Neural DSP Nano Cortex Pedal Modeler / Profiler
Nano Cortex is an ultra-portable digital amp, cab, and effects processor for guitarists and bassists. It features Neural DSP’s acclaimed Neural Capture technology that enables you to create digital replicas of any amp, cab, or drive pedal with unmatched sound quality and playing feel.
Ultra-portable Neural Capture solution
Nano Cortex’s Neural Capture technology allows you to create incredibly accurate digital replicas of any amp, cab, or drive pedal. The process is quick and easy. Simply connect your gear, press the Capture button, and within minutes you will have a digital version of your hardware that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. There’s no need to connect to a computer, the internet, or the Cortex Cloud app. It’s fast, easy, and fully self-contained. Neural Captures created on Nano Cortex have the same resolution and quality as those made with our flagship Quad Cortex, and can be seamlessly transferred between the two devices. You also get free access to the Cortex Cloud where you can share your Neural Captures and access thousands of Captures created by the Cortex Cloud community. These Captures can be wirelessly downloaded to your Nano Cortex via the Cortex Cloud app.
Nano Cortex is intuitive and user-friendly
Nano Cortex has straightforward and intuitive controls for standalone use. You get studio-quality tones out of the box that can be easily tweaked with the onboard controls. For more detailed control and customization, the Cortex Cloud app lets you manage your device, download Neural Captures, and adjust Presets wirelessly over Bluetooth. By connecting Nano Cortex to a computer via USB-C, it doubles as a fully-fledged low-latency 24-bit, 48kHz audio interface with 7 USB channels (3 inputs/4 outputs).
