The Neural DSP Nano Cortex is an ultra-compact powerhouse that brings Neural Capture technology and a comprehensive signal chain into the palm of your hand. With the ability to create Neural Captures on-device in under five minutes it offers unparalleled convenience for guitarists and bassists. Featuring seven fully customisable device blocks including Adaptive Gate Chorus and Analog Delay along with a built-in IR loader the Nano Cortex delivers studio-quality sound in a portable format. Despite its small size this versatile unit functions as a full-fledged audio interface with USB-C connectivity allowing for seamless recording at 24-bit 48kHz resolution. With Bluetooth for wireless preset management and firmware updates plus Cortex Cloud integration to access thousands of captures and presets the Nano Cortex provides endless creative potential in a compact user-friendly design.

Multi-Effects Pedals
A multi-effects processor combines several effect algorithms and signal-routing stages in one unit. Its sound depends not only on the individual models but on their order, parallel or serial routing, processing resolution and available control. Preset structure, switching gaps, foot control, expression assignment, amp or cabinet modelling, USB audio and MIDI determine how completely the processor can replace separate pedals.
Tags
Analogue
The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.
Bluetooth
Provides a short-range wireless data or audio connection. Depending on the design it may carry backing audio, editing commands, preset management or MIDI rather than the live instrument signal; codec delay and supported Bluetooth profiles determine what the connection can do.
IR Loader
Convolves the signal with an impulse response, a captured measurement of a cabinet, speaker, microphone, room or other linear system. File length, sample rate, latency, storage and routing determine the detail of the captured response and how flexibly it can be combined.
Presets
Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.
USB
Provides a Universal Serial Bus connection for power, audio, MIDI, firmware or editing data. The supported USB class and connector do not by themselves show its purpose; channel count, sample format, host compatibility and power demand define the actual function.
