Seems like a Kemper killer? Does captures in a small form factor. Also eats tonex’s lunch and arguably NAM players since it can all be done on the pedal.

I personally wish it did more than just captures but it does a lot in that price range imo. Also if a single uafx pedal is 399 and this is 549 that’s also decent in the grand scheme

Is it just chorus? The announce video said modulation. Can you not put other effects in that slot instead?

No sir

It doesn't come with a Power Supply?

Yeah I agree. Imo they did well enough but just a few tiny improvements (like adding variety to post effects and making a drive a pre effect) and this would have been a homerun imo

According to Sweetwater, it's sold separately.

Not sureNO . But, it can be USB powered!

Can Nano Cortex be powered via USB-C?
Yes. Nano Cortex can be powered via USB-C (5V-1.5A). Connect it to your computer or another USB-C compliant power source with the included USB-C cable.

But let's be real. This thing will probably be sold out by the end of the day. We are just grumpy people

Weird that there's only one reverb algorithm - and that it's Mind Hall?

I'm sure there will be updates and more will be coming... Ahem SOOOOOOOOOON

Honestly, this probably isn't for me, for previously mentioned reasons (app reliance). But for $550 that's effectively a baby Kemper, this is going to sell like fucking hotcakes. I actually think they did a pretty good job here.

Yep. Kemper Player should have been able to Profile and it would have been golden.

$549 and can capture from the device. Cool.

I actually trust Neural more than IK when it comes to the app not being a POS.

Big ole nope for me. Maybe if it had all the effects on it. And I’m not really sure why they committed to a BMT stack for captures, they all get artificial with too much tweaking. Should have embedded that into the app and then used those knobs for FX controls on a far wider range of FX. IMO.

Oh well. I still think for the price and the fact that it can capture, can’t complain too much. Maybe… lol

maybe they can add it as a paid upgrade. or firmware upgrade 10 years from now

Jack Gardiner has a good demo of the app.

Kemper Player is dead in the water now, for anyone that doesn't already own a bigger Kemper.

Game Changer. Ugh. I detest that term.

 

[Lysander]

I've lost count of how many times the Game Has Been Changed™ over the past couple years.
