The Torpedo Captor X is a compact reactive load box, tube amp attenuator, mic-equipped cab sim, IR loader, and stereo expander for home, live, and studio use. Playing your tube amp in a big room with an exceptional selection of perfectly matched cabinets and microphones is a true joy and an unparalleled experience. The Torpedo Captor X is for tube amp lovers who crave it every time they play, no matter the environment.

Tired of lugging around heavy cabinets, inconsistent sound, and stage volume issues? The Torpedo Captor X lets you go straight to the audio interface and PA with studio cab sims. Two notes Audio Engineering pioneered the digital load box, and over the last decade, thousands of Two notes hardware users have captured and enjoyed the harmonic complexity and responsiveness of their tube amps both in the studio and on stage. Torpedo Captor X is a premium compact reactive load box, but so much more.

Torpedo Captor X is the portable solution when your amp is too loud. Play your tube amp at its sweet spot and control the volume with the attenuator, anywhere. You can even enjoy your 100-watt rig in silence with an immersive headphone experience. Designed to handle today's demanding recording environments on stage and in the studio, Torpedo Captor X brings new features to the Torpedo Captor family, including a Stereo Expander (Stereo Reverb and Twin Tracker), Enhancer, Voice, Space, Noise Gate, and XLR DI outputs with 3 routing options (Stereo, Dual Mono, and Dry/Wet).

Effortlessly control the mic chain

Pair the Torpedo Captor X with your phone, tablet, computer, or MIDI controller, and shape your tone with the Torpedo Remote. It's a lot of fun choosing your cabinet, microphone combination, and mic positions; experiment by placing microphones both in front of and behind your virtual cabinet. Explore 32 carefully curated virtual cabinets, 8 microphones per cabinet, and 8 room sims, and save your 128 favorite presets. Select your preset, room acoustics, output routing, EQ, reverb, or edit any parameter on your device of choice using the Torpedo Remote. No other compact reactive amp attenuator offers such universal control over the mic chain, and with dual mic setups per cabinet, you may never use a real microphone again.

Stereo Expander

Twin Tracker is an automatic dual tracker. Your mono amp sound is sent to the left output, and Twin Tracker creates another track (a virtual guitarist) on the right channel in real time. Slight differences in timing and attack contribute to a beefed-up tone and massive sound. Two notes developed a completely new stereo reverb algorithm for the Torpedo Captor X. Use the Space control to adjust the width of your stereo field; create a subtle studio room acoustic or massive rooms for ambient soundscapes.

Enhance your tone

Voice is a quick tone control that lets you change the overall sound of all your presets at once. You may need to make a quick correction to adapt the sound to where you are playing or the session you are recording. Turn left to emphasize the midrange frequencies and cut through the mix better, and turn right for a broader, more modern tone. Sometimes you need a touch of magic to get the sound you're chasing; the Enhancer is a combination of dynamic and tone-modeling tools, tailored to your guitar and bass. Thickness and Brilliance emphasize the low end and high end of the tone, respectively. Body will make your tone fuller and more present.

Two XLR outputs, three possibilities

Enjoy the stereo experience when playing at home, but in a live or studio setting you may want to route the outputs differently. Enable Dual Mono routing and send different signals to your FOH and monitors; apply different EQ settings and reverb levels to each output. Want to change the tone after recording your killer riff? Enable Dry/Wet routing to send both the cab sim signal and the dry amp signal independently to your audio interface; process the dry signal whenever you want in your DAW with the included and critically acclaimed Two notes Wall of Sound plugin.

The Two notes Torpedo Captor X, packed with features, easy to use, and road-ready, is the perfect compact solution for tube amp lovers at home, on stage, and in the studio.
