Neural DSP Quad Cortex 80s Rock Tone.
I’ve had the Neural DSP Quad Cortex for about a month and a half, I’m starting to work out what internal amps I really like and what I don’t. I’m a big fan of the Marshall 100 Plexi Patch tone. In this video, I demonstrate how to program an 80s style rock tone. This tone is available for free on the Cortex cloud, all you have to do is download the app and search for The Studio Rats. The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

@thestudiorats
I tried to built the rig exactly like you did. Of course it sounds like a Marshall but not like yours. I thought it could be the guitar and tried with a PRS CE 24. But still not close to yours. Maybe the speakers or my audio interface I am routing it through?
Which components are you using?
Qc sounds good, but I wana see a video of you playing QC vs Axe fX
For me I love the Fractal stuff so much that nothings feels good to me beside the fractal audio. Wana see a video of you using both and sharing your experience with both the units
Sorry I’m late here! Great playing! I was curious what you were using to monitor your sound? Was it coming from the micd amp in the back or was did you have some sort of stereo speaker set up? Thank you!!!
made this by following your vid and used a Charvel and sounds nothing like yours … its muddy as hell even with some eq .. super weird for me
Very nice, congratulations…Quad cortex the best…
Awesome tone but it seems like the preset is not available in the cortex cloud anymore…
Hey I just found this but can only find Neural Captures but no presets on your Cortex Cloud. Any chance to get those presets still?
Sounds great and the explanation was clear. I can’t find the preset on the cortex cloud however
Thank you so much, This is just the tone I'm after, I just bought the Quad and was struggling to find an amp and cab combination that worked for me – I just followed your video and now I'm so happy with the tone – thank you!
What the… Only the amp brings you to the marshall tone that I love without tweaking with different eq's
Has anyone managed to find the uploaded preset?
Hallo where is this in cortex cloud?
Shouldn't be the cab at the end of this chain, after delay and reverb?
I dont even have a QC but you made this look real simple. I had an Axe FX and spent so much time trying to get a decent tone. i wasnt playing anywhere near what i should have been!
Maybe its time to think about this unit. Cheers.
Your profile on Neural cloud is empty, no presets
Hey great sounding preset, I just tried it. But even doing the same process you did, it's super noisy and buzzy. Do you have the same issue and then manage to edit for the video, or doesn't even happen to you? Thanks!
As always, absolutely superb Thankyou
Hi Paul! I went to the Cortex Cloud but you don't have public presets there!
In 2:00 it’s the perfect tone…
I can‘t find your sounds on the Quad Cortex Cloud. Are they still there?
I just found this video and your channel. Great info and tone.
I cannot find your presets or captures on the cloud. Did you take them down?
Did you take this preset off the cloud? Can't find it?
Sweetwater is selling Quad Cortex with a free Plug In "Soldano SLO-100 Amp and FX Suite Software".
They are different products: the plug in you use on your computer, etc. But I was wondering: is there a difference between the two Soldanos – the plug in and the one that comes standard on the Quad Cortex?
I ask because, the Soldano plugin and it's effects already comes with Quad Cortex. So other plugins would be more interesting gifts – Petrucci's, for example.
Killer tones. Thanks.
Guitar's matrix glitch at 4:12
I’m new to your channel & SO impressed! I love your QC presets & the way you dial-in the amp, drive pedals & the Delay/Reverb. I have already learned a lot that I didn’t realize with the QC too. You’re a great player as well! Peace! X-Mann
I was trying to find out how we can add two speakers just like you did. Thanks a lot!
Awesome man! Tks a lot!
I wonder how close the tone would be through an frfr and out to foh.. it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for I will be adding it tomorrow and maybe build a scene with it.. thanks for awesome work!
This guy got. Boss katana to sound like a real Marshall valve amp. So I no longer trust these videos
Great work !
Your tones are phenomenal! Can you please get some more patches going? Also some more QC vids would be awesome!
Love my QC and the plexi amp!
Sounds killer, Paul! I am loving my QC???? I downloaded this patch earlier but haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but I’m excited!
Could you please explain how to connect strymons timeline and bigsky using fx loop?
Fantastic sound there mate, I've only had the QC for a few days but that rig is going straight onto it, subscribed and thanks
This right here helped me set up my quad when I first got it. You sound awesome. Your playing always is. Goes without saying.
Great sound and playing what monitoring are you using ?
Magic piece of gear
What are you playing thru?
That tone was perfect
Absolutely dope vid. I want this unit especially for these kind of tones.
The best Marshall sounding demo of the Quad Cortex. Can't wait to get mine.
My kind of sounds finally a video.. that makes sense I just purchased the quad cortex and I’ll be adding this first! Could you recommend A proper cabinet /Powered speakers
To play through live.. I was going to buy a Marshall JVM until I found this blows my mind any other advice is welcome thanks great video Good ear..bud cheers
What type of monitor are you using? It would be nice if you could make a video of different set up for life and home use ,I really enjoy your channel ,ps I just got my qc and having trouble dealing some God tone ,probably is because I using head rush 108 frfr in a room inviorment. Any advice would be appreciated thanks again your tips ????
That was a much appreciated run through, will definitely be looking for your patches when I get my QC!
palm mutes sound very accurate. im sold. dead note scrapes remind me of slash.
I was considering a unit like this but it’s far too complex for my needs. Think i’ll stick to pedals.
