Cranked Amp Tone without Compromise
Nothing beats the thrill of pushing a guitar amp to its limits, but when volume restrictions get in the way, the Two Notes Torpedo Captor X+ is the solution. Boasting three levels of attenuation, this compact reactive load box is designed for guitarists demanding maximum control over their tube amp tone in any environment, from silent practice to live stereo rigs and studio recording. Building on the original Captor X, this state-of-the-art unit ups the ante with a Global Virtual Load Shaper for fine‑tuning amp response and a True Stereo DynIR Engine that supports dual‑mono or stereo virtual cabinets, static IR loading with extensive onboard memory, and surgical virtual mic positioning. You also get quick-access Space and Voicing controls and 32 preloaded DynIR virtual cabinets. Moreover, along with balanced XLR stereo DI outputs, the Torpedo Captor X+ provides you with an immersive headphone experience. You also get USB-C, MIDI, and Wireless Torpedo Remote connectivity for seamless parameter editing, a well-stocked Stereo Post FX Suite, and comprehensive preset management.

Authentic tube response at any volume
With guitar amplifiers, feel matters just as much as tone, and the Two Notes Torpedo Captor X+ keeps that in mind. Its 100-watt reactive load allows you to play your amp without a connected speaker, all while preserving the touch, punch, and responsiveness you’d expect from a physical speaker cabinet. Additionally, the Speaker Thru jack allows you to connect direct and to a speaker cabinet simultaneously. Moreover, the Torpedo Captor X+ offers top-caliber attenuation, with -38dB, -20dB, and 0dB levels — Home, Club, and Stadium, respectively — enabling you to attain cranked-up tone at any volume level.

Teeming with state-of-the-art DynIR technology, the Torpedo Captor X+ is an all-in-one guitar DI powerhouse. You can take command via your computer or mobile device, USB-C, MIDI, or the Wireless Torpedo Remote. Select from 128 presets, or customize your own tones by combining Torpedo Captor X+’s 32 meticulously modeled virtual cabinets with eight microphone setups per cabinet and 12 room simulations. Take a deeper dive with Torpedo Captor X+’s onboard Stereo Post FX Suite, which includes Reverb, Semi-parametric EQs, a Twin Tracker virtual guitarist, an Enhancer, and a Noise Gate.
