Enjoy!
Ha! I got their promo e-mail on this today....seems like a great tool, tho I doubt I'll be needing it anytime soon while I stick to my humble (yet wonderful) Boss Katana MKII. If I ever go high wattage tube amp tho, I'd be having my eye on one of those to keep the neighborhood sane and in peace...
So help me. I have a 5w tube amp. Beautiful but too loud for my flat. Can I use this to get the great tone through headphones?
Subbed ! Question can I use my Marshall cab instead of the cabs on the two note ? Great vid 🙏!
I have to tell you I’ve been playing guitar for well over 40 almost 50 years now your presentation of guitars and products gets better and better each year you really done a great job and for an older person like myself who is now finally biting the bullet and getting into all this new technology you’re making it a lot easier keep up the good work
As a fellow old guy who creates content geared (lol) for older players like myself- I concur. 😜🤘🏻🎸
I have candles on my birthday cake than hairs on my head. Darrell has help me understand this tech stuff. I have saved myself money not buying junk because of his reviews.
When you turned on the amp and started playing I thought it was a new intro
Dude, you are the most to-the-point, thorough, no-nonsense source of unbiased, level-headed info in the field, with just the right amount of fun sprinkled in. I'm seriously getting into experimenting with guitars after recently watching all your series on cheap guitar upgrades and fretboard work. Thank you for sharing all this wisdom!
Agree, my Squier plays like butter now...
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.
Not so bad trapped in the house with new toys. Stay safe Darrel enjoy your weekend
Feeling this hard. Been home 7 weeks and my have bought a guitar, bass, an interface and a midi controller. My wife: how many guitars do you need?!?!
Me: always one more than the current total.
Ouch. 500 bucks
Just placed my order for one of these last night. Really excited that my tube amp collection is going to get some action!
Darrell, I give credit to you for changing my decision from getting a better guitar to getting a better amp! Maybe a guitar upgrade is in the future, but a great amp makes all the difference I could ask for today. Thank you!
What an awesome tube amp necessity! And of course always grateful to see you promote these awesome products indeed!
Well done D! Interesting gear, I want
One! Thanks for sharing brother and Be Well All!
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos they are really entertaining keep it up sir!
very good demo! good, none confusing explanation of functions - thank you!
Darrell! Greatings from Brazil! Very nice straight to the point videos! I subscribed to your chanel and I hope you keep doing this great job.
I don't even have a tube amp yet here I am
:(
I've got one to sell you - same one Darrell has. Like new - it was an impulse buy
The effort!!! I love it man ❤️
Best review and breakdown of this product - keep up the good work ....cheers D
Great little box sounds good nice one darrell always good vids and entertaining 👍
That thing is awesome❤️
Finally a good review of the captor
Lovely Tone.😍😍😍
Killer tones with this on the Relish !
love that Relish Trinity
Haven't finished watching yet but I know Its an awesome vid. So Awesome video
Darrell you are so informative, thank you for this review! We all love our tube amps in the room, how would you compare your amps into the captor with speaker emulation vs a straight up modeler or VST?
Thank you for the great review Darrell! I recently had the opportunity to buy one of these, and I have to say I am loving it! Your review taught me a lot of things about this wonderful little box.
One question though, did you make those presets you were using available? Looked in the video notes and couldn't find them. Sorry if I missed it, but can you point me to where I can get them?
Thank you very much!
When you said that it is half the price, I am absolutely sure everyone was thinking about the OX. That short moment of silence was the magical chemistry between fellow guitarist when we all quietly said "screw UA and their overpriced solutions, you deserved it".
Thanks DB I give a Dame about IR's now. Great Job
Very cool product bro!! ESPECIALLY if you've got an killer sounding older model tube amp w/out the switches that do this on some newer style models,man they keep putting ANY & EVERYTHING on these newer models!!! (Headphone inputs,tube life extensions,bluetooth, output level switches (like this product)) etc... Rock On Yall
😎🎸🎼🎸🎚🎚🎛🎛🎛🎚🎚🎵
Over from John Bovie's channel! Thanks! I've smashed all the smashers! Salutations from cloudy and ridiculously windy Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️
Now THAT'S a must if you have a tube amp. Btw, what happened to your c1 sls elite? It's been a while since I last saw it 🤔
Thanks for explaining the looser function on the "doubler" as it sounded better when you adjusted it. All other reviews I have seen left it as it is set originally - which sounds like it was doubled and the audio was sent to two soup cans. And then they all say "that sounds great".
I got really confused in the intro as to what you had on your ear. Than I saw the result and laughed my ass of haha. Great video Darrel!
Damn!!! Thats some Darrel ABBOT intro riffing man! 🤘🏻❤️
Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a fantastic and safe night with all your loved ones.
Take care & God bless everyone!🤎
This box does more than my HX Stomp for less money.
Hey Darrell, really love your video.
I see that you're using Studio one as well, it would be really helpful if you can make a video on how to record & use the DAW for DAW noob like myself. cheers!
Been waiting for this for ages
Two Notes has been killing it for awhile now. I wonder why the software seems labeled and laid out a little different then their wall of sound. Awesome product. A small lighthearted chuckle though at the small references in the beginning with it looking to be the size of your head. Get the size for all it does though and yeah they are killer value.
Great video man! I'm completely new to the world of IR load boxes and attenuators and have recently started researching them to get the most out of my tube amps at home, particularly my vintage ones. How would you say this compares to the Boss Tube Amp Expander? Does the TAE justify double the price? Ultimately, I am looking to record at home, but I know there are still plenty of times where I just want to sit in front of my amp and play through its own speakers, but have the amp running at its sweet spot. Is the Captor X good for that or should I maybe consider spending the extra money on the Boss for its attenuator? While the Captor X looks great for recording, I don't know if I want to fiddle with the app and run the sound output through monitors or headphones every time. Ideally, I'd like to be able to record my amp at its sweet spot, play silently when I need to be quiet, but also still crank my amps and play through them as they are too. Thanks for the help, cheers!
Darrell, have you checked out any of the Neural DSP stuff yet? The Plini plug in is amazing. Also been trialing the parallax bass plug in.
Very nice playd
Hi Darrell, great video, thanks! Do you know of any other device that does ‘only’ the headphone output? Something that allows the actual cranked tones of the amp through headphones, but with a volume control. The emulated line/headphone out doesn’t do a great job of it. Thanks
Very good video
Thanks dude, question, there are 2 outputs, can you record one as DI and second as cab emulated within your DAW? Also, can you change the cab settings after your recording or is that locked in to your recording? Thanks again.
Great vid as always, but the colored lights flickering behind you were really distracting, lol
Hi and thanks for your time. I have a question about the connection to the sound card. I'm using Cubase and I'm trying to understand when you connect the Torpedo to the card, you connect everything in stereo, so I have to connect to two separate channels? How to do it exactly
What is the actual attenuator section like? I'm interested in one of these when the 16ohm version is available. I find that most attenuators take away some of that tone.
Great video though. Darren
Nobody so far has mentioned that in order to play this box so that no sound at all comes out of your speaker you would have to plug the speaker out of the load box to a dummy resistor load.
The 3 levels of attenuation are not enough and not suitably positioned, maybe 5 presets 5db, 10db, 20db, 40db and full off would be nice.
Do a video on your DAW setup and how you record.
Awesome videos Darrell. Little off this video topic but could i get a parts list for your ultimate epi les paul build ive tried the link on the video but isnt working please
Hi darrell, love the channel keep up all the good work.
Can you do a video on how to get twang on a electric guitar
Check out the channel My Twangy Guitar
Four years since the video, I'm wondering if your views have changed about the Captor X and/or if there are products providing similar functions that you would recommend. Thanks!
Great demo. But how is the Captor X with clean tones?
QUESTION. CAM I STILL USE MY EFFECTS LOOP OR DO I LOOZE THAT BECAUSE OF THE ROUTING FOR ATTENUATION? Always great info and fun to watch.
You’re plugging you’re speaker out. Not your pre amp put. Effects loop included bro
Darrell, should I get the captor or captor X. I just got a PRS Archon, huge clean tones, and I want record two channels. Captor X is $400 used. Or I can get a Captor for pretty cheap, $120, only one channel. I could copy / paste that track to channel 2. Pan 10-2 or so, and I could use the WOS plug-in using different speakers and mic on each channel. It’s solo chordal guitar so need the width….
The Two Notes Studio & the Studio Live don't have the attenuation on those units correct? Captor X & Reload have Attenuation correct?
I live in a smaller apartment in downtown Victoria and play with a a couple of smaller tube amps. Knocking 20dB off my 25W mini rectifier is great for evening use and the headphone output is great. I really need to pick up an XLR interface, but my computer is so far from my amps.
I've been eying up a used 100W amp recently and now I'm wondering if the -38dB attenuation is going to make it useable at home and still get the amp into its sweet spot. I don't really want to drop a grand and then not be able to use it. Tough decision.
Biggest problem with the product, there is no online tutorials on how to get an optimum performance from it. It works on the assumption we're studio engineers.
Great review. Does anybody else have trouble hearing what a scooped sound is? I hear lots of the things that Darrell and others demo, just can't hear the scoop.
1. Power. 2 Standby on. 😄
Hi, does it reproduce spring reverb or pedals in front of the amp too? Thanks
shouldn’t you turn on the amp with first the power and the the standby?
I have a request. Could you demo guitars and amp channels dry first. Then add effects after. Greatly appreciate your channel and review's
Have you demoed the “evertune” bridge system?
can this also be used for a solid-state amp such as Roland Jazz Chorus?
Oh no - im searching for something like that but i have a triple with 150 watts 🤦🏼♂️😭
Could u campare it with the OX amp loadbox?
You betcha...
If I want to come out and go into a Preamp is this mic or line level out?
Good thing Peavey practically only makes 120 W heads, but actually I’m saving for the Triple XXX and imma need this for practice
I bought a peavey transtube supreme recently and it’s pretty nice. Super cheap too
Did TwoNotes ever post your IR’s? I can’t find them.
Make TubeAmps Great Again
Biden won
I'm just wondering to what extent it respects the tone signature of your amp... If connected to a bassman, won't it alter the specific breaking sound of the amp?
I am getting one of these and need to make sure I get the ohm thing right or if I don't need to worry about it at all, I have a 65 amp London that has 2 12" speakers looks like wired in Parallel with a switch set to 16ohms. If I want to use this as an attenuator is this at 8ohm going to work? and for all you geniuses who think this is a stupid question a preemtive f off to you.
Hi Darrell, recent subscriber to your channel and loving the content! I mainly use my Kemper to record with - mostly because of the noise issues you allude to with running a valve amp hot. However, I do own a Peavey 6505 which I have occasionally recorded with an e906 and SM57 and *loved* the results. For ages I've been thinking about getting a load box/attenuator so I can crank my 6505 whenever I want and this Two Notes Captor X looks like the ideal solution. However, I have one quick question for anyone that understands these things - I've noticed that previous similar Torpedo products were sold separately, each with a different ohm rating (4Ω; 8Ω; 16Ω). I'd always assumed you bought the model(s) that matched your amp's output rating? Does the Captor X just come in one version and can this accept any ohm input from an amplifier? Thanks for any help!
Anyone?
The Captor X comes in two versions, 8ohm or 16ohm. You probably know this, but generally, always match the impedance or go one step higher. The 8 is safe for 4 or 8ohm, and the 16 for 16ohm of course. The three attenuation settings might seem limited, but are well chosen and effective. Full, smaller venue, or bedroom levels; it also sounds great though GOOD headphones for completely silent practice as you are listening to the output to DAW. If you love your 6505, do it a favour and get it a Captor X. Pretty much everybody can find a use for this little gem, and fall in love with tube amps again. I have two Traynor YCS50s (combo and head) and several others getting good exercise ;-)
Nice new intro
Can you throw a pedal on this or a digital amp!
I’m really thinking about getting one for live use? Recently I’ve been using a modeler on my board which sounds fine but not quite there for me. My tube combo and mic setup is no longer appropriate and too heavy to carry. So was thinking getting a tube head and this. What do you think of the practicalities on this device live?
Hi, Catherine I was using a Tone King tube amp combo for practice and live performances. The Tone King people built a head cabinet for my amp so I could swap the amp components to a head configuration. I picked up a Suhr Reactive Load IR box and now I'm using that straight into the PA for practice and live performances. I chose to go this rout because I wanted to maintain the characteristics of the tube amp while still having the benefit of using my pedal board. If you decide to go this rout you'll have much more versatility, great tone and a more compact gear situation.
I honestly do think you will be disappointed with this setup in any situation.
Yes, that would be a great setup! You'd just have to be fine listening to it through stage (or in-ear) monitors Instead of a traditional amp/cab :)
$549 I’ll crank up the Bogner and wake the neighbors lol I’m running a Bogner Shiva with a Rev 3 pre amp pedal and a Bose EQ 200 and Boss ME 80 for effects and record with SM58 even at low volume the tone is amazing
That sounds like a great rig and a great workflow!
How does a twin tracker differ from a chorus pedal.
How do I record my amp output into my DAW without this?
I wanna learn to play and I also don’t wanna break the bank. I also don’t want something so low end where I’ll have to upgrade
WDYM tube amps have always been awesome!!
How do you work the ohms for it? Have the laney ironheart 120w amp which is I think 16 ohms but my two cabs to into the 8ohms set up, want the two notes but don't want to risk blowing my amp
David Murray set the amp to 8 ohms = no issues
"A ton of features in a small thing." Hmmm. That's actually how I used to describe my first wife.
Probably that Is also the reason for what She Is your Ex :)
And then you had too upgrade… sounds legit! ✌🏼
i have a question, if i would record on that how i will listen my amp settings?
Hi!
All your amp controls (eq, gain) all still work and shape the tone :)
@@DarrellBraunGuitar but that question is for example i plug guitar in to the capturer sound, if im recording my sound how i heair, if i plug the headphones it will still recording the sound?
Junior 1385 yes you will hear the sound through headphones or studio monitors while you playing and the outputs will go to your audio interface to record what you’re playing.
Hey Darrell , I caught you trying to sneak The Lick in there at around 5:40 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
I just got my first tube amp, and it’s a combo. Would this be an option? It does have an output for hooking up cabs
I’m just about to buy a Captor X. They’re $1000 where I live. It’s 2/3rds the price of my Princeton. I hope that I’m doing the right thing. 😳😁
how did go?
@@andersonresende86 I don’t use it. I just bought a Tone King amp, so perhaps it will inspire me to record.
@@andersonresende86 I consider it to be a bad purchase.
I participated in your competition, answered it right but my fortune failed☹️😢
So it’s hidden advertisement?
Have you tried the Harley Benton PA-100? They're $63.
Worth every penny too
Having a DIG @ old Maxy boi eh?
Video starts: First switch Standby ON then
switch Power ON… I’m confused
My peavey 5150 II has 120 watts so this unit will not work unless they offer a 100 + watts model.
It would still work as long as you don’t dime the Peavey. The magic is available at anywhere above 60% master volume anyway.
“But It’s like half the price of” pause..... thinking of the OX but doesn’t want to burn bridges...
There are better options, go for a weber handmade attenuation. Couldn’t careless about the recording nonsense. For amp attentuation its severly limited by the restricted single impedance option.
Twin tracker is the oldest trick on Earth. Just 5-10ms delay between left and right channel. It's called the Hall effect. Older than rain. Not impressed. And... by the way, the Strymon Iridium gives you all this (and more)... without and amp!!! And less expensive.
Zorionak2010 it’s way more than just delay... this is very different than the Iridium
Its nice but its not cheap. If I google that one I get over 500 EUR as price tag.
No one EVER demos the “attenuation” with a real cab…
Are we just to take ones word that it sounds good? Hmm…
$800 in Canada....
