Two Notes Torpedo Captor X Plus 8 Ohm

The Two Notes Torpedo Captor X Plus 8 Ohm is a compact reactive load box and stereo DynIR engine that lets you take your valve amp direct to PA, interface or headphones with studio-grade realism. Combining load box, attenuator, cab sim, IR loader, stereo expander and post FX in a single rugged unit, it gives you mix-ready tones at any volume, from silent practice to full stage rigs.

Captor X Plus builds on the original Captor X with a powerful new Virtual Load Shaper and a True Stereo DynIR engine, giving you unprecedented control over how your amp feels and sits in a mix. Shape the impedance curve, place dual virtual mics in stereo, load your own IRs and refine everything with studio-quality EQ, reverb, enhancer and Twin Tracker double-tracking, all controllable from the front panel or via Torpedo Remote.

Whether you want to ditch heavy cabs, tame a loud 100-watt head, or capture consistent tones in the studio, Captor X Plus keeps your favourite amp at the heart of your sound while solving the practical problems of volume, mic placement and room acoustics. With 32 premium DynIR cabinets included, 128 preset slots and an immersive headphone experience, it is a complete direct solution for guitarists and bassists who demand flexibility without sacrificing feel.

Virtual Load Shaper

The Virtual Load Shaper lets you tailor the post-load impedance curve so your direct tone reacts exactly how you want. Choose from expertly curated presets or craft your own profile to add warmth, tighten the low end or bring out extra bite, then hear the results instantly via the XLR outs or headphones. It is an easy way to fine-tune the feel and frequency response of your amp when running without a real cab.

True Stereo DynIR Engine

At the core of Captor X Plus is a True Stereo DynIR engine, giving you independent control over two microphones or static IRs across the stereo field. You can create anything from subtle width to a wide, panoramic spread, routing your stereo cab sim straight to the XLR outputs. The result is a three-dimensional, mix-ready soundstage that makes direct rigs feel huge and immersive on stage and in the studio.

DynIR Cabinets and Studio FX

Captor X Plus comes loaded with 32 handpicked DynIR virtual cabinets, each offering 8 microphones, dual mic options and 12 room simulations, with thousands of mic positions to explore. Add in the stereo post FX suite including reverb, semi-parametric EQs, enhancer, noise gate and the Twin Tracker virtual guitarist, and you have a complete tone-shaping toolbox that delivers polished, professional sounds without extra outboard gear.

Flexible Connectivity and Control

With dual XLR DI outputs, USB-C, MIDI and wireless Torpedo Remote support, Captor X Plus slots into any modern rig. Run stereo, dual mono or dry/wet routing, store up to 128 presets with 6 instant-access front panel slots, and enjoy silent practice via the immersive headphone output. The rugged metal chassis and compact footprint make it a portable, road-ready solution that keeps your amp at the centre of a highly controllable, future-proof setup.
