The Captor X Plus is a world-class recording studio, a legendary microphone locker, and a master sound engineer packed into a single rugged, gig-ready metal box. It lets you push your 100-watt amp to its sweet spot without shattering windows or waking the neighbors. The Captor X Plus allows you to crank your master volume to the heavens while sending a pristine, fully produced tone directly to a PA, an audio interface, or headphones.
All the Tone, None of the Trouble
We all know a roaring tube amp sounds phenomenal, but let's be real — gigs and recording sessions often demand that we tame that beautiful beast. The Captor X Plus is your sonic sponge, expertly soaking up your amp's raw power so you can decide precisely how loud things get. It's pure tube tone, delivered on your terms.
Three-Step Attenuator: Dial in the perfect room volume with Home (-38dB), Club (-20dB), and Stadium (0dB) settings. Let your power tubes cook while keeping the sound guy absolutely thrilled.
Immersive Headphone Experience: Dime your amp at 2 AM. The dedicated headphone output delivers a rich, spatial stereo experience that feels exactly like standing in front of a roaring 4x12 cabinet.
Virtual Load Shaper: Tweak the reactive load box impedance curve to perfectly match your amp. Tighten up the low-end thump, add a splash of vintage warmth, or emphasize aggressive bite right from the hardware.
A World-Class Mic Locker in a Box
Forget wrestling with mic stands, battling bad room acoustics, or dealing with inconsistent live sound. The Captor X Plus handles the heavy lifting with its awe-inspiring DynIR engine. It delivers hyper-realistic cab sim technology that breathes life into your direct signal, making it sound like you just tracked in a million-dollar facility.
True Stereo DynIR Engine: Command two independent microphones or static IRs within the stereo field. Pan them wide for a massive, three-dimensional soundstage that wraps around the listener.
Endless Virtual Cabinets: Dive into 32 handpicked virtual cabs right out of the box, each offering 8 premium microphones and over 10,000 mic positions. Need more? Access over 900 premium captures via the Torpedo Remote library.
Studio-Grade DSP FX: Polish your tone with onboard Reverb, Semi-Parametric EQs, an Enhancer, a Noise Gate, and a Twin Tracker Virtual Guitarist that instantly doubles your riffs for a massive wall-of-sound effect.
Total Tonal Control
Flexibility is fiercely important when you’re chasing the perfect direct recording tone. The Captor X Plus puts the most critical parameters right at your fingertips while hiding an ocean of deep-editing power just beneath the surface. From quick stage tweaks to granular studio adjustments, you hold the keys to the tonal kingdom.
Instant Hardware Control: Quickly adapt to any room using the front-panel VOICE and SPACE controls, or instantly recall your favorite rigs using the 6 quick-access preset slots.
Torpedo Remote App: Pair via phone, tablet, or computer (USB-C/Wireless) to dive deep into every single parameter. Tweak mics, adjust rooms, and shape your EQ with surgical precision.
GENOME Ecosystem Included: Take your tone even further in the DAW. The Captor X Plus includes the premier GENOME plugin software, offering an expansive playground for studio-grade cabinet simulation and beyond.
Your Amp’s New Best Friend
The Two-Notes Captor X Plus Reactive Load Box is the ultimate bridge between your tube amp and the modern studio.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Two-Notes Captor X Plus
What does the Two-Notes Captor X Plus actually do?
It acts as a reactive load box, tube amp attenuator, and advanced cabinet simulator. It safely absorbs the power of your tube amp, allowing you to turn up the master volume for rich tube saturation, and then sends a studio-quality mic'd cabinet sound directly to a PA system, recording interface, or headphones.
Can I use the Captor X Plus without a speaker cabinet plugged in?
Yes. The Captor X Plus provides a safe reactive load for your amplifier, meaning you can leave your heavy speaker cabinet at home and play entirely silently while recording or practicing with headphones.
Does the Captor X Plus work as a traditional volume attenuator?
Absolutely. It features a built-in 3-step attenuator. You can plug your amp into the Captor X Plus, and then route the signal to your physical speaker cabinet, choosing between Home (-38dB), Club (-20dB), or Stadium (0dB) volume levels.
Can I load my own custom impulse responses (IRs)?
Yes, you can easily import your own third-party static IRs. The unit features a twin-channel Stereo static IR Loader with 512 memory slots, giving you massive flexibility alongside the incredibly detailed DynIR virtual cabinets.
Do I need to be connected to a computer to use it live?
No computer is needed for live performance. Once you dial in and save your favorite tones via the Torpedo Remote app (which can also be done wirelessly from a phone or tablet), you can instantly access your top 6 presets directly from the hardware knob on the front panel.
