The pitch

Looks small. Plays big. In short, the Quad Cortex went on a diet, and somehow, nothing important got left behind.

First, you get the same neural processing engine as the full-size Quad Cortex. Then, the same 7" multitouch screen, the same CorOS, the same Neural Capture technology, the same audio quality. However, the footprint shrinks by more than 50 % : 22.8 × 11.8 cm, 1.5 kg, and suddenly it fits on a pedalboard, a desk, or a fly-rig case without negotiating for real estate.

On top of that, the Mini ships loaded : 90+ amp models spanning vintage to modern, 100+ effects and utilities for full signal chains, 1000+ cabinet IRs with flexible mic placement, and 2000+ factory Neural Captures ready out of the box. As a result, you can plug in and start working through tones for a week before you even open Cortex Cloud.

In short : the full Quad Cortex platform, half the size, none of the apologies. Pick it up, plug in, get on with the music.

Quad Cortex Mini vs Quad Cortex : straight talk

Same : processing power, audio quality, Neural Capture, CorOS software, 7" touchscreen. In other words, the sound coming out is identical.

Different : footprint reduced by more than 50 %, fewer footswitches, slimmer I/O complement, no full-floor stage geometry.

Choose Mini : pedalboard integration, desk setup, studio rig, fly dates, anywhere space is the constraint.

Choose Quad Cortex : full floor-unit workflow on stage, more footswitches under foot, more I/O for complex live routing.

Cortex Cloud : the gift that keeps giving

Neural DSP doesn't ship and forget. First, Cortex Cloud gives you access to thousands of Neural Captures shared by players and artists worldwide. Then, CorOS 3.0 brought plugin compatibility, sidechaining, multi-select, and dynamic latency compensation. Consequently, the Quad Cortex Mini you bought yesterday is meaningfully better than it was last week. That's the Neural DSP playbook.
