BTW, as strictly an IR loader, no FX, which one sounds better?
How about as an attenuator? No FX..
Thanks.
Your IR's are too expensive. Individual cabinets/speaker typically retail for $8 each. Just sayin'... Perhaps, a 50% off discount code? Just askin'... ;-) Good luck!
How is it against the rivera rock crusher?
When loading your own IR's .... do you still use the mic stuff in the Two Notes since they are baked into your IR's?
It automaticly bypassing the speaker of the amp ??? Or you can still run it and anttenuate it ????
dude, that opening jam is SICK... both in your playing and production. killer, dude!
Your*
@@kutlukaba7448 You sure showed him.
Yeah that slide was great and I’m hoping we were hearing some of that “most I’ve spent on a fuzz” pedal in some way, that was some great fuzz jamming, yeah?
Especially when he kicks in the part with the explorer. Damn. Got into some Shudder To Think, Pony Express Record intensity there. That one part made me want to just go buy the box.
@@kutlukaba7448 yeah... fat thumbs and autocorrect.
Yo that opening track!!!!!!!!!!
Hear hear!
The opening jam was superb! I think it right off the bat shows the justice and capabilities of the Captor X, and I do agree with what you say, being that as long as you like what you play, that's all that matters. Cheers!
Wasn't it. I thought here's the next Foo Fighters story on page 1.
Rhett my guy... you don’t have to go so hard on those opening tracks my guy!!! You’re gonna melt someone’s face off 😂
I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and say that the opening jam is one of my favorites you've done. I'd be thrilled to hear a full track if you decide to do more with it
OMG dude, the opening track was worthy of this video alone. Dude you rock!
Rhett, thank you so much for these videos and reviews. The tips and knowledge I get from these video's is invaluable.
This is one of the finest product reviews I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. And for me personally, very timely as I am considering purchasing this piece of equipment.
The last video’s opening made me say, “DAMN, Rhett is frickin rocking out!!!”. But THIS video was ALSO rocking, but with many layers of it. So good!! And also....ALSO....the editing made your playing VERY exciting. The editing was so on point. Can’t help but wonder how your cd will sound, whenever you get around to it.
I was shocked to learn that it only requires power for the virtual cabs and IRs. Even when it’s not plugged in, it still functions as a load box and attenuator for your amp and cabinet. That’s pretty handy. My amp already has an XLR output that I send to the DI, so I don’t have to worry about powering the Captor X on every time, unless I need the virtual cab/IR feature. The load box and attenuator are just always there working in the background, even when I forget to power it on. Very cool.
Hi Rhett, it's great to a have full and honest reviews about products. It definitely help us to make choices.
Bro, your intros are getting better and better. Been following for about a year, and I’ve seriously seen some growth! Love it
still learning more about these types of devices, but I've loved all your vids so far. Very informative, and quite helpful!
Nice writing on your intro! It’s been a pleasure to watch you evolve and improve as you keep going.
OMG could have been a Fuzz demo (did I hear the supreme?)! Loved it!!!!!
This sounds HUGE!!! Dude ya got the most vibin' sounding clips on UA-cam for these sortsa videos by FAR!!!!
Loving the sounds & playing man! That intro was majestic
Can't wait for your solo album! the guitars on the opening track are IMMENSE
I was going to say how much I loved the intro and realised that half of the comments are the same. Makes sense, what a GREAT intro man
When the slide part hits in half time. Epic opening track
Great video, as always, Rhett! Your slide riffing on the Rivolta was absolutely stellar! I own the OX and I use it constantly, I love it so much. But I think you hit the nail on the head with this. The Captor X is such a great value with comparable features (in some ways, more features) to the ox.
That little slide jam at 8:00 was breathtaking dude...the resolution at the end was beautiful. Sounds killer too.
That tune at the top was awesome!!
I'm really interested in the CaptorX. This video taught me more about it. Thanks!
ok that was one of the best openings you've ever done
Where has this Rhett been? Bring out the riff rock/punk!!! I'm jamming making dinner for the kids 😆
Killer video, I’m really liking everything you put out, I appreciate all the great contact!!!
A full version of that opening track would awesome. Great tune and tone 👌🏻
Finally somebody who wants to explain things in a way that some of us who are not so tech savvy can understand. Thank you
Honestly like all the other videos didn’t help me much.
Rhett, thanks for the video! I have been researching both these units for my home studio and you cleared up a lot of the questions I had, thanks again! B
Thanks so much for that review - and what a great intro jam!
It's exactly the kind of review I was looking for. I understand the Ox Box might be a bit better, but given how I want to use them (and I currently have the Captor 8 running into a IR/cab sim pedal), I will go for the Captor X
JUST the video I was looking for!! Thanks Rhett!! And, that opening jam was scorching hot!!!
Rhett, informative video as always. 2 tangential thoughts:
1. I’d love to hear an album of instrumental songs of yours along the lines of your intro tune in this video;
2. Your studio gear seems to have grown exponentially in size, range and quality over the last year or so - congratulations!
Thank you for your honest observations. Your delivery is always on point, and the beauty part of it is that you keep true to yourself. It is hard to express on something honestly when that thing is sent to you for free but I think you did it flawlessly without offending the sender by telling the truth. I hope you will stay this way. And like others have mentioned, that opening track is simply awesome!
You can bypass the cabinet and use Impulse Response loaded in your DAW with the OX by choosing Direct for both Mic in the OX App
This Jam was amazing! Can't wait for your album
Love Your Playing! Inspiring. When I need a boost I just watch one of your videos and I'm creative again. Thanks brother. Rock on!!!
Killer opening Rhett! Love everything you put out!
I’ve been watching so many videos to really understand what it does…. Yours is so clear and dummy proof :) thanks a lot
This was your best opening jam to date. Awesome stuff.
Rhett, great video - thank you for taking the time to do this video - I am right in the middle of deciding between the Captor X and the Ox and this video has been so helpful. Above and beyond man, above and beyond.
Hi, but with the ox, everyone says there is a problem with connecting and it's a bit disturbing, isn't it? I want to know already what to decide to buy for recording in the studio not for performances outside. Just for the studio. Then I noticed that there were problems with the ox connecting. So I can't decide anymore. Maybe someone can give me some good advice. Thank you
Thanks Rhett! Killer opening tune as mentioned. Regarding gigging, I had two prototypes that I was able to gig with from Jan- March, before the world was shut down. Here's my BIG takeaway. It was so light and compact- literally carried it in my gig bag. It made load in/ out a breeze.
I just ordered the captor x, partly based on this review. Thanks, appreciate your time and wisdom.
WOW...great changes in that opening song...the slide was perfect.
Oh man please rock out more Rhett. That intro was savage AF.
I'm glad you mentioned the issues with the Ox app, I have been having such a hard time with it I am considering returning the unit...
Wow... I think that was the best opening jam of all the guitar tubers I follow. Superb Rhett!
Outstanding demo! Great playing! Thanks for sharing!
I was just looking at one of these the other day! Super rad intro jam!
My procrastination has finally paid off. I've been planning on OX for a while. thinking seriously about Captor X I think it will absolutely get me where I need in my home studio and Whenever gigging begins again it will make life much easier. thanks Rhett and killer track today.
I bought this as soon as it came out. I personally love it but I 100% agree with you on the reverbs in it it sounding the very best out there and I do hope they fix that they eventually with firmware updates. Also, you didn’t really go into the double-tracking feature which is magic! Very important thing.
Hi Rhett - great video. I ended up buying one and love it. One thing i think you may have missed in your video was to mention the Ohms. I ordered ma 16 ohms version and then realised my old tube amp ( 1967 Fender Stageman ) is 8 ohms after ui ordered it. The shop was able to switch my order and i returned the 16 and they sent me a 8 ohms but perhaps worth mentioning. Keep up the great work man - love your channel!
Dude that opening track is the first song I'd hear of a band of which I'd be instantly hooked, amazing work!
I’m glad you did this because I’m a huge metal guy. I love to chug my face off. There’s tons of metal guys demoing this thing so I know it works for that… but I also love and write a lot of clean and mid-gain stuff so hearing how good this thing sounds doing what you do, has got me REALLY excited.
Great job Rhett! That double tracker on those slide parts is 🔥🔥🔥
Also my Firebird GAS is level 💯
Also the Fan throttling on the Captor X is brilliant. Speeds up when you produce a lot of sound but gets quiet again if you play softly or mute your guitar.
Just wanna say, I bought one because of this video - and that alone has inspired me to finally do a full album whilst isolating before Christmas in order to safely see family!
I'm about to do the same. Did you ever put that album out?
Love the music first, and talk afterwards. I own a Captor regular 8ohm version, and use it for silent recording of my tube amps at home. The version I have does not have IRs, so its more barebones, but I add IRs in the DAW, and it sounds and works well, also with pedals in the chain. I did consider the UA OX, but I didn't want to pay for the limitations also mentioned in this video, and the wifi issues in the software is an absolute dealbreaker. Id rather go for the Boss Tube Amp Expander then. But the Two Notes gear is great, and I will keep using my Captor for quite some time. Its built like a rock!
Thanks, this video and the video on how to make the Helix sound better video helped me finalize my decision on the Captor X. Just ordered mine today.
An update were you could actually level those attenuation levels to any db atenuattion between 0 and 20 20 to 40 would be awesome!! nice rig
Beautiful arrangement of Cover Me Up, Rhett. I have both the Ox and the Boss tube amp expander, and I find I gravitate towards the boss in my studio. Maybe they’ll send you one to review?
I know I’d never gig with either because of the size and weight, and having an extra piece of gear to worry about. But if I did, the wall wart issue is annoying. The boss has an IEC cable, and I believe it’s worldwide universal. I would definitely want this from a piece of live gear. The other feature that seems like a no-brainer would be to have stereo capability. It wouldn’t need to have another load or attenuator, just a guitar-level input to take the R-side output from a stereo effect on my board, like the H9. If torpedo would add these two features I could definitely see this on top of a tube amp at a gig.
Great video, love your style man ❤️
🤟🐦🤟
Where I could see this excelling is at the heart of a "fly rig" with a good amp sim/multi effects unit for when you need a compact, yet full sounding rig.
I've watched a couple videos on this product and yours was by far the best in that you explained a lot of things that the other videos assumed I knew (which I didn't). I'm just a hobbyist guitarist. I'm looking at this product specifically for playing an amp with headphones one that isn't some cheapy amp like a micro terror or a THR5. Great job and great playing!
Nice vid Rhett, great intro!, one thing no-one ever considers (or cares) about is build quality, I primarily repair backline gear for a living and often the internal design, component and assembly quality is where the $$ is, loads of gear nowadays looks great until you open it up. I own an OX and it's incredibly well built, inside and out, love your vids man 🤘
opening jam was GREAT, Rhett
Damn that Lester/ Hiwatt combo sounded rich. Killer track dude!
THAT INTRO IS BY FAR YOUR BEST RECORDING I'VE HEARD TO DATE
Great video! Thanks for being clear with which one you think sounds better.
Mine is coming in a few days, going to use it in conjunction with the Ocean Wave studio plugin in UA
I pre-ordered a while back. I’m so excited! Great video!
I just rewatched this before ordering my Captor X - thanks. And, that opening song kicks ass.
Thanks for mentioning the headphone functionality. It's one of the main reasons that I wish to purchase one of these and no one else has seemed to address this feature.
The recording on that opening jam was incredible! Would you be able to make a video tutorial on how to put something like that together in recording software? I personally struggle with when to use mono/stereo, panning and gain staging. Forgive me if you've already done something like this.
Ok man that opening track is outstanding. Well done on all aspects of that.
Been using a Torpedo reload in house for a number of years. totally love it .
Dude, you killed that intro
Yes for me , especially for the attenuation and whole package possibility , thanks for the vid .
Great review !! I just pulled the trig @ sweetwater on the Cap X - Now I have even more confidence I went the right way !! Thanks Rhett! BTW nice playing too and smooth Chicago Music Exchange shoutout! My man Phil in their shop does work on my axes, he's the best !!
Best demo on this yet! I am waiting for mine to show up, but after watching this, I definitely made a good decision buying this thing :-) Can’t wait to get it!
Already ordered my Captor X ....waiting for delivery!!! Can't wait!!!
Rhett, It’s almost easy to overlook the fact that your video production quality is as gorgeous as the music and content you create. Have you made a video on your camera equipment and recording techniques? I’ve looked through the archives and can’t find one, but knowing you, you’ve already made that video.
Best opening yet! Keep it up!
Love the Jason Isbell partial guitar cover at 15:26
Great review Rhett - appreciate the perspective
I almost thought I was listening to a commercial when I heard your intro track. The tempo was so fast and rocking compared to what I normally hear you play. I’ve been on the fence about theses kinds of units but I would get the captor x. Out of all the videos on captor x I feel I finally understand what it is and does. In regards to the ox, I can’t deal with software issues and especially at that price. Also I only have an iPad and I don’t think the ox has an iPad app.
Rhett this intro song is intense!!!! Love it man!!
some of the best guitar sounds I've ever heard on youtube.
Dope intro ! Got me hyped up ! Mega sound !
Thanks for the review Rhett. Hope you get out on the road soon.
Delivering the ROCK on the intro- favorite tone was the solo- screamin!
Best intro ever loved that sound on the firebird... more pls🎶
Far out Rhett thanks man. As the others are also commenting super inspiring and emotional guitar play, wow!
I really enjoy your vids Rhett! That intro track is slamming! One question I had was about the sound quality of the attenuation. How does it sound. I get your point about the set levels but how does the tube amp sound in the two attenuated modes.
I live in an apartment and have been thinking eyeing an Ox, but oh man, the $1200 bucks hurts to think about -- this Captor X unit might be the answer! Thanks for another great video, Rhett!
Dang dude, that was killer when the slide came in!
Ordered one last week. Shipping on Friday! Like your channel
I spotted that Jason Isbell homage there Rhett - classy. 15:26
Nice review, I'm tempted to pick this up at that price. I've got a wonderful tube amp and no way to turn it up!
great review, really explains the product well.....and some tasty geetarin' to boot! Cheers Rhett!
I'm using live Captor 16 and I love the form factor. It fits perfectly in Mono Tick under my cables ;)
Picked up one of these and it is fabulous ... for bass as well as guitar.
