One of the most impressive features of the Neural DSP Quad Cortex is its ability to capture the sonic essence and dynamic response of electric guitar amplifiers in greater detail than ever before. In this video, Guitar.com's Chief Editor Chris Vinnicombe puts this functionality to the test by attempting to replicate the ragged glory of Neil Young's Fender 5E3 Deluxe tones, and channel Jimi Hendrix using a 1967 Marshall Super Bass.

To record the mic'd up amp tones, we used an Audio-Technica AT4081 active ribbon mic and also took a DI signal, which was then reamped through captures created using the same mic placement.
