Da HELIX FLOOR a QUAD CORTEX MINI: tutto quello che avrei voluto sapere prima!

Did I make a mistake buying the Quad Cortex Mini? After attending the presentation of Neural DSP's new Quad Cortex Mini at NAMM 2026, I decided to pair this new machine with my trusty Line 6 Helix to see if it really lived up to expectations. I expected a smooth transition, but the reality was very different. In the first few months of use, I encountered several issues, doubts, and inevitable comparisons with the Helix I'd been using for years. After taking the Quad Cortex Mini both live and in the studio, I finally developed a complete opinion of this machine. In this video, you'll find my full review of the Quad Cortex Mini, with all the pros and cons I encountered in real-world use, a comparison with the Line 6 Helix, and considerations that might help you decide if the Quad Cortex Mini is truly the right modeler for you. 👇 Let me know in the comments what you think or if you have any specific questions!
