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

- DEPTH

- RESONANCE

- BRIGHT

- OUTPUT

- 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.
