Two Notes Torpedo Captor X Plus Compact Reactive Load Box, Attenuator, DynIR Engine, IR Loader & Stereo Expander

The Two Notes Torpedo Captor X Plus 16 Ohm is a compact reactive load box, attenuator, DynIR engine, IR loader and stereo expander that lets you take your valve amp direct without sacrificing feel, punch or realism. From silent practice and studio sessions to cab-less live rigs, it delivers mix-ready tone straight to front of house, your interface or headphones, while keeping your favourite amp right at the heart of your sound.

Building on the original Captor X, Captor X Plus introduces a powerful Virtual Load Shaper, a True Stereo DynIR engine and a deep suite of studio-grade post effects. Shape the response of your amp, position dual virtual microphones in a full stereo field, load your own IRs and refine everything with EQ, reverb, enhancer and noise gate. Whether you are taming stage volume, ditching heavy cabs or chasing consistent recorded tones, Captor X Plus gives you precise, repeatable control in a rugged, gig-ready box.

With 32 premium DynIR virtual cabinets on board, 128 preset locations and seamless control via Torpedo Remote on USB-C, MIDI or wireless, it is equally at home on a cramped pedalboard or in a pro studio rack. Dual XLR outputs with flexible routing let you run stereo, dual mono or wet/dry setups, while the immersive headphone output keeps practice inspiring at any volume. Add in the included GENOME software licence and you have a complete direct ecosystem for world-class amp and cab tones wherever you play.

Next-generation direct amp solution

Captor X Plus is designed to replace complex cab, mic and monitoring setups with a single, streamlined box. Use it as a reactive load to run your valve amp safely without a speaker, as an attenuator to hit the sweet spot at manageable levels, or as a full cab sim and IR loader for direct feeds. The result is consistent, controllable tone on stage, at home and in the studio, with far less gear to carry and set up.

Virtual Load Shaper and DynIR stereo engine

The Virtual Load Shaper lets you tailor the post-load impedance curve feeding your cab sim, so you can add warmth, tighten the low end or emphasise bite without touching your amp settings. Paired with the True Stereo DynIR engine, you can place two virtual microphones or static IRs independently across the stereo field, creating anything from subtle width to huge, immersive soundscapes that translate beautifully through PA systems and headphones.

Studio-grade effects and tone shaping

Inside Captor X Plus is a powerful DSP platform loaded with tools to refine your direct sound. A semi-parametric multi-mode EQ, enhancer and Body control let you sculpt thickness, brilliance and presence with precision, while a responsive noise gate keeps high-gain rigs tight and controlled. The integrated reverb engine offers 12 room modes plus an advanced Custom mode, so you can move from tight studio ambience to expansive spaces without extra pedals or plug-ins.

Preset power, remote control and GENOME integration

Captor X Plus comes pre-loaded with 32 DynIR virtual cabinets and space for 128 presets, with six user-configurable slots available directly from the front panel for instant recall. Connect via USB-C, MIDI or wireless to the Torpedo Remote app to dive into mic choice, room selection, EQ and routing. When it is time to record, the included GENOME software licence unlocks an extended virtual rig of cabinets, amps, pedals and studio effects, giving you a cohesive workflow from hardware to DAW.
