Total Rig Authority
This is Captor X Pro, developed in partnership with Ampete Engineering. Captor X Pro sets the benchmark in forward-thinking amplifier control. Its mission is simple: empower players of all walks with total backline authority whether it's driving a cabinet at manageable volumes or delivering a pristine studio-grade direct feed. Combining switchable Reactive and Resistive load voicing with precision programmable passive attenuation and embedded TorpedoTM processing, Captor X Pro stands as the most advanced expression of our digital load box line to date.
Going direct? Captor X Pro's DynIRTM engine fuses stereo or dual-mono cabinet simulation with studio-grade mic selection and immersive room control. Pair this with a studio-grade FX suite and pro-spec connectivity arsenal, and Captor X Pro is primed to simultaneously control and elevate any backline.
Eighteen years of load box and cabinet-simulation development led here, refined, pressure-tested, and focused on one outcome: absolute control when it matters most.
Drive your amp to the edge. Control the fallout. This is total command, no concessions.
Forged in Partnership
Engineered in partnership with Ampete Engineering, Captor X Pro distills Two notes' mastery of load boxes and cabinet simulation through Ampete's uncompromising approach to switching and signal-path engineering. In Captor X Pro, reactive behavior, attenuation, direct output, and control are united under one banner, built from the ground up for professional rigs under real-world pressure.
Multi-Impedance. Maximum Flexibility.
Under the hood, Captor X Pro's fully reimagined load design is engineered under an ethos of retaining feel, response, and tone without compromise. Packing multi-impedance capability, 150W power handling, and switchable Reactive and Resistive load profiles, Captor X Pro delivers pro-spec performance and maximum tonal flexibility in equal measure.
Programmable Attenuation
Captor X Pro's auto-transformer programmable passive attenuator delivers multiple fixed attenuation stages, all the way down to total silence. No sweep. No guesswork. Every move deliberate. Pair attenuation with Captor X Pro's switchable load voicings to further shape how the amp reacts under reduced volume, selecting Natural, Presence, or Resistive modes to subtly influence feel, resonance, and attack. From fine adjustment to full attenuation, Captor X Pro maintains tonal integrity while giving you meaningful control over how the amp behaves at any level.
Triple-Voiced Load Architecture
Why settle for a single fixed response? Captor X Pro runs a triple-voiced load architecture, two reactive voicings and one resistive mode, delivering absolute authority over the companion amplifier's feel and response. Engage Reactive - Natural for Two notes' authentic speaker-like load response, replicating the impedance behaviour of a real cabinet for a familiar, organic amp-to-load interaction. Switch to Reactive - Presence for greater top-end definition and a more subdued resonance peak, tightening articulation while keeping movement and harmonic detail intact. Select the Resistive mode and the response firms up with a flatter impedance curve and warmer tonal characteristics, focused, immediate, and consistent when precision takes priority. Three load voicings, three distinct behaviors, adapt the character as required.
Direct Access
Every player knows: great tone lives in the details. That's why Captor X Pro places every editable parameter front and center, all driven by a radiant color display, dedicated quick-access buttons, and twin rotary encoders. The result is immediate, hands-on control, no loss of focus, no broken flow, no abstraction, no detours. From load behavior and attenuation to routing and cab sim refinements, adjustments are fast, tactile, and deliberate. Every detail is visible, reachable, and under command the instant it matters.
Torpedo Remote Ready
Pair Captor X Pro with a computer, tablet, or mobile device and unleash a world of tactile tonal control with Torpedo Remote. Dive into 24 expertly curated DynIR virtual cabinets, each loaded with 8 microphone models and 12 studio-grade room simulations. 128 preset slots are available, each with unrestricted access to every editable parameter within Captor X Pro's DSP architecture, including virtual load shaping, cab selection, mic selection, placement, room response, routing, post-FX shaping, and more. No indirection. No bottlenecks. Just direct, uncompromising control of the mic'd and post-processed signal path.
True Stereo DynIR Engine
Captor X Pro's True Stereo DynIR Engine delivers unrestricted control to sculpt the cabinet tone you're chasing. In Stereo Mode, run two microphones or static IRs with the freedom to place them independently across the stereo field. Switch to Dual Mono and route each microphone to its own dedicated output, complete with independent and fully-customizable mic and post-FX chains. Whether it's precision stereo imaging or full dual-mono authority, Captor X Pro makes your cabinet tone deliberate, repeatable, and unmistakably yours.
Stop Settling. Start Shaping.
Capturing the nuance and realism of 160,000 IRs in a single, flexible ecosystem, DynIR moves far beyond the constraints of static snapshots to deliver mic-driven Virtual Cabinets built for serious tone shaping. With 8 industry-standard microphones, dual-mic operation, and thousands of authentic mic positions, DynIR treats cabinet tone as something you shape, not settle on.
Virtual Load Shaper
Captor X Pro's preset-based Virtual Load Shaper offers a selection of post-load impedance curves to precisely shape the processed direct tone from your loadbox. Choose from precision-tuned profiles, or create your own custom curve, to control how the amp translates to the direct feed. Monitor changes instantly through the Line/DI outputs or headphones and commit with confidence. Whether it's adding weight, tightening up the low end or pushing the attack forward, the Virtual Load Shaper delivers total control without the guesswork.
The Heart of Your Backline
Consolidate your backline into a single, unified system via Captor X Pro's mono pre- and stereo post-FX loops. Position dynamic- and frequency-based processors pre the embedded Torpedo processing, while time-based effects live after the DSP, preserving clarity, stereo width, and separation throughout the signal path. The mono pre-FX return doubles as a line-level input, allowing external preamps and modelers to feed directly into Torpedo processing and the stereo Line/DI outputs. For added flexibility, the mono pre-FX send can be repurposed as a pure, unprocessed amp DI, exactly what the amplifier delivers, nothing added.
Repeatable. Reliable. Direct.
Whatever the scenario, Captor X Pro is engineered to perform wherever a direct signal is required. Stereo Line/DI outputs, paired with integrated headphone monitoring, make it simple to move between recording, rehearsal, and live environments, with consistent, reliable tone, every time.
GENOME Captor X Pro Edition Included
