Whatever your rig demands, Captor X + delivers with uncompromising authenticity and player-focused versatility. From silent practice to stage-ready stereo immersion and precision-grade studio capture, Captor X + puts the full force of your tube amp under your command.
It’s a fact: Two Notes Audio Engineering redefined the modern guitar rig with the first digital load box. Captor X + marks the next chapter. Whether you’re ditching heavy cabs, taming stage volume, sidestepping inconsistent mic placement, or wrestling impractical recording setups, Captor X + is the definitive one-stop solution. Plug straight into a PA, audio interface or headphones and experience your tube amp at its absolute peak — no compromises, no caveats, just pro-grade tone wherever you play.
Captor X + is more than a reactive load box — it’s a feature-packed sonic multitool. Crank your amp to the sweet spot and take full control of your cab’s output with the onboard 3-step attenuator. Leave the cab behind entirely and let the Virtual Load Shaper and DynIR™ engine take centre stage for a truly silent rig. Need to dime your 100-watt beast but keep the neighbours happy? No problem — jack in your headphones and dive into Captor X +’s immersive headphone experience. Add in studio-grade DSP effects, quick-access VOICE and SPACE controls, and a full arsenal of front-panel encoders for dialling in your tone’s most critical parameters on-the-fly — and you’re primed for total command at your fingertips.
Pair Captor X + with your phone, tablet, or computer via Torpedo Remote and dive deep into every editable parameter. Shape your rig with 32 handpicked DynIR™ virtual cabinets, each loaded with 8 microphones and 13 room sims. Save up to 128 presets, with 6 quick-access slots right on the hardware. From casual jammers to studio pros, Captor X + offers an unparalleled level of precision, flexibility and control — all streamlined in an interface designed to root your focus on what’s really important.
This is new territory: the Virtual Load Shaper offers a selection of preset post-load impedance curves to vary the processed direct tone from your loadbox. Monitor the results instantly via the XLR outputs or headphones, choosing from expertly curated options — or your own custom profile — that add warmth, tighten lows, or emphasise bite. The result? A versatile tonal toolkit that lets you select the perfect character for your direct feed — studio-grade tone, ready for recording, monitoring or sending straight to FOH.
At its core, Captor X + features a True Stereo DynIR™ engine, empowering players with independent control over two microphones or static IRs within the stereo field. Route them directly to your outputs to create an immersive, three-dimensional soundstage. From subtle width to full-blown panoramic spread, it’s a powerful tone-shaping tool that expands your direct feed into a rich, stereo experience.
Two notes’ revolutionary DynIR™ engine delivers the ultimate in contemporary cabinet emulation, capturing the nuance and realism of 160,000 IRs in a single, flexible ecosystem. Each of Captor X +’s 32 bundled virtual cabinets features 8 industry-standard microphones, dual mic’ing options, and over 10,000 possible mic positions to explore. The result is studio-grade sound with the authenticity, flexibility, and immediacy of a real mic’ed cabinet — giving you total control over your tone in any recording or performance scenario.
