Fantastic video! Just bought one and cannot wait until it arrives. Because of your videos (and killer playing and tone) I feel enabled to make the most of this unit.
Exactly , but for some reason they want you to buy either a limited expensive pedal , or the quad cortex so that they get more money out of it. It's called anchoring
@@babygust1235 if I understand correctly you wanted to check out his music, right? You can find him by his own name "John Connearn" on the music platforms 👍
I just ordered one. This is all I need. I don’t use a lot of effects. I hope an OD block is added at some point. For now I’ll just use captures with OD when I want to go that route. Being able to capture my plugins is a big deal for me.
I'd assume you could create a preset out of most plugins - at the end of the day, the neural capture captures the sound signature, so nothing prevents you from getting the tone you want, capturing it and then disabling everything else (IR, or disable IR during capture, delay/reverb)
@@crls.0 Yeah that would be a decent workaround. I was hoping to not need the extra steps. I can understand no full plugins moved over but it would have been nice to get, say for me, my SLO100X rhythm and lead sounds over in an easier way.
the work around before the QC could use plug ins was they used the plugin to create captures, so this would still apply for the nano, but yeah, not as flexible as the plug in operating on the nano
I actually like this. I know guys complaining which some of them are legit but for me I only need 4 presets becuz I’ve always used and external OD or distortion. Functionality wise this works for me. Portability wise it works for me. Workflow wise this works for me. It literally checks all the boxes

@@matheusbarros3577 you can’t, here’s the reply from neural support regarding this: “A capture is a snapshot of a signal chain.

Can you output the 2 outs as double mono? One with IR and one without? That way you could run a stereo rig through an on stage amp and also send to PA.
Ok, so the one question I always have for those kinds of units (and actually a bit of a deal-breaker when something like the ToneX came out); can one of the outputs have an IR active while the other doesn't? And if not what prevents it from having that option? (For a use case where you want an amp and cab on stage but prefer to send a more mix-ready sound to the FOH... I'm still not totally sold on FRFRs quite yet)
In metal guitars are usually double tracked, left and right channels. So, can this device reamp 2 DI mono tracks at once to stereo track, and apply reverb to group of tracks?
The point is that the market is full of only profile players at any price point. This device, as far as I know, is the only one that do the profiling thing in a compact size and without using a computer.
I just bought the m-vave chocolate for use with NC. But I have a problem that I can't solve: the chocolate has 8 banks with 4 buttons each, so I can only assign one switch for the first 32 presets of the NC. Does anyone have the solution to be able to load the remaining 32? Thank you.
@@crescentonc7568you would use drives, comps, wahs etc into input then output into time based effects. However, at that point get a tonex it’s cheaper.

Stereo and capturing ability! Add Cortex Control integration and improve on the FX (where's tap tempo and dual delay?) you are gonna wipe the floor with the Kemper Player!
@Mr_Bollie I wouldn't get your hopes up on improving the fx. Look at the price point. It's intentionally priced smack dab in the middle of the kemper and tonex. They don't want to make a device that makes their expensive flagship obsolete. Because what most people need is just a few effects. The player was a good idea but it's just old tech. They have the capability of making this device like the hx stomp but they intentionally didn't.
Dude that intro track is mind blowing, especially the 1:06 part, I loved that. What style or genre is this? It reminds me a bit of Polyphia, but where do I find similar music that isn't so flashy or insane? I mean that in a good way xD. I need to get inspired and get ideas.

Let me the first (apparently) to celebrate this awesome device. I am a long standing QC owner and professional guitarist. I use the QC exclusively for my live rig, and very satisfied with its capabilities. I plan to also get the Nano Cortex as a “B rig” in the event of fails with my “A rig”, or for rare situations where my A rig is not with me (it happens). I have nearly zero complaints with the design and capabilities of the Nano Cortex. I will say that it would be a nice option to swap the transpose block for a drive or capture block. Anyway, off now to Sweetwater to buy one of these, as this will be a much better “B Rig” option for me. Thank you @NeuralDSP and great job!
@@rethinktone well, I am already in the Neural ecosystem. I have many excellent captures of my own pedals and amps. Why should I deal with a different vendor, ecosystem, and captures?
@thechrisbuelow well because the job of the backup should be endless capabilities in a small affordable package. This only does amps and a little delay and chorus with no tap tempo. Unless you really don't need any effects for your set. But if that's the case why do you have the most dsp heavy modeler on the market? For a backup, why is it important to have the exact amp models from that ecosystem. Every modeler has basically every style of amp that exists. It just seems like a waste to buy this new for 550 for it to sit around most of the time and not even give the full flexibility in that 1% of time you need it for
So if I want to use an amp boosted with an overdrive pedal, it must be captured together and it cannot be mixed separated into the unit, meaning that the gain, mid, high and bass will affect the mixed sound of amp and pedal as one? Great 👎
My heart literally SUNK when I saw this video pop up. First before anything I went to the price, 550USD. I can afford that! Now we’re in business. Finally I can have Tim Henson multivoicer tones In the form of a pedal. Then I hear theirs no plugin support or modeling. What’s the point? HUGE let down…
I’m not sure I understand exactly what’s going on with the captures. Let’s say I want to run an amp with a boost in front. Since there’s only 1 slot for captures, how can I do it without actually putting a pedal in front of the NC ? Do I have to capture that boost pedal and the amp at the same time ? If someone understands my question pls give me an answer 🤐
I have a very simple question, but since I have no knowledge about recording and interfaces, I hope someone can help me: I have audio monitors (Edifier) that have RCA connections. How could I monitor the sound using the Nano Cortex as an interface? What outputs would I use and how can I send this signal directly to the monitors? I don't have an output from my computer to the monitors, currently I connect them directly to the output of my current pedalboard.
Please, is there any chance you'll unlock the capture input for a regular input and allow me to use the input and output as a loop? Being able to place a multi fx or a switcher anywhere in the signal chain would make this an instant buy for me..
Sorry but I’m a noob, I’m playing through headphones and learning how to use this, i get needing an IR with a DI capture but i see some captures say it’s captured through a cab, so do i turn off IR in that case or still need an IR??
Wow. It’s only my opinion but I think most people are missing the point with this one. I think when you consider that the Tonex plus the Tonex capture device is 650.00, the nano is very competitively priced at 550. And for that matter the Tonex one with the Tonex capture device is is 430.00 and you only get one foot switch. I’m not saying that I think it’s perfect, but I think it will fit my situation. I’m wanting to capture my real amp/cab setup and use as an all in one. 4 presets plus a hold function for a tuner will be enough for me and will fit in my gig bag or case. My biggest grip is I wish there were more options for reverbs preferably a fendery spring.
Great! Simple, light and good! Now I just want to be able to tweak it live without stooping. Ie: have some remote control knobs and switches on my guitar. Any ideas?
@NeuralDSP could you produce Quad cortex (full version) into the rack 2U or better 1U (nobody from the big players have it) format for the bands who use all in one rack :-)
Will this work with acoustic guitars with passive magnetic pickups? Does it work in lieu of an acoustic preamp or would I still need a preamp like an LR Baggs or the likes?

My biggest grip is I wish there were more options for reverbs preferably a fendery spring.
Quick Q : can you have 2 distinct signal chains going to each outputs ? like the flagship device ?
I don't get the tuning concept in this device, what if i need to switch to C standard from E standard? how do i know the note ?
The note will be displayed on the Cortex Cloud app 🙌
Can the IR be disabled for just one of the outputs?
Great! Simple, light and good!
Now I just want to be able to tweak it live without stooping. Ie: have some remote control knobs and switches on my guitar. Any ideas?
Do we have the option to have for example the IR activated on output 1 and off on output 2?
Can i capture a tone from Fractal Ultra? Like if we created a sound/tone we like on the Ultra, can the Nano capture this sound?
Yes, you can capture OD+amp+IR, just not time based effects lol compressor, delay and reverbs
hey hi, quick question, can I use the walrus audio canvas stereo for the balanced outputs?
Would have been nice to have a small screen to show preset names at least.
So a quad cortex?
@@catastrophic82 no that one has a large screen
no effect loop 😢
@NeuralDSP could you produce Quad cortex (full version) into the rack 2U or better 1U (nobody from the big players have it) format for the bands who use all in one rack :-)
I wish I knew if every playing sample was using pre-loaded presets or if John made them. They do sound really great so I hope they’re factory.
Will this work with acoustic guitars with passive magnetic pickups? Does it work in lieu of an acoustic preamp or would I still need a preamp like an LR Baggs or the likes?
how does the pedal capture work? can you capture any pedal e,g a microcosm or a strymon volante? really curious about this.
You can capture OD+amp+IR, but not time based effects like compressor, delay and reverbs
Does it have a stereo input?
what amp or speakers are you using for this demo?
