How did you not get one!?
Thanks so much for tuning in guys! I hope you're as hyped as I am! Those who are getting one of these bad boys... you will NOT be disappointed! Honestly this is my first real outing with a modeller. I've used other stuff in the past but this is the first opportunity to deep dive with it and learn what modelling is all about. It's VERY different to dialling in an amp, and I had to learn that before I realised how incredible this device is. not just for the modelling, but all the other bells and whistles.... I can totally see how guys like Misha, Plini, Meshuggah and all those guys use modellers for their tones. Colour me impressed! I tried to show off the fact that QC is capable on any tones. I love the strat tones I’ve achieved and the rest sound awesome! Hope you enjoy the different tones I've dialled in. I'm only scratching the surface in this video but there's plenty more to come! Let me know what you guys think of the tones you heard below!

I think Rabea has possibly one the most distinct pick tones. No matter what he plays, the hear the smooth edge of a thick pick. Almost like the old thick shiny purple plastic Dunlops.

My eyes rolled back into my head with the lead tone
Incredible. All the tones are stellar! Your playing...just wow.
This magic box leaves me speechless! Besides your playing, Bea! Lovin it!
I could listen to your guitar playing forever! I love it! The tone with that strat is absolutely amazing! I never have any of mine tuned in Eb but it's absolutely wonderful!
Already excited for Grinding Gears, Vol. 4
Fantastic video Rabea! I preordered this some time early last year (well it feels that long ago)...and this makes me feel very relieved and super excited. I really appreciate your comments on the "feel thing" as that is very important. That strat sounded so killer too! Way to go!! Thank you.
This is so sick! Your playing makes it absolutely insane!
God that Jerry Cantrell patch sounds so frickin good. Especially the little “Man in the Box” riff.
Your heavy baritone riffs were jaw dropping, wow!!! Serious head banging here!! Awesome demo with various styles, I enjoyed this a lot!!
Ok, this video is ridiculous. I can't get enough of your playing.

You are definitely my fav guitarist you never cease to satisfy with your riffs
Bea, the vibe in your gear room is goals... 100%.
wow. thank you Rabea. Finally a proper demo from someone who actually gets it. Great cleans, edge of breakup, ambience, heavy tones. Not just blues soloing or metal the whole time. More of this please!

Amazing tones and killer device! Great video Rabea!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Three videos so far all reveal that this hits it out of the park. Sounds alive, no awful harsh overtones, really amazing. Thank you!
15:21 though... man I FELT THAT! Rabea, love you’re style of playing. 🎸
Wow, I really enjoyed the baritone ambient patch! I'm glad you mentioned the amp feel. That's exactly what has me considering the newest modelers.
Necromangust! I am sold! Thanx Bea, amazing device and presentation!
Great Review Rabea, as always! That Fender tone is very sweeet!
That high gain tones sounds JUICY. Wow. Such inspiring tone to play with.
was waiting for this vid, im not disappointed , it sounds good, great demo, thank you
So much respect for this man....For all the videos....For all the inspiration over the years. A man on his own path.
That toxic synth preset...immmmmennnnnnnnseeeeeee!! Fantastic playing man, I get hypnotized listening to you haha!
Most exciting demo I’ve ever seen! Brilliant playing, brilliant product! Loved the strat settings so will be spending time in that preset when the box arrives. But the toxic synth... oh wow
Amazing sounds. We're living in the best times for digital modelling.
God-damn. That intro was amazing.... no idea how they got those sounds. Geez... could you imagine opening a gig with that and then going into something really groovy and heavy? It would be amazing. Well done Rabea. Awesome video. There's a lot of chat amongst modeller fans about aliasing and how the other modellers are better but everything I've heard from this thing has been very close to my experience of using real amps in the wild. Really looking forward to getting hold of one.
Killer Rabea ..Fully excited about this. Great breakdown !!!
Great video, can't wait to get my hands on the Quad Cortex! Your guitars look amazing as well!
Cheers from Texas! Love love Yooooo!! Capturing.... Gigging, recording, jamming etc without swapping amps etc wow man!! Brilliant demo! Thanks for the enlightenment lol
Between you and Pete Thorn's vid, just WOW!!! Great stuff gentlemen, great stuff.
This might be the greatest demo of anything I've ever heard. Damn 🔥👌🎶
stoked to jump on this. appreciate the quick in depth video
I’ve been waiting for your video on this thing forever and Im super impressed, but DAMN that Mayones is gorgeous!
Thank you ! At last a video that doesn’t only demonstrate heavily distorted “recto” type sounds. Clean tones and “edge of breakup” tones are more telling to the ear. This unit sounds GREAT. 👍🏻
Great video as always! You are an amazing guitarist, but always down to earth and humble. It’s a pleasure to watch your work(and I’m not a metal guy😉)!
Ok Neural DSP get me my Tier 1 Pre-order!!!! I am soooo ready now. Thanks for the awesome video Radea. Looking forward to many more.
Great demo- nice to hear some clean tones- cant wait for mine!
My God that best preset ever....was soo magical and holy moly taken away by the playing as well! SOLD ME ON THIS I NEED IT NAOOOOOO! GOOD JOB Rabea! you inspirational!
i can not wait!!! awesome demo intro Rabea
Insanity to the absolute max - thanks Bea completely awesome as usual
I really enjoyed the strat tones. Thanks for the video!!!
Very beautiful melodies, man. You are so good. Necro... something sounding killer
Ordered mine a few weeks ago! I`m currently rocking an Axe-Fx III, can`t wait to compare both units! Love your vids man, keep it up!
I’ve been waiting so patiently for this vid! 😂
One of the best modern guitarist.
The best preset ever had some serious Pink Floyd vibes. Love it, sounded absolute killer! Great playing as usual Rabea!
Beautiful playing as usual dude, unit sounds great!
I watched the whole video with my mouth open. Fantastic demo!
Sounds amazing, great vid as always Bea, i was looking at the Synergys, but i think i’d be more leaning towards this now
thanks for the deep dive, this unit is mind blowing, amazing new features especially that Synth Preset and artificial free Pitch Shift sets a new industry reference
as always... such a sick demo... nice work Bea... Cheers...
Solo at the start was really cool, reminded me of Rainbow era Richie Blackmore 👍
Pre-ordered a QC three weeks ago, this is the video I've been waiting for...
Every time I hear you noodle I get inspired. Great review too!
It took me all of six seconds to hit the like button on this. Bea!! That intro was siiiiick 😮😮🤘🤘
Incredibly tasty playing (as always) and awesome sound. I have already ordered one before chrismas. Now I hardly can´t wait to get it.
You are a very good guitarist and I love the way you try effects. This multi-effects pedal is amazing and has beautiful sounds. obviously in your hands and all so magical because you are a true master
This video is the reason I bought one.. cheers Rabea’.. absolutely awesome
Such good playing over those chord changes
I was super impressed with those strat tones
I can’t tell you how many times I had to restrain myself from buying the Helix, but this thing? Man!! The strat sound was epic! Thanks mate for the demo.
That strat clean tone is heavenly. M getting one fr sure.
"Jerry Can't Tell"! That's so clever. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these units!
Beautiful tones and playing
I have been waiting for THIS review!!
Nice Job! ... Love the facial expressions!
Love it man!!!🔥 Can't wait for March to finally get mine 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Sheeeeesh that toxic synth preset is the ultimate mood music. I could listen to that for hours

Somehow I've gone a few months without hearing Rabea play, and it seems in the meantime he's gotten even more innovative and musical. My goodness what talent.
Love the review! Good job. Thanx Bea!!!
Bea...this rewiew it's awesome. Great Great work, my hype is a +10
Thank you for the clean tones tested here! Cheers mate!
love your strat presets - awesome insights thanks
Finally we have more sound from the fx section ! ... Insane :)
Awesome... no words to describe how good that sounds... can't wait for more :-D
I think what Neural does really well, is software. A good sound has already been there for a while, but think in terms of features how much Neural has brought to the table in such a short time: - Mobile app to connect over wifi - Out of the box sharing of rigs - Touch screen - Very intuitive UI - Neural capture of amps and pedals And not to mention that the hardware innovation behind the rotary switches ( even tho this also has some implications, think of repair costs if you actually break one ), are solving one problem that other's have struggled to solved: Being able to easily tinker with knobs on all your blocks. You have to also appreciate the mastermind behind the marketing strategy. At this point, it doesn't even matter if the cortex doesn't sound as good as the Axe FX or Kemper. People will just buy it because they are seeing their favorite artists hyping them up. Great job Neural! Looking forward to the software updates you guys will surely provide to this monster. Edit: Forgot to mention Adam Nolly "Getgood" being involved in this company. This is someone with extensive knowledge in the industry about how things are supposed to feel and sound, pouring their knowledge into making this product better.
Freakin awesome. I enjoyed this video and your tunes.
Ok, best QC demo EVER. Jaw dropping.
Oh man! I can’t wait to play with your presets!
Those Strat tones...!!! Amazing!
Magic starts from 14:39 )) What an awesome video! The future is now, lol! Can't wait for Your captures!
Finally a good overview of the tones! Now I might buy get one...
Of course it is hard to tell unless you have it in your own hands but that sounded fantastic. I really liked the way you did the whole video. I am tier 2 and your comment about the feel really has me exited to try this. Thanks
Super stoked that they do pitchshifting - Was the main reason why I've stuck with the Axe Fx II for so long.
Toxic Sun is by FAR the best preset ever made and 1 of the greatest sounds or tones ever created. Loved your soloing with it.
Dayumn! Grimacemonger sounds like a ton! Of fun!
LOVE IT!! and till the next one..Peace Rabea
