Dialing in the perfect guitar tone takes years of expertise. Cortex Studio puts an AI audio engineer in your pocket.

Type "Slash GNR metal cranked through Marshall amps" or "David Gilmour Comfortably Numb solo" and the AI delivers every setting you need—instantly. Describe any sound: an artist, a song, a decade, a genre, or just a vibe. Cortex Studio generates: • The exact Quad Cortex amp model to use • Gain, bass, mid, treble, presence, and master settings • A full signal chain with every effect in the right order • Cabinet model, mic type, and mic position MIDI CONTROL • Connect your Quad Cortex via USB and send Program Change messages directly from the app. Build your tone on the QC, save it to My Presets, and recall it with one tap—no menu diving, no footswitch gymnastics.
