Two Notes Torpedo Captor X+ (8-Ohm)

The Captor X+ is Two Notes' most capable reactive load box to date, and it does a lot more than soak watts. This is the 8-ohm version, built for amps with an 8-ohm speaker output, and it handles up to 100 watts RMS through a reactive load that preserves the feel and dynamic response of a real speaker.

Where the Captor X+ separates itself from its predecessor is the True Stereo DynIR engine and the new Virtual Load Shaper. The DynIR engine gives you independent control over two virtual microphones in the stereo field — position them, pan them, and route them to your outputs for a genuinely immersive three-dimensional cab sim that holds up in both recording and live-direct applications. The Virtual Load Shaper applies post-load impedance curves to shape the tonal character of your direct signal — adding warmth, tightening the low end, or pushing upper-mid bite — without touching what's going to your connected cabinet.

Thirty-two DynIR virtual cabinets come preloaded, covering guitar and bass, with 8 microphones and 13 room simulations per cabinet. Register the unit and you pick up 3 more for free. You get 128 preset slots, 6 of which are accessible directly from the hardware, and the onboard effects suite covers reverb (12 models), a Twin Tracker double-tracking engine, semi-parametric EQ, an enhancer for low- and high-end shaping, a noise gate, and a tuner. The static IR loader handles up to 512 custom files at lengths up to 200ms with a minimum latency of 1.27ms.

Day-to-day control runs through the Torpedo Remote app — wireless via Bluetooth on your phone or tablet, or over USB-C on a computer. The hardware Voice and Space encoders give you fast global access to mid-range shaping and stereo width without opening the app. All outputs — headphones, dual XLR, and speaker — work simultaneously and independently, so you can run your cab on stage at attenuated volume while sending a fully processed stereo signal to front of house or your interface.

A lifetime GENOME license is included for in-the-box recording and tone shaping through your DAW.
