Špičkový zvuk, skvělé zpracování, kompaktní rozměry, přehledný software. Pro mě, jakožto pro hráče, který používá vesměs tři kytarové zvuky a hledá jednoduché, spolehlivé řešení pro kluby, kde nemůžu vzít velkou plexinu ideální volba.

Zvukově je nano cortex nadstandardní, simulace jsou opravdu velmi dobré. Bohužel výrobce nano cortex degradoval tím, že pro připojení se k němu přes bluetooth, například telefonem nebo tabletem, potřebujete i připojení k internetu a dostupnost jejich cloudu. V případě, že jste bez připojení k internetu, tak se nepřipojíte ani k nano cortexu. Nastavovat některé věci je možné jen přes telefon nebo tablet. Další problém je častá ztráta komunikace s nano cortexem, potom je nutné znovu obnovovat spojení a někdy i restartovat nano cortex.

Po update 2.1 to pre mňa začalo mať zmysel. Perfektne premyslený funkčný dizajn. Mobilná appka je veľmi prehladná. Nie je to náhrada Quad Cortexu, ani by sa to nemalo porovnávať, je to úplne iná kategória. Dlho som si ho obzeral vo "výklade" až som si ho nakoniec kúpil.

After the 2.1 update it started to make sense to me. Perfectly thought out functional design. The mobile app is very slick. It's not a Quad Cortex replacement, nor should it be compared, it's in a completely different category. I looked at it in the "window" for a long time until I finally bought it.

A szoftverfrissítésekkel egy igazán használható eszköz lett. Kár hogy nincs több neural capture blokk, így vagy erősítőt modellez, vagy torziópedálnak használható az egy darab blokk. Pedig vannak nagyon jól modellezett drive pedálok amik így nem köthetők be erősítő modell elé.

Software updates have made it a really useful tool. Too bad there are no more neural capture blocks, so you can either model an amplifier or use the one block as a torsion pedal. But there are some very well modelled drive pedals that can't be connected in front of an amplifier model.
