Why The NANO Cortex Is A HUGE DEAL

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Yes. The leaks were real. It’s here. Check out the Nano Cortex here: ndsp.co/keyan_nc

[@Solaxer]

Big Neural fan but this is kinda cooked not gonna lie. Product has a LOT of limitations not mentioned in the video, also feels pretty advertise-y, like it’s really obvious you’re reading off a list of features their marketing department told you to hit in an email. I understand it’s sponsored content but still.

[@johnsierramusic]

why is it crooked? I def see who can use this (me) - and for the price (1/4 of QC), it is pretty incredible. I use Neural for their tone / feel of emulations; IMO, no other modeling software nails an amp like they can.

[@celsoyh]

That's obvious. That's how marketing works. He is paid for it, he wouldn't say it is not worth it. lol

[@johnsierramusic]

@@celsoyh lol. then why expect anything different? what he (Keyan) highlighted def shows value to a market segment that I'm in: acoustic-based artist that is an electric player as well. I want the QC, but it's not at the top of my priority list budget-wise; but, this nano fits the bill of what I need for my rig, for the right price.

[@BHPOfficial]

@@johnsierramusiche said “cooked” btw but I think the major issue is no compressor, only one of each effect. Really capture focused but not as feature robust. For example only one channel even though it has two inputs. Why can’t we use capture input as a second input when we aren’t capturing?

It’s exactly like a Quad Cortex! Except it doesn’t have a screen, or amp modeling, or plugins, or customizable signal chain, or a drive block, or different effects for each type of block, and can only hold 5 IRs. But I swear it’s exactly like a Quad Cortex.

[@tiomkinnyborg2289]

'Game Changer', 'small size', 'no screen', 'I've ordered 5'. Every time crap comes out the chorus of shills wakes up to defend a sawn-off product. It is the bestest evar, until the next pile arrives. Limited functionality, colored lights, check. No screen, check. Wait 3 months for a real review when people dare say how restricted it is to use. Then on the to the next new turd. 'take my money...' Remember this is just MY opinion having seen the garbage released and defended by the shills.

[@incongruous4]

There are very little to no real reviews on youtube. It's all paid promotional videos where the company pays the youtuber to advertise the product to generate sales. Having a youtuber promote products will trick people into thinking this isn't an advertisement but an honest opinion on a product he somehow magically acquired. It's the new hip way to run commercials.

[@reptilianaliengamedev3612]

I Just don't get the point of this thing at the price point still way too expensive. Plus for less than half the price you can buy a multieffect tube amp for 200 to 250 that will blow this out the water. I just bought a Line 6 Spider Valve 40 watts with v30 in it for 200 at guitar center and there are Peavey Vypyr for like 250. You can buy both of these amps and still end up cheaper and have money to buy a creamback or v30 or whatever for the Vypyr, but honestly you can leave that speaker and run the v30 from the spider valve cab and have the v30 for both amps. You could also buy both there pedals and both amps and it cost about the same.

I’m actually glad they chose not to because it would have just been an HX stomp without a screen. At least this way, you’re not limited by the models NDSP choose to put on the device like with the Stomp.

More features, same quality, comparable price, not as purely capture-focused, and I don't have to mess around with dialing tones etc on my damn phone...

Thanks for doing this video. I play live in a band a lot. I currently use a Strymon iridium with loads of pedals it sounds great but it’s a messy look. I want to simplify. I always kept my live rig and studio rig separate using Neural DSP Nolly and now the free Nolly X. I love Neural DSP. So my plan is to take my Mac mini and use it live with NollyX and use a stream deck pedal. I will have an IPad as a screen. A small audio interface with a stereo di box or two mono di boxes. Compact rig on the go. This looks great but I want to try my solution for bringing my studio rig out live. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video! Like you say hey you do what you do and I will do what I will do. I got my plan let’s see if I can make it happen.

[@cant_pickausername]

So the way I see it is that you can use it to either capture your own signal chain at home, then you could just have a portable pedalboard version of the exact tone you're used to, or being able to use Neural plugins without taking up as much pedalboard space as the quad, at the cost of maybe not having as much ability to tweak specifics of tone? For me its actually perfect as someone who prefers real amps for recording but wouldnt want to deal with them live, but I can see why this would be underwhelming for someone who already uses neural plugins or has a quad cortex

[@Onemanband410899]

6:34 Different companies have handled gapless preset switching different ways, so I’m curious what NDSP’s solution was. Headrush used to just use a generic delay and reverb spillover to mask the change, Helix you sacrifice one of your DSP paths to have true gapless switching, and I have no idea how Kemper or Fractal implemented it.

It doesn’t have amp models, that’s how.

I mainly want it to capture my amps and amps that come through for review but I have my own drive pedals, reverb, chorus and delays but I do wish they’d have made it so we could use a 2 button TRS switch to toggle delay and chorus or set the switch on the right to toggle one of those effects on/off.

I think a major difference between the Kemper Player and the Nano is that you can’t actually capture gear with the Kemper Player, it’s just able to load and play them. This is contrasted to the Nano, where you CAN capture gear directly onto it. Even so, the Nano is still $150 USD cheaper at the moment, but may lack some features that the Kemper Player offers. It really just depends on what your use case is and what you value more in your rig I suppose!

I like it. If I want to run amp models I just turn this off and fire up the Fractal.

[@Oakyplays]

DAMN dude that's a tasty tone!

[@adilsonobelard9690]

another over price, no screen and no computar app

[@armaganbaklacii]

okay now the question is. why buy a 6 times more expensive version of this when you can get the same sound with the 6 times cheaper version?

[@PudWud1]

Doesn’t seem like this has amp modelling or plug in functionality. Only captures. Also way fewer blocks, less ability for tone routing, fewer effects possible, no screen, fewer foot switches for choosing presets etc.

@@armaganbaklacii the Nano and Quad are targeted towards completely difference markets and use cases. The Quad’s price difference is justified in the major differences of sheer processing power, extended routing options and physical capabilities. All those things would most likely be utilised to their full extend in a touring or dedicated studio environment. The Nano is a great solution for musicians and guitarists who don’t need to spend the extra money for all the features which the Quad has that they’ll rarely use, while also not missing out on any of the fidelity as both units use the host the same processes and therefore sound identical within the Nano’s limitations.

Why buy a Helix when you can get a Pod Go? They're fulfulling different needs for different customers.

You can’t control parameters via midi bruh

[@justinvzu01]

Just gonna say 8t, they just took the Kemper, made the interface better and the device way smaller.

[@florenttenryu5011]

I see a ToneX with a cheap app instead of the screen... Who wants to pay this price for cool knobs ? No neural plugin ? Almost no effects ? No modeling, no looper...?

[@roycekillz2404]

The Tone X pedal does not have anyway to capture amps.

There is no way i could afford a qc, i did get a tonex one and its fantastic. This though might get my money one day.

[@QuickSticks8771]

Once you buy a pedalboard power supply , all the pedals you want a QC seems like a bargain

[@happybenjful]

@QuickSticks8771 that's true but I'm old and have heaps of pedals. If I was starting out this would be the perfect bit of equipment to begin with.

[@QuickSticks8771]

@@happybenjful maybe, I’m not sure who this is for , if you have heaps of pedals like yourself then your not gonna need the limited effect this has and if your a beginner then there’s nowhere near enough available without having to buy more gear right away 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@QuickSticks8771]

If you already have A pedalboard and power supply, All the drive and fx pedals you want Monitor speakers and a mic, this will sound almost as good as the amp you already have!!
