the captain has proven that you can teach an old dog new tricks. his playing has improved so much in the last few years it's mindblowing. a great inspiration for the rest of us old dudes. thanks my brother.

You know, you all should offer “experiences” to be able play for 15-30 mins in the “video room” along to danish Pete “loops” for “personal videos” with the amps and pedals you have there....I’d pay good money for that... ..to be able to play with Pete or the captain or Rabea..priceless! Most of us amateur home guitarists want to 1-play some awesome gear to see if it’s worthy buying and 2- play and feel like we might one day might be famous on youtube 3- play with other musicians we respect !

Half the reason I'm here everyday is these intros. Damn good. Every time. Well done gents. It does make me dream of moving when I see 90 degree's being referred to as sweltering. We peaked at 109 last week and it was 95 yesterday. And I lve in the northern US. Next move will be somewhere more mild and balanced in their weather. My guitars will thank me for it too. Hahahaha

[@ZillaCabs]

Great video guys. I think it all has its place, just another excuse to get more gear. Two Notes make some great gear, so easy to use.

[@anthonysilva5312]

Bought one. It’s quite nice….especially for my neighbours at 2:00 in the morning! You can truly get a plenitude of tones which are very realistic. I own 5 cabs and 3 combos and 4 heads…and it sounds very good. One catch, it doesn’t quite capture the glassy clarity of say your plexi when you ride the guitar volume. You’ll need a few IR’s for that. Say clean, low gain, crunch and high gain. It sounds great on my headphones and great through my monitors. (And I haven’t even mentioned the midi capabilities) Finally, if Two-Notes wants to send me an 8ohm version, I’ll gladly accept it! PS- this outro Clip is not representative of the great tones that are possible !

[@WickedJester77]

You're completely right with the whole, it doesn't provide the player with the same physical experience as a cabinet. No question. This thing though, in my opinion, isn't made to do that. It's a tool for a situation. I play in Nashville pretty often and Nashville HATES guitar cabinets. Lol. Hates them. So this little box is the "make the sound guy happy" box. Freakin nails it.

Great Demo!I live in a Condo and need this badly!I am getting this for sure!Great piece for recording!Great options!!More versitle than Mesa’s Cabclone ir.Great price point as well!Thanks,Captain for the insight!!

[@JedNadin]

I have one of these. It’s great. One thing I stupidly didn’t realise is that 100w amp heads are actually really loud when cranked. The actual input transformers and tubes make a bit of sound (they’re not microphonic). I have my studio monitors lovely and whisper quiet for late night recording, but the sound coming out of the head has my wife knocking on the door. I recommend the Hairband Cab Simulation from the Two Notes Store. A nice little cab without the Green Backs or V30s.

[@pcau]

Awesome video once again guys!! Extremely informative! The technology makes possible for all of us to play home without being shot at! Such a nice device if you play at home and or gigging. Keep it up Captain and Pete and I must say it again, too bad the viewing experience is ruined by these intrusive and annoying ads from KZbin. They suck...

[@CEB7832]

In terms of the rabbit hole of different sounds, I've got a Captor X and here's the issue: changing presets (room, cab model, mike, etc.) on this thing affects the tone and sound an order of magnitude more than what amp your are using, to the point where the amp's tone easily gets lost/masked by the rest of the tone shaping tools and it almost doesn't matter which amp you are using.

[@JustinBryantdotcom]

That’s true of real cabs/ mics and as well... plug a Fender amp into a Marshall cab= very ‘’Marshall ” same w/ a Vox cab= very ‘Vox’

[@theocrom201]

Like Lee Said , you Can now use your favorite valve AMP at Home and not waking up the baby , i will for the first time buy a valve AMP and this torpedo saved my life cause now i can choose the AMP a like the most even if its a 50/100w and use it for live and Home

I just picked up the two notes cab M and I am super impressed with it. I look forward to trying the captor some day!

[@aaronshortmusic]

I have one on order. Be careful as there’s an 8ohm and a 16ohm version and not many reviewers have mentioned that.

[@Smartskaft2]

Using the 8 Ohm version with a 16 Ohm speaker is pretty safe, though the perceived EQ curve will of course change. As always, match as good as possible. But at least don't go into a (single) lower resistive load from your amp's rating. Going higher (e.g. 8 Ohm out from amp into a 16 Ohm speaker) is safe, but you'll loose some high frequencies

[@Sven-ola]

cap says that @ 18.00 :) good shout thou !

[@CaptainKirk007]

@@Smartskaft2 I want to say using 8 ohm 2 notes with a 16 ohm cabinet will do damage to your amp transformers and capacitors. But hey it’s your amp.

[@nathangray794]

[@andertons]

Thanks for the comments, we're glad you enjoyed our jams in this video!

5w amp can be made quieter by having a smaller speaker connected to it. I have a 5f1 home made clone in a small box with a 6 inch speaker. It still gets loud when you drive it, but if you live in a house it is ok. When I have to be really quiet i turn it to 2 or 3 and use a drive pedal. And when I want to be loud (full sounding) in connect it to 1x12 cab. Having a valve amp I wanted as little sound processing as possible.

[@sarty23]

[@roblarson9065]

Wish my playing improved as much as the Captain!

[@napnap609]

At around 5:20 they say its going from the Two Note into their interface and then we're hearing it through our computer speakers, but for it to be in your room too, you need it to come out of some speaker as well, no? Is what we're hearing actually coming out of YOUR computer speakers and that's what we're hearing? Great video!

As an attenuator alone is this good enough to bring a 50 watt tube amp down to bedroom levels? Love everything else about it and can definelty see using it even alive to tame the sound a touch

Yes it is. -25 db is pretty significant. Think 40w to 15w amp sound level difference.

Hi guys.. maybe one day you would like to test a Torpedo Live as well? If you don't need attenuator, you want to use something for studio or live (usning no cab, small clubs for ex.), I think Torpedo Live is a valid alternative? Of course that doesn't have the Bluetooth connectivity option, it's bigger (it's a rackable unit).. but then you have the LCD where you can do quick changes if needed. So, I couldn't tell. What do you think?

[@iamgalarneau3194]

About missing volume Love volume - for a short time - no beating it. But I miss my hearing more. Crazy volume is just impractical. If you listen to great music but a lower volumes, you hear that great tone at a practical level. Is it the same as blasting it loud? No but let’s be practical. If you just consider practicing! It takes hours and hours to get a feeling for using tone. I simply couldn’t stand in front of that volume for 5 hours a day any longer. My playing suffered as I practiced at a different tone that I performed with. This type of technology is freedom.

But you surely have AC. It's not very common in the UK and much of Europe. Heck, I live in Western NY and most homes built here until the '90s don't have AC because it never used to get that hot here. But now it does. And the US south panics and flails when it drops below freezing or you get even a dusting of snow (because you lack infrastructure to deal with it) whereas in WNY anything less than 6" of snow in a day is just a mild annoyance. Regional weather differences: they exist!
