Capture real gear. Play it anywhere.

Neural Capture creates ultra-accurate digital models of real amps, cabinets, drive pedals, and compressors. Choose from thousands of Captures created by players and artists around the world, or effortlessly create your own. 

Dynamics, touch, and feel are captured alongside tone, so what you play reacts the way you expect. Roll back your guitar volume. Dig in harder. The response stays musical and familiar. The sounds you rely on stay with you, wherever you choose to play.

Quad Cortex mini comes preloaded with over 2000 high-quality factory Neural Captures, so you can start playing inspiring, studio-ready sounds immediately.

The Grid. See your entire rig at a glance.

The Grid is the visual workspace at the heart of Quad Cortex mini. It makes building, understanding, and modifying signal chains intuitive, with no menu diving or hidden layers

Create rigs by placing virtual device blocks across a clear, grid-based signal flow. Rearrange blocks freely, split signals into parallel paths, and route any part of your chain to different outputs with precision and confidence.

Complex setups stay readable. Simple ideas stay simple. Everything is exactly where you expect it to be.

Designed for fast, intuitive control

Touchscreen and rotary footswitches
A 7” touchscreen display paired with four stainless steel rotary footswitches gives you responsive, tactile control at your fingertips and under your feet, whether you’re editing sounds or performing.

Parameter Focus System
When a block is selected, the rotary footswitches automatically map to the most relevant parameters. This makes it easy to dial in sounds by ear, adjust settings quickly, and stay focused on playing instead of navigating menus.

Flexible switching modes
Choose the control style that fits how you play:

Preset mode for switching between complete rigs

Scene mode for seamless changes within a single Preset

Stomp mode for pedalboard-style control

Hybrid mode for combining modes across footswitch rows

Gig View
A high-contrast, performance-ready layout with large text and clear visual feedback. Opposite Page Preview shows assignments from the other Page at a glance, so you’re never guessing mid-song.
