Neural Nano Cortex   

The Neural Nano Cortex: Ultra-Compact, Power-Packed Digital Amp, Cab, and Effects Processor

The Neural Nano Cortex puts the power of a full guitar or bass rig in the palm of your hand. With Neural Capture technology, this ultra-portable pedal allows you to create authentic digital replicas of amps, cabs, and pedals with unparalleled sound quality. Whether on stage, in the studio, or at home, the Nano Cortex offers everything you need to shape your tone with studio-quality effects, adaptive noise control, and comprehensive signal chains. It's the future of guitar and bass processing, compact enough to fit in your gig bag.

Neural Capture Technology: Revolutionary Tone Replication

The Nano Cortex is built around Neural Capture technology, the same groundbreaking system found in Neural’s flagship Quad Cortex. This technology allows you to create digital models of any amp, cab, or pedal in minutes, with unmatched accuracy and sound fidelity. Simply connect your gear, press the Capture button, and the Nano Cortex will replicate your setup’s tone, delivering a digital version that’s virtually indistinguishable from the original. It’s fast, easy, and fully self-contained—no need for extra tools, apps, or computers.

Ultra-Portable, Studio-Quality Sound

The Nano Cortex is as small as two standard stompboxes placed side by side, weighing just 620g (1.36lbs), but don’t let its size fool you—it delivers full rig power and versatility. Featuring pre and post effects, Impulse Response (IR) loader, and an extensive range of studio-quality sounds, the Nano Cortex can be used as a standalone unit or integrated into your existing setup. You also get free access to thousands of Neural Captures in the Cortex Cloud, giving you limitless tone-shaping possibilities.
