Neural DSP Nano Cortex Digital Effects Modeler Pedal

The Neural DSP Nano Cortex Digital Effects Modeler Pedal gives you the power of a full guitar or bass rig in a compact, ultra-portable pedal. With studio-quality sound, a comprehensive signal chain, and the revolutionary Neural Capture technology, it meets all your tone-shaping needs whether on stage, in the studio, or at home.

In 2020, Neural Capture revolutionized the music world with its unmatched ability to capture the true essence of any amp, cab, or drive pedal with unparalleled sound. The industry was astonished by how authentic the tones sounded and felt to play. Now, that same groundbreaking technology has been packed into a gig-ready pedal that fits in the palm of your hand. Nano Cortex is set to revolutionize the way guitarists and bassists approach tone, both on stage and in the studio.

NEURAL CAPTURE

Create Neural Captures on-device in minutes, at the same resolution as the flagship Quad Cortex, with no extra tools or apps needed. Nano Cortex can learn and replicate the sonic characteristics of any physical amplifier, overdrive, and cabinet with unprecedented accuracy. Simply connect your equipment, press the Capture button, and in minutes, you’ll have a digital version of your hardware that is 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.

If you don’t want to Capture your own gear, you get free access to thousands of Neural Captures created by others in the Cortex Cloud, expanding your tonal possibilities infinitely.

A COMPLETE GUITAR OR BASS RIG IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

Nano Cortex features a fixed signal chain consisting of seven device slots, any of which can be bypassed depending on your setup. You have everything you need for a complete guitar or bass rig, all in an ultra-compact form. Ever dream of having a collection of your favorite amps at your fingertips? Nano Cortex ships with 25 Neural Captures of amps including gems like the Mesa Boogie JP2C, Fender Princeton 65, Diezel VH4, and Ampeg SVT Classic.

You also get free access to an ever-growing library of thousands of Captures in the Cortex Cloud, including some of the rarest and most expensive amps in existence. Or, create your own Neural Capture of your favorite gear in minutes for a truly personalized rig. In addition to the preloaded Neural Captures, you can store up to 256 Neural Captures and manage them seamlessly via the Cortex Cloud app.

IMPULSE RESPONSES

The importance of cabs in shaping your tone cannot be overstated. High-quality cab simulation adds depth, character, and authenticity that makes a world of difference to your sound. Nano Cortex features an IR loader that comes preloaded with 300 studio-quality IRs, each featuring five different mic options and six mic positions. This gives you a highly detailed and customizable cabinet simulation module with endless tone shaping possibilities. In addition to the preloaded IRs, you can store up to 256 of your own IRs and manage them seamlessly with the Cortex Cloud app.

PRE EFFECTS:

• Adaptive Gate: Reduces unwanted noise for a clean signal
• Transpose: Change the tuning of your instrument with no perceivable latency

POST EFFECTS:

• Chorus: A high-quality emulation of the Boss DC-2W chorus, known for its rich and lush modulation effects.
• Analog Delay: A warm, vintage-style delay that replicates the iconic sound of a BBD-style echo.
• Mind Hall Reverb: A high-quality emulation of the legendary Lexicon 224 reverb that delivers a versatile range of reverbs, from small room ambiance to expansive hall effects.

TRAVEL LIGHT, SOUND MASSIVE

Nano Cortex can function as a complete guitar or bass rig, a replacement for your amp and cab, or a versatile stomp box/multi-effects pedal. It is as wide as two standard stompbox pedals placed side by side and weighs just 1.36 lb. It easily fits into your gig bag or backpack. Despite its compact design, you get the power and versatility of a full guitar or bass rig, making it perfect for the stage, studio, or on the go.

Replace your amp with a digital replica of virtually any amp that sounds and feels indistinguishable from the real thing. Use the IR Loader to replace your cab or utilize the Neural Capture block to Capture and replicate any amp and cab. Slot it into your existing pedalboard and connect directly to a PA system or FRFR cab. It’s a perfect live setup, without the hassle of carrying heavy gear.
