I hope you guys enjoy this deep dive into Neural DSP's latest and greatest achievement! I know how hard they've worked on this incredible product and, believe me, it's been worth the wait and all the hype - this thing is amazing! Just check out the Dual Fusion capture towards the end of the video - MIND BLOWN. Let me know your thoughts below and if you'll be picking a Quad Cortex up for yourself. Stay safe and well guys and thanks as ever for watching. Tom
Really good and very high quality video in all aspect, well structed and perfect explained video. IT sounded BLOODY freaking good!. Really well done Tom
Hey! Great demo - I'm a fan of trying to recreate the feeling of "amp in the room" with most of my presets on the HX stomp and other modelers. I know you've mentioned this "practice" in other videos, perhaps of the stomp? Usually involving a room-reverb in the end or maybe by using room-mic IRs and such. I was wondering if you've tried getting the "amp in the room"-sound with the Quad Cortex with good results?
@@Blahaba mate... in a recording studio we put the amp in a room & then mic it & sit in another room... we then process it, mix it , master it & then release it... amp in the room tone doesn’t sit well in a mix which is why we do it this way so to try & recreate it seems nonsensical to me when we’re trying to recreate a recorded amp for a mix... so can I politely ask, what will you do with your amp in a room sound?
@@stuartangel8212 it sounds a little bit cold and sterile to me. I've seen all the best players demos they sound great this thing is amazing. It's just not warm enough for me I wish someone would warm it up a little in the demo
How many presets does it come with? I'm looking for my next tool for my studio and I make tracks all day, so I need lots of cool presets. Sounds great!
Killer tones man. When you dialed in the first tone without playing a note, then strummed the chord and it sounded like a normal amp really shows the accuracy of this unit. An amp with three dials is typically easy to get good sound on and this unit seems to accurately replicate that. I’m here for it.
I received mine two weeks ago. I played live 2 days later going straight into the P.A .It’s fantastic. The audio guy said I never sounded better. I played the whole show on one setting. I set up a clean sound and would tap on a couple different drives, reverb and delays as needed. I also ran this into back of my Suhr badger effects return using only the power stage to drive it. Really amazing.
I ordered one months ago and now will have the Fractal, Kemper and The Cortex. It sure seems great. I've saved your advert to watch again. Thanks for your advice and awesome playing.
I sold my Helix today after having it for so long, moved over to the Neural DSP family. What a unit, two years down the line and it feels this company / product is going from strength to strength.
Wow! This was so cool and interesting and well thought / executed introduction and a demo of the product! I would love to see you make more videos of this unit. You should be the official guy for Neural DSP tutorials
Great video, thanks for creating this. This unit sounds awesome, almost as awesome as your outstanding playing. I pre-ordered this a couple months ago, waiting...
@@Leo-jt3tc Reth Shull said that some preset are janky... but the real power of this unit is the ability to share captures / tones... you have access to all the tones possible, with a little bit of time this will be the favorite guitarist companion!
Not that I needed any reassurance of my preorder of the QC, but i am now even more excited about getting my hands on it! Incredible video Tom and thank you for taking the time and effort to create this.
Thanks Tom for your great review & damn fine demo of the Quad Cortex Neural Dsp. Its head & shoulders above the rest on TH-cam. You review is super to follow & digest making it a joy to watch without causing confusion or doubts about choices & methods in using the device. I now own one & refer to your demo as a reference when needed if I'm in any need. Or in case I've missed out on anything. The unit itself is fortunately very intuitive to use but in the hands of an expert like yourself, its lends added help and support when using its many geat features. And ultimately, you'll save me time and help me prevent or overcome any problems along the way. Cheers mate !!
There is in "Preset Mode" because it has to completely delete and reconstruct a signal chain, but in "Scene" and "Stomp" modes it shouldn't, because all of the components have already been loaded and you'd just be changing settings and bypassing/turning on models already in the chain.
Thanks for the video and especially thanks for showing the dynamics of the unit! (the reason why I never really went away from the Axe Fx....but now I'm getting interested in the quad cortex :)
Love this thing. Almost passed on it due to not being happy with the 2 other tweaker’s. This is easy to set up and sounds and feels great. Especially, with your own external pedal. Amps always win but this thing is even fun not a pita. Great job Tom.
I've had a Quad Cortex on pre-order since January 2020. After multiple shipping delays, it's nice to see that influencers are finally getting their hands on the unit... Makes me believe that my unit might not be too far away. Great playing and tones, Tom! Then again, you could probably make a Squier Bullet Strat and a Line 6 Spider Amp sound phenomenal! 😂😂😂👍🏽👍🏽
Like dogs to a bone, guitar players are so drawn to the latest bone! The salivating is palpable... Of course it looks great, I'm a guitar player!! That 7 inch touch screen, amount of power and other things are crazy appealing. But Kemper is a trusted, faithful friend, that keeps giving free updates, and more than meets my needs. I've got a lot of awesome profiles, including killer Hiwatts, my present favorite.
Wow, great video, best demo yet - though we still need some more patches demoed... but you did cover everything else... Awesome playing as usual... Did you go direct into a DAW for this video?
Great demo and always amazing playing! At the end, when you change the gain on the Jubilee capture settings, is it "guessing" what the Jubilee's increased gain would sound like, or just adding Neural's gain? Does that makes sense?
Bro! Please dont apologize! This video just sold me on QC. I currently play a helix. Now i just need to some how get my hands on the limited edition one
Looks and sounds awesome. Seems as though the designers have really thought hard about making it intuitive and reliable. Very tempted. The lockdown beard is a great feature too, though I already have one of those on my board.
Amazing demo!! Do you happen to know if the Pitch Shift effect is polyphonic? Like could you use it to emulate a guitar tuned half a step lower? Thanks!
Tom - you can make anything sound amazing! How does this product compare to the BOSS GT-1000? That's what I own right now, and you made it sound awesome as well in your demos!
I have a quad cortex. It’s the future of guitar. Line 6 helix and kemper was good but the interface and sounds are so close to real thing on QC I can’t tell the difference at this point. It’s perfect form factor too.

Man, you manage to make everything sound amazing!! Great video, thanks again!
I've got mine on order in the USA from Sweetwater! I just sold my Fractal FM-3 and FC-6 so I am really hoping that it was worth it!!

Beautiful playing! Thanks so much for the support and the Presets
My pleasure! This thing rules so hard - congrats guys.
Looks like an awesome advancement on digital tech. I have a gigrig g2 powered rig and this could easily duplicate it with a 10th the weight.

Sounds bloody awesome dude!
Yeah dude - it's such a fantastic device! Thoroughly enjoyed your video.
You sound bloody awesome, Bea!
It’s a Leeds thing - all the best UK guitarists have a Leeds connection ;-)
crazy to think Rabea now has his own Neural plugin!
Never apologize for long videos with thorough content. It’s what is honestly greatly lacking in TH-cam-World.
100% I could watch Tom playing with this for hours! Can't wait to see more.
Finally, a demo highlighting clean tones with something other than power chords! Thank you. Sounds great Tom!!

absolutely incredible demo Tom, answered all my questions and addressed any overhype anxiety.
Great demo, what really sells this is the little grin when you switch to the capture of the Dual Fusion, says it all.
Sensational. Just watched about 15 different Quad Cortex videos on TH-cam and this video is by far the best sounding one. Not even close.
.my Helix Floor just got up and walked out of my house with this really sad look
I ordered one months ago and now will have the Fractal, Kemper and The Cortex. It sure seems great. I've saved your advert to watch again. Thanks for your advice and awesome playing.
that smile of satisfaction when you realize that it's finally here what you always wanted 37:40. min 😁
Just seeing this now (early 2023) but the best description of the QC I've seen anywhere - thanks Tom.
I was already planning on getting one, but your video along with Rabea's completely sold me on the Quad Cortex. Incredible playing and tones, Tom!

Fantastic Tom - thanks for the vid and your great work. The "Clean Lead" sounded especially awesome to these ears!
Amazing tones and amazing playing as always.
I’m glad you showcased the plexi. All of the other reviewers didn’t show it. It sounds so good! Quad Cortex will be happening for me!
The Sound quality is soooo goood. Also i love the User interface. Its very intuitive. Great review
One of the best review I have seen of the QC! Bravissimo!!! 🙏🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video, thanks for creating this. This unit sounds awesome, almost as awesome as your outstanding playing. I pre-ordered this a couple months ago, waiting...
Thanks for the brilliant demo! Ordered QC today!
THIS is the demo this unit needed. If you’re making presets, then this might be the first unit in history with usable presets out of the box! 🤗
@@Leo-jt3tc Reth Shull said that some preset are janky... but the real power of this unit is the ability to share captures / tones... you have access to all the tones possible, with a little bit of time this will be the favorite guitarist companion!
Great vid, thank you Tom! Just amazing how they fit all that into such a small box.

Great video Tom. Thank you. I just received my preorder unit yesterday, been playing with it today. The UI is really nice and easy.
Tom, I enjoy all your videos. Long or short, it doesn't matter. You are also one of my favorite guitarists!
Dude, Airy Reverbs, whatever you played on that was beautiful. Good job.
Thank you. Sounds good. Great playing.
Thanks for this, really great in depth demo, much appreciated.
Best review of this unit so far.
Dude, the "Holds On" touched my heart, I swear!
Excellent presentation of the features and possibilities! Terrific playing too. Maybe most important, thanks for getting "Neutrik" right! :D
Great video, incredibly informative and sounds amazing! Just pre-ordered because of this video!
Sick playing man, great tones!
Can't wait for mine
Ohh yeah! Finally a video! I'll do as you said, grab a coffee and then go for the dive!
Could do nothing but smile when you compared the captured DF to the real one. Ridiculously close. Great demo as usual, Tom.
The best thing I learned was the old sheet music stand to hold the modeler trick. perfect.
Great content. Do the patches morph into one another when switching from one patch to another or is there a short silence in the sounds and fx?
There is in "Preset Mode" because it has to completely delete and reconstruct a signal chain, but in "Scene" and "Stomp" modes it shouldn't, because all of the components have already been loaded and you'd just be changing settings and bypassing/turning on models already in the chain.
Thanks for this, Tom! Sounding super cool!
Sounds awesome, Tom! Really want to pick one of these up!
Thanks for the video and especially thanks for showing the dynamics of the unit! (the reason why I never really went away from the Axe Fx....but now I'm getting interested in the quad cortex :)
What a joy watching you play Tom 😍😍😍
Sounds good here Tom. I have the Dual Fusion too. 👍
Thanks, man! This is a really useful and enjoyable video.
Loved this video,and yes u did taught us every detail pretty well.Waiting for this to be in stock.God bless u sensei
Thanks for the video

EPIC TOE-NAIL POWER! Haha great stuff Tom as always.
Dang, that beard is growing in quite nicely! It suits you well. I wish I could grow something more than a Fu Manchu... 😭😭😭
Your playing is fantastic. I have one of these on pre-order from Swetwater. I can't wait to get it! Cheers!
Tom Quayle is maybe the most chill fusion shredder in the world. I just wish he would release more albums of his own music.
Clean sound was awesome on the second preset 💜
i love the extra thump in the QC version
On the scene with overdrive reverb and chorus you turned the volume down on the guitar and the unit reacted like a tube amp sounded really good !
I've had a Quad Cortex on pre-order since January 2020. After multiple shipping delays, it's nice to see that influencers are finally getting their hands on the unit... Makes me believe that my unit might not be too far away. Great playing and tones, Tom! Then again, you could probably make a Squier Bullet Strat and a Line 6 Spider Amp sound phenomenal! 😂😂😂👍🏽👍🏽
Eminent
Dang, I just realized that they personalized the back of your unit! LUCKY!!! 😁😁😁
Good God! Those first two presets are otherworldly!
Tom sounds great even on Line 6 pocket Pod
I just bought this as a travel rig. Cant wait to plug this in.
Like dogs to a bone, guitar players are so drawn to the latest bone! The salivating is palpable... Of course it looks great, I'm a guitar player!! That 7 inch touch screen, amount of power and other things are crazy appealing. But Kemper is a trusted, faithful friend, that keeps giving free updates, and more than meets my needs. I've got a lot of awesome profiles, including killer Hiwatts, my present favorite.
Wow, great video, best demo yet - though we still need some more patches demoed... but you did cover everything else...
Awesome playing as usual...
Did you go direct into a DAW for this video?
Tom made it sound even better .. patiently waiting !
Great video, incredible tones, top notch playing as always Tom! Was wondering what the signal path for this video though
wow Im convinced.. this will be my next purchase for sure. great videos thanks
Tom how does this compare to Fractal Audio Axe Fx? I've seen you for years using fractal audio.
Now that's how you do a proper demo. Nice work Tom
Very good review. Thanks so much!
You sold me! Placing my order today!
Can't wait for a proper VH1 tone / preset
Hi Tom , you had a much more touch sensitive tone and inspired playing when you done the demo of the Boss GT 1000 core , lol !
Great demo and always amazing playing! At the end, when you change the gain on the Jubilee capture settings, is it "guessing" what the Jubilee's increased gain would sound like, or just adding Neural's gain? Does that makes sense?
Bro! Please dont apologize! This video just sold me on QC. I currently play a helix. Now i just need to some how get my hands on the limited edition one
My God your such a diverse incredible player. Great video just bought this and looking forward to learning more about it.
Jesus Tom! You sound even faster and more clean. Is that even possible? Lockdown has created a monster!
The quad core has definitely thickened your beard out Tom. Awesome demo, thanks
amazing product and playing Tom
Looks and sounds awesome. Seems as though the designers have really thought hard about making it intuitive and reliable. Very tempted. The lockdown beard is a great feature too, though I already have one of those on my board.
You are a phenomenal player! :) Thank you for the video.
Awesome Video Tom as always !!!
Amazing demo!! Do you happen to know if the Pitch Shift effect is polyphonic? Like could you use it to emulate a guitar tuned half a step lower? Thanks!
Tom - you can make anything sound amazing! How does this product compare to the BOSS GT-1000? That's what I own right now, and you made it sound awesome as well in your demos!
Man that jubilee capture was freaking killer!
Wow, what a fantastic device, gorgeous playing as always. I'm not a Star Wars fan but Tom is a secret Jedi master at 🎸 right?
That dual jazz patch was lovely
WOW :) at the end, 80's metal sound:)
Fantastic playing!
Sounds amazing!!🔥
I just came here to hear Tom play! :)
oh, man... your technique is grate! Damn it :)
very nice. Allot of "Soldano" type tones, so it sounds like to me. Very tight and rich. I like it
Do you prefer this or still the Fractal FM3?
Congratulations, you have a lot of taste playing
I have a quad cortex. It’s the future of guitar. Line 6 helix and kemper was good but the interface and sounds are so close to real thing on QC I can’t tell the difference at this point. It’s perfect form factor too.
You're a wonderful player Tom
That sounds REALLY good.
Clear patch reminded me of Holdsworth, great unit.
You can capture friggin pedals with this thing?
thats ridiculously awesome
