Torpedo Captor X - The Benchmark for Tube Amp Control
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Torpedo Captor X is perfect for live shows - the attenuator gives you complete control of the stage volume level while sending the legendary Torpedo cab sim direct to the mixing desk.
During the final stages of development, we invited Rich Renken from Rev4 Audio to try the Captor X in a small club and put the reactive load box through its paces in a real live setting.
Torpedo Captor X is a compact reactive load box, tube amp attenuator, miked cab simulator, IR loader, and stereo expander for home, live, and studio use.

This is the best most useful demo for the Captor X in a live/gig situation for guitarists like myself that play 100watt Marshalls. Great job man, love the Kings X shirt! Cheers, you are awesome ✊🏽
Amazing! We are so pleased to hear this has helped! If you have any questions, we are always happy to assist!
Just got mine. That Twin Tracker sounds incredible....
New to the guitar world. I get how this would be great for gigs. But would some newb, like myself with a 1x12 bedroom player, find a use for this? Any info provided would be great.
Was yours a reviewer pre model or is there someplace that has a batch of them now?
@@narrvick this is a bedroom players best friend dude this will turn any amp into a bedroom amp, headphoneable and attenuated if you want. Plug it in your computer and load up huge 4x12 stacks and sound absolutely HUGE but silent. :)
@@tw8245 - they are coming in and then going out again really quickly, most stores are only able to fulfil the pre-orders so they just aren't in stock
@@tw8245 Did not plan on getting any other amps. Have a Orange Tiny Terror 15w combo with a 1x12. Also just got the Boss Katana 100 MK2. If I get another amp, especially a 4x12 cab, I think I might be sleeping with them as the wife would disown me. :\ .
Bought mine today from a local dealer as they had them in stock. So far I'm very pleased about the features and quality of the captor x. Mainly going to use it for practice and home recordings with my ENGL Inferno.
Awesome, have you tried the official ENGL cabs??
@@TwoNotestv Yes, I bought the ENGL pack which contained my cab + few others. Sounds really similar to real thing when using the same mic I have (shure sm57). By far the best product I've bought recently.
Rich is a legend. Definitely interested now.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have! :)
King's X T shirt....instant cred.
Rich is such an awesome dude!
I bought it!!! It’s stellar. I’m a home studio guy and this is a game changer
Where did yours ship from?
3:33 love the mic setup here
Dig this on so many levels. That's a cool shirt Rich is wearing too.
It would be amazing to hear a full band mix using this in a live club gig setting as well as in the studio.
05:34 killer punk-rock tone a la Green Day "dookie"
Thanks for all the info in this vid 🙏 I can get a reasonable deal on a late 60’s Super Bass 100. So according to this vid I can actually use the Captor X as an attenuator/foh friendly unit ? My settings are around 6 with a set to unity gain germanium fuzz. I am 62ys young and grew up with these amps. As a working musician had to gig with smaller combos but do I miss the sound of this beast !!!
Hi @jazzotheque, Ross from Two notes here, you sure can! Just make sure you get the Captor X variant with the right impedance for the Super Bass! Let us know if you have any questions concerning this.
@@RossDaviesTwoNotes thanks Ross !! Got it in the house now and it sounds glorious on an open back 2x12 !! It makes my Lazy J combo, which is fantastic in its league, sound like a Pignose 😇 Getting the Captor X asap and will keep you posted.
@@jazzotheque Amazing! Let us know how you get on!
@@RossDaviesTwoNotes hi Ross, would it be ok to run a 8ohm captor x on my Super Bass 100 set to 8ohm on the output selector, without a cab connected ? It sounds fantastic that’s for sure !!
@@jazzotheque You sure can! Our internal load on the Captor X will ensure your amp sees a load and protects it from any unwanted damage! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with today!
Is this good for a bedroom player with a cab who doesn’t record or gig ?
If anything while it's a great live tool, this is a bedroom players best friend dude. No longer is your 100w dual rec only for the stage. You can get it whisper quiet OR crank it and play thru phones. Me in 1999 would have killed for something like this .
@@tw8245 ^^ THIS :)
Timothy Williams how are the irs you can load on here ? I have the axe 2 I don’t like the way it sounds going to my 412 cab it kind of sounds digital but it’s powered by matrix not my Mesa head
@@danielhenry4614 I'm willing to bet you have an IR loaded on that patch and you're running an IR into a cab instead of a FRFR cab or monitor.
Timothy Williams sorry I mean amp block I don’t have ir I bypass the cab block I’ve never used ir before but the amp blocks sound good but nothing like the real thing
Probably a stupid question to some, but can I use to attenuate my 100w Amps AND run w my pedal board into my FRFR 12 speaker for quiet late night practice at home ? Please, anyone. I bought the Captor 16 ohm and then 1 week later this came out. it's still in the box new and unused. What does the Captor X do that the V1 didn't do ? Lots of questions I see it has the 6 settings for Cabs. My 1st question is important because I don't want to damage my FRFR 12 powered speaker (Headrush). Thank You -
Not sure I understand what you are saying tbh,
But... The Captor X allows your amp to run silently (up to 100w), what you do with the signal before it hits your amp doesn't really matter, and you can run the signal out from that to your FRFR if you want.
There is no v1, the black analog captor is basically just an attenuator - a different profuct, the Captor X does considerably more. There are hundreds of videos on TH-cam, and many on our channel, that will show you what it does!
@@TwoNotestv I understand. So it is alright to go from pedal board into a 100w 6505+ or Laboga mr. hector into Captor X and then into a Headrush FRFR then without destroying the powered FRFR Speaker. I have an Orange PPC 4X12 so I suppose I can just use that because of attenuation.So for home application, it will cut all the way down 38dbs opposed to 20 ?
Thank You TwoNotesTV !
@@teriakamoto The output of the CAptor will be line level, so if you want to go to an FRFR you can
So are they still using the 4x12 on stage with IR’s going to the house or both? Sorry for the dumb question, I’m just new to this.
Ross from Two notes here! No problem at all! They are using both! The 4x12 for monitoring on stage and the DynIRs feeding the signal to FOH. Let us know if there is anything else we can clarify for you today!
i trust a guys opinion more if they are wearing a KingsX tshirt! Ty is guitar tone!!
Ha ha i will send your comment to Rich, that'll make his day. :)
Is Better the Torpedo X or Torpedo 8 for home recording with a PC and Wall of sound plug-in? The quality Is the same?
Hi, can i use the Torpedo Captor x with my Roland blues cube Stage 15w? my main goal is to shut the volume and record with headphones,i have only line out at the back of the Amp,will it serve it's purpose ? thanks.
Yep. Any amp signal will go through it, and simulate a cab on it.
I tried to output the cabinet sim with 2 mics, one for each L and R channel to have them separated in the DAW and I couldn't. Can someone tell me if it is possible?
Yep, just send two signals out to the dual outputs
