The Magical Silent Recording Box! Two notes Torpedo Captor X!

[@weinderdog1184]

This is the first time where I've seen fluff's clean channel not sound like ACDC

[@dominickkohen9490]

You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me!

[@thewizardmountain]

I recently picked up a Torpedo CAB M+ (also by Two Notes.. similar functionality, but not a load box). Love it to death! It's so great!

[@baritonecult622]

You did a really good job demoing this, kept my interest the whole time. Cheers Erin

[@JustinBryantdotcom]

Thanks Ryan- FYI it comes with 32 cabinets out of the box!!! We will be shipping very soon- the first batch is almost completely pre-sold.

[@PoorManCigarette]

Hey man, Thanks for the roots, Im recording my first songs by myself and that roots is just AWESOME!!! Thank a lot

[@aipsong]

Thanks for the review - I've been thinking about this for a while. For the corona days, my neighbors are gone, so I can just use my amp, but when they return, this could be very handy!!!

[@davel_ggw]

Sounds great, and the features are great. The one feature I wish it had is switchable impedance though.

[@PooNinja]

And on Mayday you drop us these lovely blossoms of awesome 🤘🏽

[@VapnFagan]

What features does this one offer over the cheaper Two Notes Torpedo Captor Reactive Loadbox DI and Attenuator? Looking to buy one but curious which one is for me. Thanks

[@Serris412]

I think (?) that this new one has all the IR loader stuff as well as the wall of sound app compatibility

[@Endstation93]

Yes it is the same, but without the ir laoder. So the Captor X is the normal Captor + Cab M and then some

[@kangazkorva5674]

@@Endstation93 I would name it castrated version of torpedo live... and torpedo live in not valuable anymore. So if you want to build all in one rack box- suck it:D

[@Thick44]

Got one on pre-order. Looking forward to messing with it

[@bradhargis2261]

I absolutely love my torpedo live. Wish I would've bought it years ago.

[@jegl1012]

That box looks and sounds amazing

Working from home, don’t tell anyone I’m watching this

You just sold your self out with this comment . Bhuah ha ha ha.

It's the shirt man. Where's the shirt from...we gots ta know.

[@simbanks8218]

Thanks for the info, you and the other gear guys help me make my decision on this product.....mine is one the way!

[@RobCabreraCh]

You just saved me a bunch of money, because I'm getting this instead of the Ox

[@jarrydee2799]

I just sold my OX and ordered one of these. I really didn't like how the OX limited you to what they want to give you. Also the WIFI sucked

[@justinguitarcia]

Excited pre ordered way back (pre quarantine) this is going to up my apartment recording game so much, also have an Apollo twin coming, super stoked

[@phowell333]

Do the Captor X silence the speaker attached to a tube combo (hardwired speaker), in case you want to use your tube combo live but only hear the presets from the Captor that are fed to your mixer?

[@_B_E_A_D_G_C]

🤣🤣🤣bro, the part where you chug and look at your phone ! Had to subscribe!

[@xenonvinc]

Cant wait to get mine

[@brianmcalpine3948]

I just got the captor original with my 5150 iii el34 50 watt, the built in preset on this demo were pretty meh to me, not worth the extra 250$. Don’t get me wrong the app is cool and the headphone jack for people who would use but I won’t, I can just run the headphone jack out of my 18i20 if I really needed to. My advice would be to get the 269$ captor and spend 30-60$ on some REALLY good IR packs, ownhammer or Lancaster has some amazing ones and use a free IR loader in your effects slot (pulse from Lancaster is perfect you can load in two IRS and blend them) and the tones I have are better than what I heard from this. Not to knock your video fluff I love the content, just some advice for someone on the fence of getting the captor or the captor x

[@we10FE]

I would like to know how low of volume I could go with the switch in the back set to low ? I understand I could use the headphones. But I just prefer to play at low volumes. Thanks

[@we10FE]

I bought one. The answer to my self question is : very low !

[@rollinrosatti]

how would this compare to a directly plugging in guitar to a hi Z input on the interface with amp simulation only? Using an Apollo twin X? Does using the amp head really increase the quality?

[@tippss3332]

The magic white box! Very nice!

[@mavdevel2078]

Nice Shirt Fluff😂👍

[@marcelojulio]

Awesome ! I forgot mesa cab clone after this !

[@jtc2112]

That sound at around 9 1/2 minutes is awesome

[@Jack-sk3we]

Ryan you should check out the new Neural DSP Fortin Cali! It sounds pretty awesome.

[@janeilts2289]

I have One question: Is it possible to use the built in noisegate while Running the captor in power soak mode with a real cabinet ? Hope someone can Tell me

[@Stashmanfpv]

So, am I able to use the reverbs, and the other features, out to my cab, while using the attenuator? Or, is the attenuation done w/o all the Captor’s other features and only used for recording to a DAW. I just haven’t seen anyone using the attenuation only in a live room with cab… yet? Thanks for the review! Best! ✌🏼

[@lukeflorea]

I just got one of these this week. All of the effects and what not are only available through the balanced outputs. The the only bonus for the speaker output is stepped attenuation.

[@Stashmanfpv]

@@lukeflorea thanks for the reply! Yeah, I like this and I'm going to buy one, but i still plan on buying an "attenuator" for keeping levels down and using the Captor X just for recording, where it seems to shine most of all... Thanks! ✌🏼

[@OTCRock4one]

Fluff, can I install the software on my Desktop iMac? I also have an iPad too, just in case...Also, are we hearing everything thru your Studio Monitors?

[@RiffsAndBeards]

yep!

[@HolyMess420]

This thing is sick. I hope to have something like it someday. 😁💭 Thanks, dude!

[@RaiyzorX]

That’s all right outta the box? With you’re amp on a clean channel? If so CRAZY.

[@jamesbuchanan1641]

I wanna get one now

[@miguelowls]

Pretty cool man! :)

[@matthias7455]

That looks awesome. Sort of a poor mans OX box. Sounds great

[@makariussulit]

signal chain on the recording?

[@bionno78]

Can it be used with Black Spirit 200 in 200W mode ? did you tried it ?

[@nestorjosuelopezcornejo7281]

Can I use this from my amp's head through the torpedo to my interface?

[@kylegrossi8175]

that thing is pretty awesome. 500+ dollars is a steal

[@justinguitarcia]

I know right? The tech is getting so good these days

[@rocksmonsterriffs]

fluff been using it for around 2 months why does it get red when using certain amp heads especially when using my carvin legacy amp i have to keep at low volume

[@jjulch]

Maybe I should have bought that instead of a Boss Tube Expander?

[@JustinBryantdotcom]

The DetroitBlues I have a bias as I work for Two notes... The Waza is great (I have one) it’s a little different. Overkill for many people. Honestly haven’t used my Waza in almost a year.

[@LincolnAlice]

@@JustinBryantdotcom - since you work for Two Notes, aside from size, I'm seemingly missing how this would be better than a Reload for studio use? Seems it would be great for a gigging musician though.

[@JustinBryantdotcom]

Completely different function - if you use the reload and Wall of Sound - you’re mostly there... the Twin Tracker, Stereo reverb and stereo outs are a big difference. The form factor and the grab and go ability, and midi etc for live use is what makes it a completely different type of Swiss Army knife.

[@tinman8014]

Nah. TAE has a proper full sweep attenuator function, footswitchable effects (I’ve never liked fumbling on a phone app whilst playing anyway), built in power amp to boost smaller amps. And switchable impedance. If it’s purely for silent direct recording and nothing else the captor makes more sense.

[@jjulch]

@@tinman8014 I've played the TAE against the OxBox. The TAE sterilizes the tone and the OxBox captures it better. I believe its because the TAE turns a tube amp into a glorified pedal into a solid state amp.

[@devonmacpherson3878]

I have an evh 5150 III 50w, it has the option to change between 4ohm 8ohm and 16ohm , but the matching 2x12 cab is 16 ohm. Can I use the captor x with my current cab our would I need to get the captor 16?

[@bengirard1984]

Get the captor 16 to match your cab.

[@darenwalker2517]

Thinking about this VS the boss waza expander. Mainly wanting the attenuation, Thoughts?

[@monsterk7603]

I have two of the original Captors that I bought mainly for the attenuation. I can say that they are super transparent. Those only have a set -20 db attenuation, which is more than you'd think. The Captor X has -20 and -38 or something like that. Crazy good. I haven't tried a Waza Expander, but the Captors being significantly less costly, I'd say you cant go wrong.

[@darenwalker2517]

@@monsterk7603 right on thanks for the info!

[@tinman8014]

The TAE is a proper attenuator. Set the amp where you want it and adjust volume via TAE. This is a load box/ silent recording tool with fixed attenuation which is of limited usefulness as volume will still need to be adjusted by changing amp parameters.

[@eddyray666]

If only us guys who actually paid for it back in January could get our hands on it, huh?

[@fuzzbear7837]

do you still need an audio interface with this device?

[@Ninuzzo]

Man still waiting for mine .... Just watching videos about it to calm myself :D

[@sveinunghamre324]

Been waiting for a while now. Luckily I ordered it when I did. A lot more expensive at least here in Norway now. It is not an amp emulator, but there is cab emulation. He probably changed the channel on his rig.

Curtis Kaltenbach 0 seconds ago If you have a boss drum machine dr-880 it attenuates my Fender Twin Reverb by just turning down the knob on the drum machine and it sounds perfect I have my amp up to 10 and the sound coming out of it as low as my TV you don't have to worry about ohms or anyting. It's truly amazing and I don't have to worry about blowing up your amp and plus you have all the effects of the drum machine.

[@metroecco7908]

where did u get that shirt?? I want one!! lol

Can i connect it between my amp and cab and use it with the virtual cabinets and attenuation?

[@Metalurg123]

Yes.

I just got this Captor-X the other day but don't know how to get the fantastic sounds I'm getting into my DAW Studio One v3 Can anybody help me out? Also the headphone plug is good but I wish there was a way I could use my wireless Sony Bluetooth headphones.

Very useful video fluffster,very informative

[@MetalHeadProductions]

impatiently waiting to demo this. l

[@enriquenavarretedelcastill9657]

thoughts about torpedo load x vs React:IR?

[@LucifdeLuther]

Torpedo has different load type, REACT:IR more like Suhr`s load box, but if you turn off resonance you will have torpedo-like result. Still latency 1.3 ms with IRs of 180 ms. Torpedo latency depends on IR length.

[@johanascorpsebramble2522]

Guessing its a bad idea to use this if your cabs are 4 ohm?

[@BadMotivator66]

papa fluff not dropping a single beat on single handed chugs XD

[@edoardoferrarini]

Can this thing being used instead of Boss waza tube amp expander?

[@AxeRocker88]

Absolutely! Same type of product. You just need to figure out which one has the features you want / need.

[@jaxonbatts9270]

i guess the captor x automatically switches to the impeadence of your speaker output jack?!

[@DanielDiezCansecoM]

No. Only 8 ohm

[@NikkeK]

Hey that's cool!

[@contentnotfound3599]

Hey Fluff, have a nice day :)

[@philsmith3019]

Might actually consider this instead of Two Notes reload.

[@michaellandrumguitar]

fluff done it again

[@RasCuban33]

Only in 8 ohms, need to make a 16 ohm one!

[@RasCuban33]

I already own the captor 8 ohm, my 2 4x12 are 16ohm mono 8 ohm stereo. Just like to have that option being that they had three different choices originally and don’t want to have to settle going down to 8 ohms again and pay twice as much as the first one.

[@borisfilipovic4911]

@@RasCuban33 I have torpedo reload and not sure if is the same here but speaker output of two notes is not related to input ohms. So you can have 8ohm amp output conneccted to two notes and then 4 ohm cab attached. I checked manual for this but is not mentioned.

[@dakotahill5622]

How’s it going fluff

[@dimitrisdiskovolos4749]

wondering if this would work with a bass amp that pushes 500 W at 4 ohm ....

[@GrimyRen]

Nope. 8 Ohm 100 W RMS max.

100 watt rms...

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

St. Rock ll or this thing????????? Im thinking St. Rock.

[@Metalurg123]

Torpedo Captor X!!! St.Rock is just a miserable copy with some features.

[@LucifdeLuther]

@@Metalurg123 It`s not a copy, different load type, not just one coil, at start REACT:IR had 1.3 ms overall latency with IR length of 180 ms, Two Notes only recently got such IR length, but at price of higher latency.

[@Metalurg123]

@@LucifdeLuther The fact that the type of load is changed does not make it true. On the known to us forum, this was discussed and a definite answer is which of the devices is better not. 1.8 or 1.3 what's the difference? =)

[@LucifdeLuther]

@@Metalurg123 Two coils (like, for another example, Suhr`s loadbox) give low frequency resonance like with real cabinet as load. 2.2 ms (for Captor X). Still specifications does not mention IR length. For torpedo live latency depends on IR length, for long length some information says that latency can be two or more times larger, while there is no clear information from Two Notes about this fact. At least REACT:IR is not a miserable copy, that`s all I want to say. If you switch off RESONANCE, you can make REACT:IR sound it Torpedo way, some peoples with previous Torpedo experience like it this way, but more prefer with RESONANCE engaged.

[@Badha78]

Twin tracker....attenuator....stereo reverb....???? Next time.

ah man they all sound flat to an amp cab and mic in the real, tried em all, usefull for many just not cutting it though

@@clemensmoeller4549 I won't complain, too much. And yeah, it's about half the price.
