A Complete Guitar or Bass Rig in the Palm of Your Hand

The Neural DSP Nano Cortex packs the power of a full guitar or bass rig into an ultra-compact, pedal-sized unit. Weighing just 1.36 lbs and as wide as two standard stompboxes, it's built for the stage, studio, and everything in between.

Neural Capture Technology

Create incredibly accurate digital replicas of any amp, cab, or drive pedal — on-device, in minutes, with no computer required. Nano Cortex ships with 25 Neural Captures of iconic amps including the Mesa Boogie JP2C, Fender Princeton 65, Diezel VH4, and Ampeg SVT Classic. Store up to 256 Captures and access thousands more via the free Cortex Cloud.

Signal Chain

A fixed seven-slot signal chain covers everything you need for a complete rig — any slot can be bypassed to suit your setup.

• Pre Effects: Adaptive Noise Gate and Transpose (zero-latency tuning shift)
• Neural Capture: Load any of 256 stored amp/pedal captures
• IR Loader: 300 preloaded studio-quality IRs with 5 mic options and 6 mic positions; store up to 256 custom IRs
• Post Effects: Chorus (Boss DC-2W emulation), Analog Delay (BBD-style), Mind Hall Reverb (Lexicon 224 emulation)

Cortex Cloud

Wirelessly browse, download, and manage Captures and IRs via the Cortex Cloud app over Bluetooth. Access an ever-growing library of tones from artists, producers, and the global Neural DSP community — including rare vintage amps and boutique drive pedals.
