That certainly seems pretty optimistic as a design, and would probably be hated for the cramped switches too.
Something more like the Hotone Ampero II Stomp might be possible with a larger touchscreen and 3 switches that act as encoders as well. That's still only slightly larger than the Boss GT-1000 Core or HX Stomp. About the same as a Strymon Bigsky or Volante, or half the QC if you rotate the pedal.
That would be a great product for NeuralDSP because it makes the entry to their ecosystem cheaper, which potentially leads to more people buying their plugins to expand the capabilities.
It's honestly weird how NeuralDSP has fumbled on business opportunities with their device. The Cortex Cloud is ripe for being a platform that sells professional captures and presets for a percentage cut like smartphone app stores, but it seems to be very quiet on that front.
Yes, that was just a mock up done by a customer
I just remember Doug commenting it was very cool and certainly in the future they would be looking at things like this
They had also trademarked several names before QC was even released “dual cortex” was one of those
Regarding the screen and number of encoders you are probably right , the easiest thing to do is re use the same screen from QC that they probably have a ton in stock
And if they are going after the HX Stomp , FM3 the 3 encoder option certainly places it in the same category
Basically like and Ampero mini w 3 switches or the Ampero stomp would make sense
I secretly would love if the had 5 or 6 switches like an Atomic but as you said space will make it cramped like the
Original QC
I am interested though , it has a lot more than the first time I had one , crap you could not even get auto engage on the wah .
Now there’s the editor , a bunch of improvements more amps fx , and the plug compatibility coming this June/July
