Playing your tube amp in a great sounding room with an exceptional choice of perfectly matched speaker cabinets and microphones is truly joyous and an unparalleled experience. The Torpedo Captor X is for tube amp lovers who crave this every time they play – no matter the environment. Play your tube amp at its sweet spot and control your volume with the attenuator, anywhere. You can even enjoy your 100 watt rig in silence with an immersive headphone experience. Fed up with lifting heavy cabinets, inconsistent sound and stage volume issues? Go direct to the PA and audio interface with studio-grade cabinet simulations. Torpedo Captor X is a compact reactive load box, tube amp attenuator, miked cab simulator, IR loader and stereo expander for home, live and studio use.
With the Two Notes Torpedo Captor X you can effortlessly control the miking chain. Wish to explore a legendary backline of speaker cabinets and microphones? Pair Torpedo Captor X with your phone, tablet or computer using Torpedo Remote. No other compact reactive load box offers such universal control of the miking chain and with dual miking per cabinet, you may never use a real mic again. The Torpedo Captor X comes with a selection of 32 Two notes cabinets for you to choose from. You can also enjoy the stereo experience when playing at home but in a live or studio situation you may wish to route the outputs differently, if so, enable Dual Mono routing and send different signals to your FOH and monitors. It's also possible to change the tone after recording your killer riff! Enable Dry / Wet routing to send both your cab sim and dry amp signal independently to your audio interface.
The Torpedo Captor X offers studio-grade processing to the Torpedo Captor line-up, featuring a Twin Tracker, Stereo Reverb, Enhancer, and Voicing. The Twin Tracker creates a double-tracked sound by routing mono amp signals to the left and virtual guitarist signals to the right, providing a beefed-up and massive sound. The Studio Reverb, a newly developed algorithm for Torpedo Captor X, allows adjusting the width of the stereo field to create subtle room acoustics or ambient soundscapes. The Enhancer includes dynamic and tone shaping tools ideal for guitar and bass, emphasizing low-end and high-end tones with Thickness and Brilliance, respectively. The Body, on the other hand, renders tones fuller and more present. The Voicing allows changing the overall sound of all presets at once, helping adapt to the venue or recording session, with mid frequencies emphasized when dialed left, while a scooped and modern tone can be achieved by dialing right.
