Neural DSP has recently unveiled a significant update for its flagship guitar processor, the Quad Cortex. CorOS 3.1.0 and Cortex Control 1.2.0 bring a host of new features and expanded plugin compatibility, propelling the Quad Cortex to new heights of sonic versatility.
A Ton of New Tone
One of the most exciting additions is the integration of Fortin Nameless Suite X and Soldano SLO-100 X plugins. These industry-standard amp simulators, now accessible on the Quad Cortex, offer various iconic tones, from classic rock to high-gain metal.
Neural DSP has also introduced several new device profiles to complement the expanded plugin library. Guitarists can now explore the classic sounds of a 1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb and iconic stompboxes like the Boss OC-2 and DOD Meatbox SubSynth.
