Two Notes' Magnum Opus

The Two Notes Opus is an all-in-one rig replacement in the size of a standard stompbox, providing you with utterly authentic amplifier emulations and the immensely powerful DynIR engine. Inspired by Two Notes C.A.B. creations, the Opus adds fully featured preamp and power amp modeling sections, allowing you to craft your dream amplifier from the ground up. Next, the DynIR Engine covers the rest of your signal chain with a vast library of beautifully emulated guitar cabinets pulled from throughout 6-string history, all with the ability to choose your own mics and rooms for pristinely produced tone. You also get a myriad of must-have utility effects (reverb, EQ, noise gate, etc.), 99 preset slots, Dual Static IR loader, and MIDI functionality for superior control. Top it all off with an extraordinarily powerful editing app available via USB-C and Bluetooth, and Two Notes Opus is a gig-ready rig replacement that sits right on your pedalboard.

Masterfully modeled preamp and power amp tones

Right out of the box, the Two Notes Opus boasts five immaculately crafted preamp emulations. These emulations allow you to instantly call up iconic front-end amp tones with all the grit and saturation you’d expect from a true tube amplifier. Moreover, the Opus also comes complete with a fully featured power amp section that supplies modeling of 6L6, EL84, EL34, and KT88 tubes. Finally, the power amp section also delivers Pentode/Triode options and the ability to switch between the low-powered rasp of a single-ended Class A power amp and the more robust roar of a push-pull Class AB power amp.

Capture studio-ready cab tones with the DynIR Engine

Taking off where the Two Notes C.A.B. left off, the Opus sports a potent DynIR Engine that masterfully mimics legendary cabinet and speaker tones. Once you’ve chosen your preferred preamp/power amp combination, the DynIR Engine covers the rest of your signal chain with 32 cabinets from the DynIR Cabinet Collection — a veritable suite of classic cab tones perfectly captured by the likes of Steve Stevens, Pete Thorn, George Lynch, Dave Friedman, and more. Eight microphone emulations are available per cabinet to achieve a truly record-ready tone, with an additional 12 room emulations to space out your sound. It’s all finished with a must-have toolbox of studio effects and functions, including a noise gate, reverb, EQ, enhancer, and more.

In-depth Torpedo Remote app

Opus is designed to offer the utmost simplicity when you’re onstage and in the studio. After all, this pedal sports but a simple setup of two knobs and a high-visibility screen to sweep between your favorite settings. If you’re more the tone-tweaking sort, the Opus’ real editing potential comes when you connect your pedal to the Torpedo Remote app, available via Bluetooth or via desktop by using the USB-C port. Torpedo Remote is an amazingly in-depth editor that offers exacting adjustment of every parameter you could dream of, allowing you to edit, manage, and save up to 99 of your favorite presets. Do you prefer plug-and-play functionality to sonic sculpting? Opus grants you a wealth of presets right out of the box, as well as 40+ lovingly crafted artist presets.

  • Comprehensive end-to-end rig-shaping powerhouse pedal, loaded with precisely crafted preamp/power amp emulations and Two Notes’ DynIR engine

Reviews

Versatile and quite realistic!
Very impressed with the Opus. A lot of different tones and options are on board with a very realistic feel for a digital modeler which is critical to me. My pedalboard setup is kind of unique with 4 options available via different switched routing options and the Opus along with a Plethora X3 for stereo modulation effects plays an integral role: Pedals>Opus>TC Plethora X3>stereo>mixer/audio interface. Pedals>amp>Opus>TC Plethora X3>stereo>mixer/audio interface. Pedals>Simplifier X> TC Plethora X3 in effects loop>stereo>mixer/audio interface. Or pedals, Plethora to front of amp. The Opus really excels at allowing me to play my 40 watt amp at lower volumes with a load box at home or jams with many different cab options. I can route everything to a mixer to FOH or at home into studio monitors and I get great full amp tones at useable lower volume. I also use the mixer/monitor setup without the amp using the Opus full set of available amp/pre-amp and cab options for an almost dizzying array of choices. The app or PC/tablet control is very useful. I also get silent practice at home using headphones from the mixer. The Simplifier X is also an analog option I use for realistic amp feel but I have to say the Opus comes pretty darn close for a digital modeler, with no latency issues I can hear or feel. Great job Two Notes!

Pretty stunning!
Well, if you want hyper realistic feeling and sounding amp models with XLR out, this box delivers. It's a solid build too. I purchased this several months ago and I'm just now unboxing it. This unit is best suited as a paddleboard amp simulator at the end of an effect chain going to house or recording into a DAW. The apps are responsive and the cabinet simulations are another level. That's good. The issue I experience that was less than good is along with having realistic sound and feel. It also has real tube amp noise, levels, and the gate, while effective is not very elegant so it does not feel subtle with a light touch and tends to gate out very lightly played notes, even when set in its lowest position. I'm still giving the Op. 5 stars however. I have helix and TONEX and software and hardware versions and this goes toe to toe with it although it does not have on board effects other than Reverb. This is for a different sort of purpose. It's not an all in one solution, you need to use it with effects. I plan to use this in the studio as well as mounted at the end of my signal chain on a pedal board. I don't miss an amp at all when I'm playing through it. It gives you the tube app experience, wart, and all.

Unbelievable
I'm not sure how anyone can give this less than 5 stars. I have this as my live DI rig, combined with regular pedals, all controlled via midi. The lack of an effects loop really hasn't had any impact; I run a delay and chorus post Opus and the output of the delay into the house pa. I am glad I went this route over a full blown modeler, as I have a ton of flexibility to swap pedals as needed. Unbelievable value for the price, or any price. Highly recommend.
Awesome box that does so many things!
I bought this for IRs mainly, to pair with my normal black Two Notes Captor along with several amps I use. I wanted something that didn't require me to monitor through the DAW or use a VST. I use an Apogee system with an API lunchbox. It's great for silent home recording with any amp, given you already have a load box.

I also use it on a Roland JC77 amp at home. No need for load box on solid state. I use that as my preamp and run pedals into that amp, and this is at the end as my IR.

Outside that one big thing! Another great option is mixing your live analog mic sound, then sending the Opus to FOH. This is great to get a 4x12 cab sound if you have a 1x12 or 2x10 type setup. You can blend the two together.

Another great option is wet dry setup! You could use the amp sim on the Opus as a huge headroom amp sim to PA, and have effects on it, then mic your normal amp in as well with overdrive. I use a wet/dry setup at practice, but carrying all that is a lot. This allows me to throw the Opus amp sim on an A/B/Y live.

Just so many things you can do! But my favorites is a stand alone amp on the go. Also silent practice with the built in headphones, and aux in for your iPhone/PC or any audio player to practice along to. I bring this thing on trips with 3-4 pedals, and I can jam at a minutes notice. Big reason I bought one before the holidays!

If you're looking for a direct monitoring solution for IRs, Amp sims or simple want a more portable backup rig…this thing does it! I find the amp sims sound very good with pedals. A Morning Glory and high gain is really all you need for basic gigs. If you play just distorted, edge of breakup or super clean all the time…no pedals needed it has you covered! However if you use midi, you could switch between presets.

The 5150 and Fender sims are outstanding on this. Marshall sounds decent, but 5150 is the better high gain on this one imo. Ampeg is also great for bass or guitars. Also has an Acoustic sim and tuner on board…you really don't need a computer outside 1 time update. But can use your iPhone or PC if you want!

Cons:

1 star removed, as I wish it could Bluetooth to a cellphone for audio as an option. Also it would have been nice to even have a cheap audio recording feature to pc over the USB-C on the go…but would add a lot more money I assume. However, in future I think a Bluetooth phone connection for audio would be a great feature that's doable! I don't always have the dongles, and the 3.5mm cable laying around as common.
Versatile as hell
Absolutely wonderful amp sim with sounds for days!
