Looks small. Plays big.

Quad Cortex mini delivers the full Quad Cortex experience in our most compact, usable format yet, without cutting corners.

It brings the same processing power, audio quality, Neural Capture technology, and 7” touchscreen in a footprint that fits effortlessly into pedalboards, modern rigs, or on your desktop.

Built for exceptional performance at its size and price, Quad Cortex mini makes it easy to dial in world-class sounds, explore a vast range of amps, effects, and Captures, and build rigs without creative limits wherever you play. 

Whether you’re stepping into the Quad Cortex platform for the first time or already feel at home, Quad Cortex mini shares the same platform and workflow, making great sounds fast, intuitive, and deeply rewarding from the first note.

Arena-level performance. Shelf-ready size.

A complete guitar and bass rig in a remarkably small footprint, designed to fit naturally into pedalboards, modern rigs, and desktop setups, from studio to stage and everywhere in between.

With a footprint of just 22.8 × 11.8 cm and a weight of 1.5 kg, Quad Cortex mini delivers flagship performance in a form that’s easy to place, easy to carry, and simple to integrate into existing rigs.

A complete creative toolkit, ready to play

Quad Cortex mini comes loaded with a carefully curated collection of amps, effects, and cabinets, giving you everything you need to build inspiring guitar and bass rigs from the moment you plug in.

From vintage-inspired and modern amplifiers to studio-grade effects and flexible cabinet simulation, every virtual device is designed to respond naturally to your playing and work together seamlessly.

Capture real gear. Play it anywhere.

Neural Capture creates ultra-accurate digital models of real amps, cabinets, drive pedals, and compressors. Choose from thousands of Captures created by players and artists around the world, or effortlessly create your own.

Dynamics, touch, and feel are captured alongside tone, so what you play reacts the way you expect. Roll back your guitar volume. Dig in harder. The response stays musical and familiar.

The sounds you rely on stay with you, wherever you choose to play.

Quad Cortex mini comes preloaded with over 2000 high-quality factory Neural Captures, so you can start playing inspiring, studio-ready sounds immediately.
