This is the AIRSTEP Cortex Edition from XSONIC, and it’s a really slick way to control the Neural DSP Nano Cortex over Bluetooth. For me the big win is Scene Mode—staying on one preset while switching effect combinations—plus simple stuff like quick access to the tuner.

Pros

+Bluetooth connection to Nano Cortex is quick and easy
+Scene Mode adds a lot more tonal flexibility without changing presets
+Lets you engage/disengage effects and access tuner via long-press
+Claimed long battery life (around 300 hours)

Cons

-Function knob on the back wasn’t assigned yet (at least in my testing)
