Neural DSP Quad Cortex Captures & Presets

Quad Cortex captures and presets for rock and metal guitar tones

This collection is for Neural DSP Quad Cortex users who want fast access to rock and metal guitar tones for writing, tracking, live rigs and production. It focuses on captures and presets that help guitarists move quickly from a DI signal or performance setup to a usable sound.

Quad Cortex workflows are powerful because they can combine captures, amp models, cabinets and effects. A strong preset or capture can become the foundation for a whole song, live set or production template.

Use this collection for

• Modern rhythm tones: tight high-gain sounds for dense mixes.
• Lead tones: cut, sustain and ambience for solos and melodic parts.
• Writing rigs: fast inspirational sounds for demos and pre-production.
• Live setups: tone starting points that can be adapted to your monitoring and output chain.

FAQ

What is the difference between a capture and a preset? A capture recreates the behavior of a captured source, while a preset can include a broader signal chain with effects and routing.

Will tones sound identical with every guitar? No. Pickups, playing style, output level and monitoring affect the final result.
