I dimed my Marshall 2550 (black Silver Jubilee) for the first time since I bought it in 1988. Yesterday. Straight to amp no pedals with hearing protection.😊 it was amazing and lush and needed nothing, but I can only imagine. So now I am looking at attenuation. I’ve been using positive grid through headphones and wonder if I can combine all these things with an interface and mini control. This seems to be the ticket.❤

Wait Tom I see a Waza and an Ox in your studio. We use twin Ox Boxes coupled with UA Apollo with our 19 tube amps in our Studio A and B. It’s great to see Torpedo combined their 2 technologies into one unit. We just got a Captor X and with UA plug ins it sounds fantastic. I think they did a fabulous job with the quality and wireless app for both Stage and studio. And as always your jazz fusion playing is gorgeous! God bless Rob

Been playing my Strymon Iridium at home, but really want to be playing through my 5e3. To really use a Tweed, you have to practice coaxing the tones out... If I had the money, I’d get a new amp that was more conventional, but I don’t. 😕 I do have a few high end pedals that aren’t getting love, that could finance the Captor X. It might be enough of a kick in the ass to make the leap into digital recording?

I would mirror what Rhett Schull said in his review. The OX and TAE are amazing if you want something permanently set up in your studio for recording, where you need the best quality effects built in to the OX or TAE and the truly amazing cab/mic sims of the OX. The TAE has some unique features of it's own like the power amp, the tuneable reactive load and FX loop, so that might swing you in that direction too. But for sheer value for money and portability, the Captor X wins hands down every time. It sounds awesome too!

Just for your information, that EQ seems to be semi-parametric, which is still a wonderful thing. A "fully parametric EQ" is one in which the width of the frequency center is also controllable(e.g. narrow or wide). A fully parametric EQ would be unnecessary for the majority of users.

The distortion on the 57 is a real disappointment. I'm thinking the Captor is made for amps with a lot more headroom than I have in my two Fenders.

In my opinion you can accive the same sound results with a simple combination of the previous Torpedo Captor 8,for example, and a Mooer Radar witch is an IR pedal loader extremely small,and really affordable. This configuration is cheaper than the Captor X and the sound is the same . I don't care about reverbs from this kind of unit because everyone I know using some kind of a pedal reverb...and effects in general. The "stereo thing" is the only difference that I can find ,and this isn't enough to justify 300€ more for the new Captor X. Again, I am not saying that it's not a good product, I am just saying that there are other alternatives for your pocket with same sound results . Cheers.
@papakefis4252
@papakefis4252 4 жыл бұрын
@@JeffBee1 First of all who needs this pedal for the additional attenuation possibilities ? I think that , 20 dB of attenuation which comes with Captor 8 is more than enough. And secondly there are other alternatives , excellent to be honest for loading the Mooer Radar with exceptional IRs. Again I m not saying anything bad about the Captor X. I am thinking about someone who is not able to invest in the "next generation" of Captor and he might be interested in the same available sound results with less money. Thirdly , 90 % of those who buying this product are using it for playing their own amps in home studio inviornment. In my opinion Captor X it's a waste of money if you are not a musician who plays constantly.... gig after gig... and nowadays there are no longer musicians to do that... Unfortunately. So in conclusion I strongly believe that Captor 8/4/16 is better value for money. Cheers.
