Two Notes Torpedo Captor X 16

I use the Torpedo Captor X with my Vox AC10, since I like to record when I'm at home and I really love the sound of my amp. I was undecided between the UAD OX and the Captor X, just like you are probably. I've tried both, I've worked with both, but I had to decide which one to use at home, by myself. OX is great, but the Captor in the right hands feels a bit better. Out of the box, as a "plug-and-play" experience, it falls behind a bit. But in general it's not. It's more tweakable, there's plenty (really plenty) of cabs and mics. And the rendition of the cabs that you can purchase additionally is phenomenal. Really phenomenal. I love to use the Supro cab, that thing is outstanding. In general you can find really obscure cabs in the cab shop, you may find several versions of the same cab too. Let's say that if you've got time to really dig into the thing, Captor X wins. The degree of customization is hands down wider compared to the UAD rival. The object per se (the white box) is compact and all, but it would have been better if it had the knobs on the top rather than on the side for obvious reasons. Other than that, I love it.

Did I mention the automatic double tracking? Such a joy.

Another great thing is the fact you can split your signal, and record separately a "DI", or a "just head" and a "full amp" version. So if you wanna switch cab after you've recorded, you can take the signal that comes from the head, and send it into antoher cab with the plugin. Basically it's like reamping, but way funnier. In general it's a great tracking tool, but sometimes it's just so nice to A/B cabs easily after you've tracked your guitars. The IR list available on their website is huge. The info is quite detailed for each model, but it would be better if they put audio samples too which they don't.

Two Notes customer service is brilliant. I've contacted them for a few doubts about impedance. They're fun, they're fast, they're just brilliant.

Great product, comparable to Universal Audio OX Amp but it comes at less than half the price.
The cab simulation is spot on, it actually sounds exactly to the real cabs I have with the added features of noise gate, reverb scenarios, enhancer and EQ, not much else you can ask. You can also load your own IR's without having the monopoly of two notes only.
Regarding the attenuation, I would have payed even more for an impedance selector (8-16 would have been enough for most) and also an attenuation knob.
The two fixed attenuation levels are a bit of a miss depending on the amps you will be using. If you have a 100w head they are spot on but for a 20-30w, it's a bit of a miss. The first attenuation level is kind of OK but not enough to really crank it at home without disturbing, while the third is just too low.
If it's for a 100w amp I would have no complains since 1st level is OK for band practice while 2nd level for home use is spot on, although as said previously, I would have payed something extra to have more attenuation options, either a knob or at least an intermediate level between the two.
Regarding the tone, I haven't detected any difference in tone while using the attenuator, so my only complain would be the two attenuation levels and the fixed impedance.
All in all, fantastic product for the cab sim and digital features (9/10), but a bit lacking on the attenuation side (7/10).

I can be quite picky with guitar sound. As a session guitarrist for years I have the chance to record in great studios with all equipment you can imagine. I bought this one because I wanted to have something in my home studio that would give me the chance to use real amp heads. I was excited with the Idea of a hybrid system and buyng this Torpedo captor x 16 was the best thing I bought in years!!! No regrets whatsoever, it delivers a fantastic cab sound letting your real amp head chine like a good recorded/miced cab.

The app is very easy to use, no rocket science needed. Another great feature is that you can store up to cabs and simply not use the app at all. This makes this gear very versatile: If you can spend hours tweeking and having fun, you can! If you just wanna a great sounding cab simulator and have fun playing, that´s also exactly what you need. Long life for the Two tone family, delivering excelence with affordable price tag!
