OPUS | Feature Rundown

Introducing OPUS, an end-to-end tone shaping Amp Simulator and DynIR™ Engine ushering-in the next milestone-evolution of the Two notes ecosystem. Building upon the C.A.B. lineage - and our critically- acclaimed digital cabinet simulation legacy - OPUS adds Pre- & Power-amp Tube-Stage Modeling™ (TSM™), MIDI integration and a future-proofed USB-C specification, empowering players of all- walks with apex-level tone in a go-anywhere footprint.
In this video, we take a deep dive into the feature set available in our latest addition to the Two notes "Go Direct" arsenal.

I own it, it’s worth it. It brought my tube amp back to life. So many options internally, and externally. It does everything an OX does but it’s like 1/6s of the cost. Im running a line in, into my rock crusher and DI out into my interface so I can use headphones. It gives almost no excuse to purchase anything else once you get this! lol Sounds amazing.

I think that it wouldn’t be a huge jump to expand this physically and digitally into a fully fledged effects and amp modelling solution to compete with Neural/Fractal/Line 6/Boss flagship models. (It would obviously be a huge jump I know😅). I think there would be a case to be a contender in this market.

[@TwoNotestv]

Well, we will never say never! :)

[@compucat]

Neat product! A few questions: - The CAB M hardware suffered from poor PSU decoupling; noise from both the external PSU and the onboard OLED driver would couple into the audio output. How has the power topology been reworked for Opus? - Similarly, the CAB M's aux input raises the output noise floor by a nontrivial amount unless it is manually muted. Has the aux input noise performance been improved in Opus? - Do you plan to backport features at all to the CAB M hardware, or will there be no further updates? The first point in particular is my major gripe with CAB M; it's such a lovely tool otherwise.

[@RossDaviesTwoNotes]

Thanks for getting in touch - Ross from Two notes here. The entire input architecture has been reworked with OPUS as we now have high gains amps which inherently raise / amplify the noise floor - as such, noise within the unit has been significantly improved. Although both units share a similar chassis, on the inside it is a very different story. In order to accomodate the higher gain preamps included in OPUS, an extensive overhaul of the existing C.A.B. M+ architecture was required. As such, we cant offer an update for the C.A.B. M+. Please bear in mind, we are committed to supporting our legacy products and will continue to release all necessary updates to ensure longevity of C.A.B. M+ - not to mention on-going DynIR releases so you have a cascade of fresh tones to play with! Let us know if you have any other questions concerning OPUS and we will gladly weigh in!

[@Gehirnwelle]

why don't you add delay before reverb so that the signal chain would be logical and complete plus that will give you a step ahead over uad !

[@RossDaviesTwoNotes]

Thanks for getting in touch, Ross from Two notes here. Currently the OPUS architecture cannot support delay at this stage - the only way of adding this to the signal chain currently is via front- or rear-loading OPUS with an external delay device. Regardless we have relayed your feedback to our development for consideration!

[@kennyp54]

I would need to use a DI box when using time based effects post Opus thereby rendering the onboard XLR out useless. That's a big omission and a deal breaker for me.

I have an original Torpedo C.A.B. which I really like. I'd have a few questions about the opus pedal: - Could you please point out the key changes from the previous iterations of the product (Torpedo C.A.B. / C.A.B. M+) - How does backwarts compatibility to Torpedo C.A.B. work? Can I import my old presets? - I only saw MIDI In, no MIDI out. Any plans to provide MIDI out on future versions of the Opus (like there were present on the Torpedo C.A.B)? - the Torpedo C.A.B.'s display had some flaws where the text was not readable when the letters were moving on the screen. Has this somehow been improved? - while the Torpedo C.A.B. had the option to also control e.g. EQ parameters via a MIDI expression pedal, it practically wasn't usable due to an audible rattling noise from the speakers when changing such parameters while playing. has this somehow been improved on the Opus? - How does the long term support look on the Opus? For how long are software/firmware updates guaranteed? Thanks

[@BradPham]

I've asked this question on Michael Nielson's channel but haven't heard back yet: as a pure cab sim between a real head & a real cab or load box, is there any more juice under the hood than the cab m+? The processing specs look the same.

[@RossDaviesTwoNotes]

Thanks for getting in touch and a great question. In terms of processing for this setup configuration, the specifications are similar to C.A.B. M+.

[@metalmover]

Granted, it’s nice to have amps, but you don’t leave the user with the option to break in after the amps and put wet effects. I figure the reason to replace my cab m+ is MIDI. MIDI is something I’ve wanted but over time of owning the cab m plus, I craved it less and less. I only use my cab m plus on my amp coming out of my torpedo attenuator. Using the amp eventually moved the cab m plus off my board and onto a shelf on top of my amp….full time there….only used for cab sim for gigs where I can send to house. I like this opus for MIDI….don’t know if it’s worth the upgrade (I’ll probably buy though)

[@groovinonfunk]

Is it possible to add 2 cabs to one preset? For example, having a 4x10 on top of a 1x15... or can it just be one cab per setting?

Hi, I just got the Opus and gigged it for the first time yesterday. It sounded pretty (actually quite unbelievably) amazing for a first try, sending the signal straight to the PA. Now I'm a bit of a noob in this realm, so here's my question: I would like to be able to use a simple midi controller to bank up and down my presets, to use it sort of as a channel switcher. I thought I would simply get a small, two button 'pedal' (left button to bank up, right button to bank down). Which midi-controller would you recommend I should use for that purpose? Thanks in advance.

[@RossDaviesTwoNotes]

Thanks so much for getting in touch. We can advise on this for sure! The Tech 21 MIDI Mouse might be the best solution for simply banking up and down presets. We are so pleased to hear this is working out well for you and thanks for the fantastic feedback!
