In this week’s episode, I sit down with the co-founders of Neural DSP, Doug Castro and Francisco Cresp.
For those who aren’t aware, Neural DSP manufactures the highly regarded Quad Cortex amplifier modeler as well as a line of modeling plugins.
Even though Neural DSP is located in Finland, both Doug and Francisco are from Chile. They fell in love with the country and its music as high school exchange students and decided to relocate to Finland after school.
After Doug developed the Darkglass bass pedals which he eventually sold to Korg, he and Francisco created Neural DSP with the idea of developing state-of-the-art amplifier simulator tools.
In this episode, they will be sharing with us how they founded Neural DSP, why they decided to focus on plugins before the hardware when founding their company, what sets them apart from their competitors, and more.
Are you ready?
Let’s dive in.

Wena wena !!
Are we going to see a smaller amp only cortex that is a lower price?
Enhorabuena, se merecen todo lo que han conseguido, que no es poco.
Great interview
Such legends!!
Hi guys. I guess many musicians are wondering whether or not Quad Cortex will be released as a rack mounted version. Anyway I am at least one of them wishing to see such version on the market. God bless you guys. Wishing all well.
Such inspiring young talented people. They have had much luck. But again luck follows creative and talented individuals. I am so impressed by the technology implemented in your products guys. Just keep up doing the good job. You probably deliver the best products currently available on the market. Saluto guys!!! ????
Awesome to hear the QC will be getting a synth block.
LE: QC works pretty darn good for vocal chains. We use it to run 2 guitars & a vocal lane. Drop a Transpose block on the vocal lane, bind it to an expression pedal and have some fun.
