Rabea and Pete are back for another episode of Andertons TV and today, are learning how to capture guitar effects pedals & create presets on the Neural DSP Quad Cortex Amp Modeller.
With the Quad Cortex truly bridging the gap between real amps and amp modellers, how close can it get to sounding like the real deal when capturing guitar pedals?
Along with four powerful processors, 50+ amplifiers and effects, downloadable IRs and an onboard biomimetic AI technology, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex is quickly becoming a must-have for a lot of guitarists.

If you're interested in testing another amp/pedal capture feature, I have a free plugin I made for fun called the SmartPedal that uses similar technology to the Quad Cortex. There's a tutorial on my channel of a pedal capture as well. Thanks!
Can’t wait to capture my Boss TU-3!
Tried my boss NS-2 a couple days ago, you can't even hear the difference!
About to capture a monster cable.
I’m going to capture my axe fx ultra.
I’ll capture new ernieball strings.
I'll capture my ex gf
Tried capturing an amp yesterday and almost jumped out of my skin when it started making those sounds.
It's terrifying when you're not expecting it! We've got a video of Rabea attempting to scare Pete with it coming soon... 😂
SO , how exactly does the capturing work, I assumed youd need to min max every control so the unit could analyze whats going on, but it seems to just run a signal through ?
@@tharsgaard663 I think it captures a setting on a pedal rather than the entire pedal which would be probably unreasonable from a practical point of view.
@@ERWebster Yeah I read some other comments after asking , seems if you want to emulate specific tones from a pedal then the pedal needs to be set like that before you capture, then captured again for any different tones
@@andertons Are those sounds too loud for apartment amp captures?
Can't wait to capture my Spider iii. - I'll be the envy of no one.
I won’t be surprised if this unit becomes the “Windows” of the guitar world. Imagine everyone having it, sharing, cloning, downloading tones etc. Amazing tones by the way.
I was just thinking of going to a concert with other bands and digging a dude's amp tone and just coming there "mind if I capture your amp?" and then I can use that sound too wow
I bought a Femder Twin Reverb off a guy that didn’t even use it, just captured on his Kemper and sold for $800. I was like ha! Sucker! Now I have the Quad Cortex which is arguably better than the Kemper and my poor Twin is crying. I’m like, “you too heavy baby”
The way all the footswitches become the knobs for the effects is so seamlessly awesome.
As seen on the TC G-System 12 years ago.
Awesome for studio? Yes
Awesome for Stage? No
That thing would be safely tucked in a rack with a bulletproof Midi-controler taking the beatings and beers out front if I were to take it on the road
Apologies if you saw this episode upload twice, we had a minor glitch, which is now sorted!

I saw it. It was a great episode!
Anything for Pete, Rabea and of course The Captain! :)
I was incredibly confused when I couldn't find it after I saw it on my home page
Thank you!
I'm more confused that you talk about a video you haven't uploaded yet at the beginning. Blindfold test?
What a time to be alive and a guitar player.
Pete: You don't need... *Pete realizing what he is just about to say*
Pete: AHHHHH!
Lol
I'm gonna capture all the Pokémon with this thing! Can't wait
I'm loving the Guitar/music world right now , the tech is amazing and just seems to be getting better and better every 6 months , us Guitar players haven't had it so good.
You won’t buy them and return them when anyone online can share them. But you will still dream of having a real Klon. Keep chasing that tone!
Freaking awesome day when You Two are together! Thanks guys. Made my day.
I love seeing Pete's mind being blown multiple times in this video. As a tube amp lover myself, this is a total game changer.
Clean, minimalist, clutter free. Game changer indeed!😎
This is an awesome video...I have my Quad Cortex on order and I can not wait to receive it! Rock on!
WOW! That pedal capture is bizarre.... I pre-ordered mine on the strength of their plugins, now I am HANGING out for the ship date... great work guys, appreciate the vids!
The touch screen and being able to save presets in the cloud is a game changer. Wish Helix had these functions.
So fun watching Pete have this much fun!
Thanks for going in detail on testing the Neural Capture feature! Very cool technology.
Genuinely fantastic. It's THE detail that sells the QC thus far for me.
When capturing the pedals you can switch the toggle switches and record them as another version of the same pedal with whatever 'hard' settings engaged. This is something I do with another capture. If it has EQ settings like the Metal Zone, you would have to dial in a few EQ settings and name them in like "Metal Zone EQ mid-high-low" etc and re-capture them as "MT2 low cut EQ", "MT2 mid cut EQ", etc. All the hardware is doing is measuring the span of the knobs and the EQ curve in the pedals so once you set any switches you just rename the block something else. SO you can get all the pedal settings, you just have to do them manually.
Having sharp minds and ears like Rebea and a short list of others doing in-depth reviews on all of these amazing new technologically advanced devices and efficiently showing their capabilities is what leads me to a purchase everytime when I’m researching a piece or type of gear. It’s become an art of survival demoing gear. ✌️❤️
Every time I hear someone demo this I'm blown away--all over again--by how good it sounds. I swear I am on the cusp of selling my 100W tube amp for the Quad Cortex.
Wouldn't you still want to play through a cab? For that you need a power section, and one of the few things the quad cortex is not is a power amp.
@@ERWebster the time has come my friend. Tube amp era is damm near no more.
@@ERWebster I play a headrush directly into PA and have no need for a cab. Comes back thru wedge or in ears. Why lug what isn't needed
@@daveg4236 Sure that makes sense for gigs, but what about playing at home, rehearsing, or just noodling around? I think I would be unhappy using just monitors for that.
@@ERWebster rehersal is the same as a gig...into PA. At home noodling and learning I just slap on flat response headphones and practice songs. Has an aux in so iPad in and learn the song. What I hear in my ears is very close to what we hear in rehearsal and gigs
This thing really does sound fantastic and the user experience looks bang on too.
Unreal! Cannot wait to see how it captures other effect types
Holy molé! That sounds fantastic!
Fantastic video Gents!!
Love the form factor and interface. Wow! I hope they eventually add a good looper and a vocal harmonizer. I won’t need anything else!
Looper added a while back
Never has a DP Tone sounded so clean
This is the first digital tone unit that has caught my interest. Really impressive!
Great video. Looking forward to more videos featuring this. Seems like the ultimate combination of several technologies in an easy to use box.
I’m really interested in the pedal capture feature.
Great vid guys, with each new vid, I'm further sold onto this unit. That they all remark about the FEEL, is what truly gets me leaning into wanting one. Clearly, the tones and capturing/tweaking to near perfection IS THERE.
I say, OLA, didn't try hard enough.
, Thorn, Quayle, and Rhett didn't have to try so hard did they.
I’m excited for the Cortex. Not because I’m gonna buy one but because it puts pressure on company’s like Line 6 to continue making my Helix better.
I love that the unit gives you 3 band eq when capturing a pedal. I wish all pedals had that and now you can do it digitally.
Yes! So stoked
This will be my major modeller/profiler purchase when it comes to it.
combining the footswitch buttons with encoders is a superb idea
Can’t wait to receive mine when neural decide to ship them to you! 😁
I play a lot of digital amps (Fractal, Line 6, Boss,...) and this pedal is insane but it still has this fizzy top end compare to analog gear.
I stay on my Axe Fx 2 with the Helix in the FX Loop 😉 -> killer tones for ages
Should have saved that preset as "Pete Tonoré"
I didn't want that jam at the end to stop! Just got the quad cortex today, my mind is blown! Shredding like I've never shredded before, it's so inspiring! I've been playing guitar for for too long with just a tube head and a cab! This thing is unbelievable
What are you using to hear it?
@@neildeakin4454 I have it plugged into the footswitch out on my Peavy invective for now... I know, lol... I have Yamaha HS7'S on the way right now. I think those are sufficient, am I right? I'm knew to the whole Amp modeler thing. Or, were you asking me because you don't know either? Lol
@@GuitarDiddlerJP15 I was asking because I don't know either. I was looking at the Headrush FRFR speakers but the good news for me is that the Blackstar ID 260 TVP I own has a MP3/ line in socket. Tested it with the Cortex and it works. Just need to test it at higher volume to be sure im getting a good reproduction of the Neural captures
@@neildeakin4454 hooking into that on your blackstar will never give you the tones you are looking for... Or maybe it will, just depends on if you can recognize the difference. Idk your experience level... From what I've learned researching for the past few months, frfr speakers or a PA system hooked into an audio interface, then through your computer is optimal. I'm still learning though. My plan is to get those Yamaha speakers and skip my Amp head and cab completely. They will be a separate system that I use. I think all you need is an audio interface, possibly some kind of booster to amplify the sound coming out of the cortex and into the speakers you choose, and then a laptop. So it would go guitar - quad cortex - audio interface (quad cortex is audio interface so you don't need one, some people use a dif one on top though) - computer (with program of your choice for recording and processing) - then to frfr's.
Or... You could skip the laptop and just go guitar - quad cortex - power amp - frfr's. You need something to power the speakers though... Unless you choose powered speakers.
@@neildeakin4454 and knew =new... Damn auto correct lol
Fantastic - thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Been waiting for this woot wooot
I just bought one. I can’t wait to get it in. I’m going to pair it up with two Orange Pedal Babies going to two Mesa Boogie 4x12’s for stereo awesomeness!!! I can’t wait to hear it!!!
Waited for the Bea Dane jam the entire video. Amazing DSP too.
So where’s the other 3 videos!! I can’t wait to hear more!!
The touch screen is dope. Totally “Helix vibes” tho.....
I think a Neural DSP Quad Cortex might have to be added to the Psychedelic Hearts Club tech arsenal in 2022 - an excellent video both and good to hear to a player in roughly the same ballpark as myself (Danish Pete) getting usable tones that FEEL right from this technology. great intuitive engineering support from Rabea too 🙂
It would be cool if it ever comes out. Over here in the states it was announced to come out on September 20th of last year and then the release kept being pushed back without giving any official release date. Either way your demos are awesome and I am quite certain that once it’s out it will be a very popular product. It’s the best pedal I have heard in this category.
This sounds SOOOOO GOOD. DAMN
...And the Quad Cortex v2 will capture what you play into Guitar Pro format
that's actually not impossible at all...
Great video guys I’m such a huge fan of you I love andertones
Thanks for tuning in Kyle!
Two amazing musicians and a kinda cool thing ;)
Just ordered mine it’s supposed to be here in March I cannot wait
That sounds amazing
It's back!!!
The real champion here is the user interface on that thing. It looks super clean and seems very intuitive.
I need this in my life!
Technology Is Pretty Sweet 👍👍🎶🎶🎸Awesome Video.
Waiting on the amp capture vid now!
Can't wait to capture my Bias FX plugin!
Do all the knobs for the pedal you are capturing, have to be at a specific setting? For capture purposes or for settings you would play that pedal?
Soon they will be able to use blue tooth to capture Pete's playing style from his brain. Its like clone plus better EQ
Are the changes constantly sync'ed to the named preset stored at the cloud? Like when you assign a different switch to the effect on stomp mode?
In the words of Mick Taylor, that is dreadfully cool! Curious to see how it would handle capturing an Octavia style pedal, where the octave effect is a natural analog thing, might end up with a cool unique sound unto itself!
Just gotta keep saving my pennies. I've been loving the Neural plugins for ages
Great video guys! Question! What if want to put down my guitar for a minute and use QC as an audio interface and just listen to music from my Macbook via Spotify, Apple Music or on youtube? Can I do that? Is it just a matter of keeping it connected to my mac via USB, having monitors connected to the two XLR outputs and having the QC turned on?
I'm getting this thing!
I literally sold my Helix and pre-ordered this after this very video premiered
could you do another video using pedals through the fx loop and how would the quad cortex know where in the chain those pedals are?
quadqortex its really insane capturing im so satisfied with this guy quality tone
Which studio monitors did you use for monitoring (brand, model)? And is this better than a floor monitor for small room?
The very second i can turn upto a store and have this in front of me im buying it. im too old fashioned to just preorder and wait lol.
Great!
Question: can you output the quadvortex in a fender tonemaster and use the tonemaster just for amplification? Could you please explain the possible setups?
Devices like this and the Kemper need an FSR cab to be used properly, basically a speaker with a completely flat frequency response so you get the most from the emulation. I also don't think this has a power amp, so you'd need to get one of them
One word: Miku (!!!!) 🙃😂
that is one sick feature...
Be interested to see how it handles vocals. In the sense of EQ, Comp and FX...
Because if for an acoustic gig that could be the whole rig...well that would be awesome!!!
Sounds great ,now send me one since you’ve had my money since October
If they aren't sending it, I'm guessing they caught an issue. Better to wait, you don't want her broken
HI Can I ask specifics about what you have the Quad plugged into, i.e. do you have mics in front of an amp, is it going into a PA, is it into a computer coming out of computer speakers?
The true test for me on these devices is how they sound direct on a full track. Especially if it's a guitar driven band. I've noticed after owning a bunch of both hardware and vst amp modelers recording reveals so much as opposed to just jamming in a room.
It should have a sound clip of Shang Tsung saying "YOUR SOUL IS MINE!"
I was thinking about capturing a metal zone!
"That sounds pretty good to me." Pete is my kind of guy..
Can someone explain the pedal capture? Does it just capture the pedal settings that was used during the capture process? Once captured are you able to tweak the pedal like you normally would?
Incredible
Rabea's such an awesome presenter
The second I can capture the Strymon pedals I'm buying one of these. This is absolutely insane.
Damn that Metal Zone sounds good!
This made me thinking. The 'capture pedal future' in combination with the return policy will be interesting. I could buy guitar pedals for around 1000 euro, use them with the Quad Cortex, and return them.. I wonder how big companies like Andertons, Thomann and Bax-shop will deal with this in the future. Maybe release patches / digital packages you can buy? Like Kemper has profiles.
The capture is just a snapshot of the current settings on a pedal but it's still an interesting thing to think about.
@@reallyeffingcooltechnodude It isnt just a snapshot? They also tweaked the settings. I run around 8 overdrive/boost pedals because a single channel amp. If I can drop these out of my board im happy with it.
@@noelhoekstra6852 There's a simple eq and gain builti in the Quad Cortex but it's not the same as the pedal. Like they mentioned in the vid Neural has a knob twisting robot that goes through millions of settings when capturing an amp or a pedal.
You could easily capture those pedals with the settings you are using them with when playing live tho
@@reallyeffingcooltechnodude Aah i see!
As I understand, you only capture one position of the pedal's knobs. If you change the position of one knob, you'll need to 'capture' it again to get it inside the Quad Cortex. So, the pedals are stil useful if you want to play with the thousands of possible knob combination settings of your pedal.
Rabea looks like such a proud dad.
So, if you where to capture a Vertex Steel String singer, and put in front of a Fender style amp in the Cortex
Would it then sound like a Dumble? Would love to know your input on this!
Great video as always!
Amazing! I run my Kemper through a power amp & Cab (With cab turned off on the real cab & Stereo out to the P.A. I'd like you guys to do that with the DSP Cortex. By the way I have one on the way!
How would you use this live in a club? Through a speaker cab? Or just xlr to di to the sound board?
Great video. I would love to see you capture a pedal and then A/B it with the original pedal in front of a real amp, rather than into the QC. It would be great if I could capture and replace my pedal board with the QC when I'm playing the real tube amp, (no amp or cab sims switched on in the QC), as well as having all the other QC features. I would then use the QC amp and cab sims (and effects) for headphone use and recording
This thing doesn't suck..... XD That pedal capture function is already scary good in this v1. Neural is the current king....geez....Paradigm shift imminent. I'll always love my tube amps and analog pedals. But I also have lots of different screwdrivers in my life. Gear is no different - just tools to inspire and create music.
$1500 Metalzone? Honey, fetch me the credit card!
Rabea mentions at one point running the quad cortex into a cabinet. Does that require a power amp? Or a powered cabinet like the kemper one?
It does require a power amp. FRFR and FOH are the main way. The manual is up on their website.
Planning to run mine through the Fryette PS2 power amp into my cab.
What speaker is it playing through? what about connect directly to guitar cabinet ?
Guys... quick question. On the A / B approach. If you put the actual pedal in an effects loop and the 'captured pedal' before the amp in the chain, and then assign the 'captured pedal' and the effects loop (leaving the physical pedal on all the time, but toggling the effects loop on/off) to the same foot switch. Would that work? Enabling you to press one foot switch to simultaneously turn one off and the other on (same time). This approach works on the Helix.. will it work on the QC?
Yes, you can do with scenes I think, check out the other reviews Rabea and Tom Quayle did, Toms is a bit more in depth , here's a link to Toms ... ua-cam.com/video/uhvbQ4oPXck/v-deo.html
