1. INPUT 2/CAPTURE INPUT
   Combo XLR and 1/4" TRS input with dedicated level control and phantom power. Plug your instrument or microphone here. This input is also used for creating Neural Captures.
2. INPUT 1
   1/4" TS input for plugging in your instrument.
3. DUAL EFFECTS LOOPS
   SEND 1/2 and RETURN 1/2 each use a shared 1/4" TRS. Use a standard TRS cable for Loop 1, or a TRS insert cable (TRS to dual TS) to access both FX Loops.

1. EXPRESSION INPUT
   1/4" TRS input for connecting an expression pedal to control parameters like volume, wah, pitch, or effects in real time. A second expression input is available via MIDI.
2. XLR OUTPUTS
   Two mono, balanced XLR outputs.
3. MIDI IN & OUT/THRU
   1/8" TRS MIDI Type-A for receiving and sending MIDI messages to automate switching and supported parameter control, or to control other MIDI devices.

1. USB-C
   Connect to your computer and use Quad Cortex mini as a multichannel (8 in / 8 out) USB audio interface for recording and re-amping.
2. HEADPHONES OUTPUT
   1/8" TRS headphones output for silent practice and monitoring.
3. POWER SWITCH
   Mechanical power switch.

1. TS OUTPUTS
   Two 1/4" TS outputs for flexible routing.
2. CAPTURE OUTPUT
   Dedicated output for creating Neural Captures.
3. POWER INPUT
   12 V DC, 1.2 A, center-negative power input with locking 2.1 / 5.5 mm DC connector. Power supply included, with a non-locking adapter for compatibility with standard pedalboard power supplies. Power-on behavior can be set to automatic power-up when connected, or manual power-up using the power switch.
