Quad Cortex features multiple device block types. Once you have added a block to The Grid, tap it to open its menu.

Footswitches will light up and correspond to any rotary controls on the block you’ve added. Parameters such as gain can be controlled either by rotating the footswitch or interacting with the multi-touch display.

Depending on the device selected, some controls could not appear and the type could change as well (i.e. the parameter could be a knob or a switch).

  • GAIN

Controls the amount of gain in the preamp section.

  • VOLUME

Controls the amount of volume in the preamp section.

  • BASS/MIDDLE/TREBLE

Tonestack of the amplifier. 3 band EQ.

  • MASTER

Adjust the amount of power amp gain. This parameter is highly interactive with all other amp parameters. The lower the Master is set, the less effect the other controls will have.

  • PRESENCE

Boosts the upper midrange and treble frequencies.

  • DEPTH

Boosts the lower midrange and bass frequencies.

  • RESONANCE

Boosts the bass frequencies.

  • BRIGHT

The treble is further enhanced with this switch. 

  • OUTPUT

Controls the overall volume of the amp.

  • SWITCHES

Many amps feature custom switches to control their unique parameters. Tap them to modify their value.

  • FINE CONTROL

Tap a knob value to set a custom value. Use the touch keyboard and tap "set" to save the changes. 

  • BYPASS

Bypasses the block entirely.
