Neural Capture

Create Neural Captures on-device in minutes, at the same resolution as our flagship Quad Cortex, with no extra tools or apps needed

Just connect your gear, press Capture, and within minutes, you’ll have a digital version that sounds virtually identical to the original. No computer, no internet, no app required. It’s fast, intuitive, and completely self-contained.

If you don’t want to Capture your own gear, you get free access to thousands of Neural Captures created by others in the Cortex Cloud, expanding your tonal possibilities infinitely.

Nano Cortex can learn and replicate the sonic characteristics of any physical amplifier, overdrive, and cabinet with unprecedented accuracy
