The Torpedo Captor is an easy to use reactive Loadbox, perfect for unleashing a musician’s favourite valve/tube amplifier in a variety of modern applications and venues. Designed to be placed between an amplifier head and speaker cabinet or with a combo with amp/speaker connections, Captor can act as a power attenuator/cabinet simulator and is packed in a DI sized enclosure that features a complete set of connections.
It’s fair to say that most musicians are much more comfortable with the tone (and more importantly feel) that they get from their traditional analog tube amplifiers and effects pedals, than what they can achieve with fully digital modelling systems. However, capturing, recording, playing live or simply practicing at home with traditional amps etc. can create many issues: lack of time for adequate set up, limited gear availability, loud amplifiers you simply cannot play at the volume they need to be to perform at their best, having the right acoustics or simply having bulky, large and heavy speaker cabinets to carry.
The Two notes philosophy stands in one word, transparency. A guitarist’s tone must come from your instrument, your amp and cabinet – not from the electronics that we put between parts of your regular setup. Transparency is the key. The new Torpedo Captor series are the little brothers of our award-winning Torpedo Reload. An easy to use reactive Loadbox, Captor is perfect for unleashing your favourite tube amp in a variety of modern applications and venues. If you just require attenuation from your amp to your cab, Captor has you covered and if you just want an easy and modern way to record your tube amp, Captor is simply “load” and record. Attenuators are usually known for the negative impact they have on your tone in cases of tube amp attenuation. On the contrary, Two note’s Reactive-Active technology presents your amplifier with a consistent speaker’s impedance no matter what level of attenuation you’re at, and thus preserves the specific character of your amplifier.
