Neural DSP debuted the Quad Cortex to critical acclaim, instantly illustrating to the diverse worlds of tone crafting and sound design that a groundbreaking new way to sculpt and refine your guitar’s sonic profile had emerged. But how might you go about blending your Quad Cortex sounds with physical amps? Following the realization that his mother-ship pedalboard was too large and unwieldly to keep shipping around the world, Rabea Massaad envisioned a new avenue that blended control, sound, and form factor into a backpack-friendly arrangement. Rabea drops by Sweetwater to show you firsthand how to merge the two worlds into a hybrid sound setup greater than the sum of its parts, including MIDI control of his Victory amp via the Quad Cortex, advanced tone crafting, and more.
