When a then-young Neural DSP debuted their Quad Cortex a few years back, it became immediately clear that their state-of-the-art technology was light-years ahead of its time. Multifaceted sound modeling and amplifier profiling masterfully blended cutting-edge capture capabilities with immensely detailed sonic sculpting — all contained within a streamlined, sleek, and intuitive device that could fit neatly onto your pedalboard. Countless members of the guitar world’s virtuosic vanguard instantly saw the potential for revolutionizing their studio and stage rigs. One such distinguished member, Rabea Massaad, drops by Sweetwater to give you a firsthand look at the latest developments with the Quad Cortex. Plus, Neural DSP’s Max Taylor Grant joins Rabea for a deep dive into the company’s Cortex Control software, showing you the next step into the infinite possibilities of virtual tone crafting.
