Ugh, thank you for making a video with pedals going into this unit. Every metal/blues/box store presenter is just only using it as a unit and it obv. looks like it is trying to be a part of a pedal board. Subscribed.
Great demo. Agreed on placing wet fx after the Nano Cortex. I placed a Keeley Halo before the Nano Cortex and it just sounded horrible, especially with crunch or distortion captures it resulted in really nasty breakups. Kinda makes the onboard audio interface unusable, but now I am running the stereo outputs on the Nano in the Halo and from there to a Mackie Profx6v3+.
That guitar is one of most gorgeous I've seen soundwise. I wonder which one is it, I've checked on Iconic but can't find it anywhere, I am guessing this is a custom one?
Great vid. Wondering why you wanted to add two analog delays to the board when the Nano Cortex has an analog-style delay built in? I'm debating having the Nano as my only delay (and reverb?), so wondering if you think that will cut it.
now that there's the app amp control, who needs a full sized QC? thanks for the great video!! as always, on point and amazing tones! love your content!!
@@JoshuaDeLaVictoria but definitely you can capture 4 preset of your pedalboard and get some final touches there, don't you? it would replace the pedalboard in most cases IMO, anyway huge fan of your work josh! waiting for more solo singles
This is a really interesting way for neural to break into the budget market. It is put into a really interesting place in the market by both the features it has and the features it lacks. Lots of people critique the sole use of captures but I know plenty of players whose entire rigs are based similarly on worship tutorials' captures. Either way it sounds sick and makes for an interesting signal chain.
Yeah I’ve read lots of comments on the Neural NC vids. IMO this is competing with something like a Strymon Iridium or UA amp pedals, but with thousands of amps people have already captured + some extra effects. I’ve seen plenty of boards with multiple UA amp pedals, and 2 of those already costs more than this unit.
@@JoshuaDeLaVictoria Yeah I can definitely see that. People who are into pedals and what not are fine having a collection of all kinds of niche products, what's one more cool one?.. For anyone wanting a cheaper quad cortex, there are plenty of great options. That's a major reason I picked up the FM3 this year.
I was kind of like "here comes the time I say goodbye to my HX stomp", but the lack of an FX loop kind of ruins it for my usual signal routing. Still it's good to see them put more hardware out, showing they are serious about it despite the many unfounded criticisms towards the Cortex
I just have it placed before my wet fx, but I hear where you’re coming from. Being able to use all my captures + cortex cloud captures is really the selling point for me. It also easily integrates with my pedalboard, which I’ve been really wanting to use again.
You could keep the stomp and run this in the stomps FX loop, that's likely what I'm going to do, use this as an amp + cab, maybe overdrive and use stomp as overdrive/compression and modulation delay reverb etc
@@JoshuaDeLaVictoriawell wet fx into an amp capture is what gives a lot of people their tone and saturation. You'd have to run a compressor Post FX to try and simulate that, but I imagine it would be weird anhway.
@@spawn302hmmm I don’t think I agree. Most people run wet effects after an amp block/capture. When running an amp with any gain, you’d want wet fx (reverbs and delays) afterwards. Unless you’re going for a distorted reverb sound
@@JoshuaDeLaVictoria I actually think this is very split in half. Most people I hear from that play live, want the wet effects straight into their amps, while recording at home or studio having wet effects post amp is the standard.
Is that just like a regular laptop stand that you have the QC sitting on? I just got one last week and I hate it sitting flat on my desk. I want better access to the screen
Great vid and very nice new board! Do you find the NC outputs clip the inputs of your mako d1/r1 when place after it in the signal chain? (In my experience the D1/R1 don’t take line level well in the QC effects loop without adjusting down to instrument level volume). Sounded like there was a bit of clipping of the delay/reverb when you turned the D1/R1 on. Just curious if this has been an issue for you with the new board, or if you have found a work around? Love your videos btw!
Of all the features they decided to keep from the QC , they kept the capture feature . This is the least used feature in my qc . I think they dropped the ball
yeah if they dropped a nano QC with the modeling and just had you pair to a tablet or phone we would all be saying 'helix who? axfx and kemper who? headrush what?" literally 500$ flat and you PRINT MONEY
here for the visuals as much as the playing! Beautiful stuff dude
Dude, just the basic tone was freaking awesome already! Awesome !!!

Totally agree. It’s sized that way for a reason!
love the fuzz + halcyon combo! def an eric johnson vibe
amazing tones man
Great product shots OMG
I think this is the best way of using the nano cortex.
It seems that needs to be part of a board with other effects to get the most out of it. Which makes Tonex look like a better option
He has the (one big) box! 📦
Great video. This will be my use case as well, so thank you for making this. Nice playing, too.
nice tones man!

Hi, Thanks for this nice video. Can you list in the comments all the effects you'r using with the nano cortex ?
Thanks!!!!!

To me it feels like a different thing. This is much more a pedalboard companion while the QC would replace this whole board. Thanks!

@@JoshuaDeLaVictoria thanks I see it now! I appreciate you replying to these comments!! your one of my favorite musicians!
5:17 veo q tomas mates 🧉 excelente saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷🧉
Nano Cortex needs a tap tempo! Hopefully in a future update? Great video, brother!
ooh good point, no tap tempo?
Omg that's a mate? 🧉 I'm argentinian and things like that impress me and make me happy haha, enjoy it. Also very good pedalboard 😊
I’ve been addicted to it haha. Coffee in the morning + mate in the afternoon 🧉
Thanks!
@@JoshuaDeLaVictoria that´s the best combo!

the Mate-board!
Love this! What is the thought process of running the NC in the middle of your dry and wet pedals and not at the end?
Hey! cool video and demo!, I´m considering to buy one, Are you using the nanocortex between OD / FX section?
Is that just like a regular laptop stand that you have the QC sitting on? I just got one last week and I hate it sitting flat on my desk. I want better access to the screen
It’s just a random laptop stand I bought on Amazon!
thanks great video, what guitar are you playing, its beautiful
Sweet! Can you run 2 different amps on the nano?
Not at the same time, just one capture(amp) at a time.
Great vid and very nice new board! Do you find the NC outputs clip the inputs of your mako d1/r1 when place after it in the signal chain? (In my experience the D1/R1 don’t take line level well in the QC effects loop without adjusting down to instrument level volume).

Love your videos btw!
what did you run into after the delay and reverb? A DI? straight into your DAW? Or FRFR?
Can send link for mic stand
what chair do you use? looks super ergo and no handles getting in the way!
what's the intro music?
so what we are hearing is direct out from the nano cortex to daw?
Cool, thanks for the video. Does the pedal have midi?
yes, via TRS jack
Great Video!!!! Thank you..
what's the name of the song on this video???
What are your thoughts on having the wet effects after the Nano Cortex? Did you like it, or did using the internal delays and reverbs feel better?
The internal delay and reverb sounds great, but I prefer to have all the control an external pedal gives me. Right now I’m using a combo of both
Cool video. Is that a stereo TRS input on the unit or just a mono job?
It's mono in, stereo out (MISO)
bro so many pedals how do you get them 😭😂 love your work bro !!
Years of buying and selling! I was also fortunate enough to have some of these sent to me. Thank you!
Can you use a looper pedal with this?
Yeah definitely. I’d probably put one after this in the signal chain
you need a longer microphone
I feel that
😂
😂😂😂
would've been nice in stereo :(
We should take bets that the Nano has a built in paywall you find out about 6-12 months from now.
Paywall? What do you mean? Why would there be??
@@maaqihs5474 That's the point of betting, no one knows for sure...
I want a review of that Mate Cup and pour method.
Man you drink mate ... viva argentina ... hermoso aparato y muy buen setup
Of all the features they decided to keep from the QC , they kept the capture feature . This is the least used feature in my qc . I think they dropped the ball
yeah if they dropped a nano QC with the modeling and just had you pair to a tablet or phone we would all be saying 'helix who? axfx and kemper who? headrush what?" literally 500$ flat and you PRINT MONEY
sorry for the million questions; but what brand/size pedalaboard is it?
Mate!
Hi Joshua i'm from Argentina, are you drinking Mate???? Great video!
wow very small
The best pedalboards are usually owned by guys with nothing to say musically, often church guys.
"I play for 20 minutes on a Sunday morning, cover songs, and I buy all the newest shit."
Dude Is that Mate?
MATE??
Don’t waste your time with this product
Lol. No screen, no fx loop can't even change the order of the effects and they want 550 dollars for this?
Who even asked for this?
Joke.
