@@adamcorvinelli Although both units share a similar chassis, on the inside it is a very different story. In short, OPUS is an end-to-end tone shaping Amp Simulator and DynIR™ Engine whereas C.A.B. M+ is a DynIR™ Engine that also features a single Clean B’man Inspired Preamp. OPUS builds upon the C.A.B. M+ specification, adding the following features: An all-new blackout colourway 5 pristine TSM™ Preamp emulations; 10 total slots for future Preamp models via free Firmware Updates MIDI input for seamless assimilation into existing set-ups; MIDI breakout cable included USB-C connectivity for future-proofed rapid data transfer A collection of 40+ premier Acoustic Impulse Responses A revised DynIR cabinet collection 40+ artist-series presets from the likes of Pete Thorn, Michael Neilsen, Jack Gardiner, Tom Quayle, Adam Steel, John Browne, Jay Leonard J and more Dual Mono routing facilities: Simply define a terminus in OPUS’ DSP signal chain and you’re set to send two distinct signals from the DI (XLR) and LINE (1/4-inch TRS) outputs Various performance improvements and workflow enhancements It cant be used connected directly to a Speaker cabinet, although it can be placed between your amp head and cab as a direct to desk solution.

Bought this over the weekend. I’ve been using gojira neural dsp for the longest time, because my amp is too loud. I have a Marshall half-stack and the rock crusher attenuator. But by sending a line signal from my rock crusher to the opus. Just using the Marty 18E ret IR feeding through Marshall pre, using my Marshall OD. It sounds fking killer! It’s amazing, no complaints. And That’s also using monitor headphones.

If this had a stereo effects loop or dedicated stereo in/out, I’d sell my HX Stomp and buy this. I use the Stomp for amp/cabs only and put the stereo wet effects from pedals in the stereo effects loop so I can take advantage of the Stomp’s outputs, ie. headphones and usb so I can still get my effects in those outputs.

Thanks for posting this. It's definitely, a very informative video! I was wondering how YOU might go about configuring specific amplifiers. I would love to see you create a video showing how and why you might chose specific yet different options within the Opus software to immulate say, a 100 watt Hiwatt through a Hiwatt cab, or a 200 watt Marshall Major. It would be interesting to see and hear the results of putting the Opus through such a real world ordeal. If it wound up sounding realistic, I'm confident that Two Notes might possibly seek your personal input on future designs. Just an perspective I felt you might appreciate.

@Paul-D10 ай бұрын
I ordered one today - My main use case will be purely to have a 'tap' in-between the amp and cab to send a decent XLR out with cab emulation. The preamp modelling is a side added bonus/backup. I think the high noise floor you can hear even when playing would be enough to put me off if I was relying on the device as an all in one. Here's hoping that goes away when the preamp section is off. Hopefully they'll find a way to patch that out with updates over time. Twonotes do have form in supporting products unlike many others - F....R

Okay, I feel stupid for asking. What is a load box? I hear this device has preamps, power section, and cab sims. So what's it missing? I thought cab sims are a load box?
@els1f9 ай бұрын
Your tube amps require (mainly though idk if there are SOME solid state amps that also require) a load in order to both function properly and not like smoke and break things on the inside (transformers, power tubes, etc)😋 As far as your amp is concerned, plugging the power amp to this is like it's not plugged in. A load box acts as if it's plugged into a speaker, dissipating power like the amp expects-no smoke, no fuses blowing. I hope that made sense lol

@els1f I think that does help. So this device doesn't actually have power to a speaker. Like you couldn't plug this into a regular passive guitar cab. But if you had a powered cab, you could.

1:08 “you can use this as a cabsim with a real amp but you still need a speaker cabinet or a loadbox“. And it says cabsim on the device. I'm no expert at all but I just don't get it. I thought this is an ampsim with a cabsim and therefore I don't need necessarily an amp or speaker cabinet.
@RJRonquillo10 ай бұрын
There are multiple ways to use it, the main one being a standalone amp+cab sim. They give you the option to use a real tube amp with it and only use the cab sims in the device to go direct. But tube amps need a load like a speaker or load box to dissipate the power/heat. The Opus does not do that.
