A load box is a device that safely replaces a speaker cabinet by providing an electrical load to your amplifier. Instead of producing sound, it converts the amplifier’s output power into heat.

The most important specification of a load box is its impedance, measured in Ohms (Ω). For example, an 8-Ohm load box must be connected to the 8-Ohm speaker output of the amplifier.

Because the power is dissipated as heat, adequate cooling and ventilation are essential. Overheating can damage both the load box and the amplifier.

When using a tube amplifier, you must always connect its speaker output to a load — either a speaker cabinet or a load box — before powering it on. Running a tube amp without a load can cause serious, even irreversible, damage to its output stage.

While many tube amplifiers include fuses or protection circuits, some do not provide sufficient protection. It’s impossible to predict how every amplifier will behave if powered on without a proper load.

The Torpedo Captor X + is a reactive load box, designed to safely replace a speaker cabinet while emulating the complex impedance of a real speaker. This ensures your amplifier operates and sounds as it should, even without a physical speaker connected.

The Torpedo Captor X + does not need to be powered on to function as a load. It safely absorbs the amplifier’s output and converts it into heat, preserving tone and protecting your gear.

To use the Torpedo Captor X + correctly and safely:

• Always connect your amplifier’s speaker output to an appropriate load — either a speaker cabinet or the Torpedo Captor X +.
• The Torpedo Captor X + functions as a load even when switched off.
• The maximum supported power is 100W RMS.
• Do not operate your amplifier above this level.
• If your amplifier exceeds 100W RMS, refer to the official documentation or support articles for safe usage recommendations.

Using your amplifier with a load box requires some extra care. Because there’s no sound coming from a speaker cabinet, it’s easy to accidentally push the amplifier beyond its safe operating limits. Doing so can cause premature tube wear or, in extreme cases, serious damage to the amplifier.

When testing your amplifier at high volumes for the first time, watch the tubes and overall condition of the amp closely.

• Red-glowing tubes, smoke, or unusual smells are clear signs of overheating or electrical stress.
• If any of these symptoms occur, power down immediately to avoid partial or complete destruction of the amplifier.

The sweet spot—where your amplifier delivers its best tone—is rarely at maximum volume. Most amplifiers sound harsh, compressed, or unpleasant when pushed to their absolute limits.

Keep in mind:

• Most amplifier volume controls are logarithmic, meaning that the majority of volume increase happens in the first half of the knob’s rotation.
• In many cases, the amplifier is already operating at full power by 12 o’clock, even if the knob can turn further.
• Reaching maximum output power often results in excessive distortion and stress on the output stage, not necessarily better tone.

Running a tube amplifier at very high volume for extended periods can cause:

• Premature tube wear
• Overheating
• Possible output stage failure

Remember: Even if your volume knob isn’t at maximum, your amplifier may already be running at full output. A reliable approach is to use the same volume levels you normally would during rehearsals or live performances, rather than relying on the knob position alone.

In Summary

• Avoid running the amplifier at full power for long periods.
• Watch for visual signs of stress (glowing tubes, smoke, heat).
• Your amplifier’s best tone usually occurs below maximum volume.
• Treat the amplifier with the same care you would when connected to a real speaker cabinet.

The term “silent recording” is often used when describing load boxes — but in reality, the process is not completely silent. Compared to a traditional speaker cabinet and microphone setup, a load box setup is several orders of magnitude quieter, yet you may still notice a few minor sounds during use.

You will still hear the acoustic sound of your guitar or bass strings. This is perfectly normal, but in a quiet environment it can feel more noticeable, especially when monitoring through headphones.

You may hear a faint buzzing or humming coming from the Torpedo Captor X + itself. This is completely normal. The sound is produced by the reactive load’s internal coil as electrical current passes through it. The vibration varies with your playing dynamics and frequencies, meaning you’re actually hearing your amplifier’s power section working — often for the first time without a loudspeaker masking it.

Similarly, your amplifier’s output transformer can emit slight mechanical noise, which normally goes unnoticed when a speaker is connected.

The Torpedo Captor X + contains an internal fan to dissipate the heat generated by the load. Although we use a low-noise, high-speed fan, it is not completely silent. In normal operation, however — whether you’re listening through studio monitors or headphones — the fan noise is barely audible and should not interfere with recording or playing.

In Summary While the Torpedo Captor X + enables near-silent operation, a few residual mechanical sounds are inherent to the way amplifiers and reactive loads function. These are normal, harmless, and part of the authentic physical behavior of your gear.

Meet Captor X +, the next milestone in Two notes’ critically-acclaimed loadbox lineage. Featuring an all-new Virtual Load Shaper for sculpting a custom tonal response and a leading-edge True Stereo DynIR™ Engine to surgically position your mics or static IRs across the stereo field, Captor X + builds on the revolution Captor X started, pushing direct-to-PA and recording workflows to new levels of control and creativity.

The following examples illustrate the most common ways to set up your Captor X + with the rest of your equipment.

• Connect your amplifier’s speaker output to the SPEAKER INPUT on the Captor X + (marked with a red bolt); Use only a speaker cable for this connection
• Then, connect your speaker cabinet to the SPEAKER OUT of the Captor X + — again, use only a speaker cable
• Set your preferred cabinet volume using the VOLUME LEVEL switch
  • Note: The Torpedo processing (cabinet simulation and effects) is applied only to the direct outputs and is not heard through the physical cabinet.

• Connect your amplifier’s speaker output to the SPEAKER INPUT of the Torpedo Captor X +, identified by a red bolt. Always use a speaker cable for this connection — never an instrument cable.
• Connect your headphones to the PHONES output and use the OUTPUT LEVEL control to adjust the headphone volume.
• To listen through studio monitors, active speakers, or an audio interface, connect the XLR outputs of the Captor X + to your target device.
  • Note: You can also use XLR/TRS jack cables from the Captor X + outputs to the monitoring device. This may be necessary depending on the input specifications of your audio interface, mixer, or monitors, particularly regarding line-level signal compatibility.
• Use the OUTPUT LEVEL control to adjust the volume for both the headphones and the XLR outputs.

• Connect your amplifier’s speaker output to the SPEAKER INPUT of the Torpedo Captor X +, identified by a red bolt. Always use a speaker cable for this connection — never an instrument cable.
• In Torpedo Remote, select the DUAL/MONO routing mode to send two independent signals from the Captor X +’s XLR Outputs — for example, one to the Front of House (FOH) and one to the stage monitors/stage monitors’ mixing desk. Use balanced microphone cables (XLR) for these connections.
  • Note: The Torpedo Captor X +’s DUAL/MONO output routing mode, provides two microphone routing behaviors. These are selected using the “MIC A/B MIXDOWN“ switch - see 4.2 DUAL/MONO Routing for more information
• If you want to hear your amplifier’s dry sound on stage, connect your speaker cabinet to the SPEAKER OUT jack on the Captor X +. Always use a speaker cable for this connection — never an instrument cable.

• Connect your amplifier’s speaker output to the SPEAKER INPUT of the Torpedo Captor X +, identified by a red bolt. Always use a speaker cable for this connection — never an instrument cable.
• In Torpedo Remote, select the DUAL/MONO routing mode and bypass the Torpedo processing on the right output. This configuration sends the full processed Torpedo signal from the left XLR output, and the dry amplifier signal from the right XLR output to your audio interface.
• You can then apply cabinet simulation using GENOME within your DAW

The Torpedo Captor X + features several quick-access knobs designed for easy, on-the-fly adjustments.

• OUT LEVEL controls the overall output level of the unit.
• VOICING provides a quick global EQ adjustment.
• PRESET gives you direct access to six user presets from the front panel.

For complete control over all parameters, use the [https://www.two-notes.com/en/torpedo-series/torpedo-remote/ | Torpedo Remote software] — available for Mac/PC (via USB connection) and mobile devices (iOS & Android, via wireless Bluetooth connection). The following sections explain how to connect the Torpedo Captor X + to Torpedo Remote using either a USB or a wireless connection.

Torpedo Remote is available as a desktop and mobile application, facilitating access to every editable parameter within Captor X +’s DSP architecture. Within Torpedo Remote you can:

After launching Torpedo Remote, you’ll be prompted to either register your unit to your Two notes account or continue as a Guest. We recommend registering your Torpedo Captor X + to access firmware updates, exclusive presets, and three additional cabinets.

• Note: The three free cabinets are available only to the original owner of the Torpedo Captor X +. Once the unit has been registered, these cabinets cannot be transferred or redeemed on another account (for example, if the unit is purchased second-hand).

When using Guest Mode, you can still operate the Torpedo Captor X +, but you cannot import cabinets from your personal Two notes license or remove cabinets from the device.

You can connect your mobile device to the Torpedo Captor X + via Bluetooth. Follow the steps below to establish the connection:

• Launch the Torpedo Wireless Remote app on your mobile device.
• Allow all requested permissions — these may vary depending on your device and operating system.
• When the connection window appears, follow the on-screen instructions to begin pairing.
• Enter the PIN code when prompted to complete the Bluetooth pairing process.
  • Note: The PIN code is a six-digit number starting with 000, followed by the last three digits of your Captor X +’s serial number. For example, if your serial number is 11123456, your PIN code will be 000456.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If, after entering the PIN code, the Torpedo Captor X + does not appear in the Devices list within Torpedo Wireless Remote, follow these steps:

• Unpair the Torpedo Captor X from your phone’s list of paired Bluetooth devices.
• Restart the pairing process using the steps outlined above.

Important Considerations:

• The Torpedo Captor X + must be paired through the Torpedo Wireless Remote app, not through your phone or tablet’s Bluetooth settings.
• Some mobile devices require Location (GPS) to be enabled for Bluetooth pairing. If you are unable to connect with Bluetooth alone, try activating Location Services on your phone or tablet before attempting to pair again.
• Wireless connectivity is reserved for Mobile and Tablet devices only — Torpedo Remote’s desktop application cannot be used to connect wirelessly to Captor X; similarly, Torpedo Remote’s Wireless Application for Phone or Tablet devices cannot connect to Captor X via a wired USB connection using an adapter or similar — only a Bluetooth connection is permitted/possible.

When designing your Presets, Captor X +’s Torpedo Remote software operates with two distinct environments: the “VIRTUAL CABINET” and “IR LOADER” modes.

• VIRTUAL CABINET mode is designed for use with Two notes DynIR Virtual Cabinets.
• The IR LOADER mode allows you to use third-party impulse responses (IRs) in .wav format.

Note: Both modes provide access to the same Post FX and share the same Output Routing configuration options (STEREO or DUAL/MONO) for the XLR outputs.

Within Captor X’s VIRTUAL CABINET Mode, a preset includes the following elements:

• A DynIR Virtual Cabinet
• Two microphones (selected from a choice of eight) with adjustable positions within the virtual mic’ing area
• Post effects and their related settings; inclusive of:
  • MIC FX EQ
  • OUTPUT FX EQ (DUAL/MONO Mode Only)
  • ENHANCER
  • REVERB  * TWIN TRACKER (STEREO Mode Only)
• Configurable Output levels for the left and right channels

Important: To import or remove cabinets in the Torpedo Captor X +, your unit must be registered to your Two notes account via Torpedo Remote. You cannot import or remove cabinets when using Torpedo Remote in Guest Mode.

Important: Cabinet Management in Captor X + can only be actioned via the Desktop Variant of the Torpedo Remote Application using a wired USB connection

<Image Insert / Cabinet Manager>

Open the CABINET MANAGER tab to manage the Two notes Virtual Cabinets stored in your Captor X.

• The left panel displays the cabinets available on your computer.
• The right panel shows the cabinets currently stored in the unit.

The Torpedo Captor X + ships with its internal memory fully loaded — 32 DynIR cabinets are preinstalled. To import a new cabinet from your computer, you must first free space by removing one or more cabinets from the right panel.

• Note: Removing a cabinet only deletes it from the Captor X +’s internal memory. It remains part of your Two notes license and can be reimported at any time using Torpedo Remote.

To import a cabinet, drag and drop it from the left panel to the right panel, or click the Load button to transfer it to the unit.

Within the CABINET MANAGER, you can also rearrange the order of the DynIR cabinets stored in your Captor X +. Simply select a cabinet and move it up or down the list to change its assigned slot.

To create a preset, start by selecting a cabinet.

In the VIRTUAL CABINET window, click on the blue screen or the arrow next to it to open the list of available cabinets. Next to the blue screen, you’ll find several filtering options to help refine your search:

• GUITAR / BASS: Filter the list to display only guitar or bass cabinets.
• TORPEDO: View the cabinets currently stored in your Captor X +.
• COMPUTER: Access the cabinets linked to your personal Two notes license and stored on your computer.
• ONLINE: Browse and audition additional cabinets available from the Two notes Store.

Each Two notes Virtual Cabinet includes a dedicated collection of eight microphones, carefully matched to that specific cabinet. To access the microphone list, click the blue window located above the fader of the desired Mic Channel in the Microphone Mixer.

Microphones are categorized by type:

• DYN — Dynamic microphone
• CND — Condenser microphone
• RBN — Ribbon microphone

You can position the microphones freely within the highlighted trapezoid area, either in front of or behind the cabinet. Select MIC A or MIC B using the corresponding switch, then move the microphone by clicking and dragging (on a computer) or touching and dragging (on a mobile device) the mic or mic stand.

You can position the microphones freely within the highlighted trapezoid area, either in front of or behind the cabinet.

Select MIC A or MIC B using the corresponding switch, then move the microphone by clicking and dragging (on a computer) or touching and dragging (on a mobile device) the mic or mic stand.

Within the Microphone Mixer pane, use the following controls to adjust each microphone independently:

• Fader – Sets the microphone’s volume level.
• FRONT/BACK switch – Positions the microphone in front of or behind the cabinet.
• Bypass (B) – Sends the unprocessed signal.
• Mute (M) – Silences the microphone channel.
• Phase (Ø) – Inverts the microphone’s phase.
• DISTANCE and AXIS knobs – Adjust the microphone’s position relative to the speaker.
• Pan - Available only in STEREO mode, the Pan control positions each microphone within the stereo field, allowing precise spatial placement for the left and right channels.
• MIC A/B MIXDOWN (Switch) — Available only in DUAL/MONO mode, the MIC A/B MIXDOWN switch blends the two microphone channels after their individual MIC EQ and ENHANCER Post FX stages, producing a single mono summed signal. This summed signal is then routed to the OUTPUT FX LEFT/RIGHT processing blocks, where it passes through output-specific FX (including the OUTPUT FX EQ and REVERB) before being sent independently to the Left and Right XLR outputs

Within Captor X +’s IR LOADER Mode, a preset includes the following elements:

• Up to 2 static Impulse Responses in IR SLOT A and IR SLOT B. * Post effects and their related settings; inclusive of:
  • MIC FX EQ
  • OUTPUT FX EQ (DUAL/MONO Mode Only)
  • ENHANCER
  • REVERB
  • TWIN TRACKER (STEREO Mode Only)
• Output levels for the left and right channels

Important: To import or remove third-party IRs in the Torpedo Captor X +, the unit must be registered to your Two notes account via Torpedo Remote. You cannot import or remove IRs when using Torpedo Remote in Guest Mode.

To load an IR file into the Captor X’s internal memory, first open the IR MANAGER window in Torpedo Remote.

• The left panel displays the IR files stored on your computer, allowing you to browse the folders where your IRs are located.
• The right panel shows the IR files currently loaded into the Torpedo Captor X +.
• You can drag and drop IRs from the left panel (computer) to the right panel (Captor X +) to import them.
• To free up memory slots in the unit, drag and drop IRs to the bin at the bottom of the window.
  • Note: Removing an IR only deletes it from the Captor X +’s memory — it remains in your collection on the computer.

The Torpedo Captor X + can store up to 512 impulse responses (IRs). When you upload an IR to the Captor X +, you choose the IR length; Available memory depends on the IR length you select. The internal memory allows:

• 512 slots for 20ms IRs (4 banks of 128 slots)
• 256 slots for 40ms IRs (4 banks of 64 slots)
• 84 slots for 100ms IRs (4 banks of 21 slots)
• 44 slots for 200ms IRs (4 banks of 11 slots)

When transferring IRs, you can adjust several parameters to optimize Captor X +’s performance:

• IR Length – Increasing the IR length improves the resolution and low-end accuracy of the Torpedo’s processing; available options include 20ms, 40ms, 100ms, or 200ms.
  • If the original IR is longer than the selected length, Torpedo Remote will truncate it to that length.
  • If the original IR is shorter, Torpedo Remote will pad it with silence (zeros) to match the selected length.
  • Keep in mind that a 40 ms IR occupies two memory slots in the Captor X +.
• IR Offset – Determines how the IR file is aligned and processed during transfer.
  • Min Phase – Re-aligns samples to ensure the IR remains in phase with others (recommended when using multiple IRs processed the same way).
  • Min IR Latency – Removes any silence before the first sample, minimizing latency. This may slightly alter the tone.
  • Original- Leaves the IR unchanged. This preserves the file exactly as it is, but may result in phase issues when mixed with other IRs.

You can also use IRs stored directly on your computer’s hard drive without importing them into the Captor X +. When doing so, the unit operates in Preview Mode, which allows you to load one IR at a time (in the IR SLOT A only). Presets using a previewed IR can be saved on your computer, but not stored in the Captor X. To access the full functionality of the unit, import your IR files into the Captor X +’s internal memory.

Within the IR Mixer pane, use the following controls to adjust each Impulse Response independently:

• Fader – Sets the IR’s volume level.
• Bypass (B) – Sends the unprocessed signal.
• Mute (M) – Silences the microphone channel.
• Phase (Ø) – Inverts the microphone’s phase.
• Pan - Available only in Stereo mode, the Pan control positions each IR within the stereo field, allowing precise spatial placement for the left and right channels.
• IR A/B MIXDOWN (Switch) — Available only in DUAL/MONO mode, the IR A/B MIXDOWN switch blends the two IR channels after their individual IR EQ and ENHANCER Post FX stages, producing a single mono summed signal. This summed signal is then routed to the OUTPUT FX LEFT/RIGHT processing blocks, where it passes through output-specific FX (including the OUTPUT FX EQ and REVERB) before being sent independently to the Left and Right XLR outputs

The Torpedo Captor X + provides a range of powerful tools to refine and shape your tone before sending it to a public address (PA) system or audio interface. These tools are available in both the VIRTUAL CABINET and IR LOADER Modes

The Noise Gate (GATE) is particularly useful when using a high-gain amplifier or vintage-style single-coil pickups, as it helps keep your signal quiet when you’re not playing.

The THRESHOLD control determines the level at which the gate becomes active:   *When your signal is above the THRESHOLD, the gate is open (signal passes through).   *When your signal is below the THRESHOLD, the gate is closed (noise is reduced and the closed status indicated by the illuminated green LED adjacent to the CLOSED label).

The LEARN function automatically sets the optimal THRESHOLD level. To use it:

• Set your guitar’s volume to maximum.
• Mute your strings with your hand.
• Click LEARN — the Noise Gate will analyze the input signal and set the THRESHOLD automatically.

In the both the VIRTUAL CABINET and IR LOADER modes, the Torpedo Captor X + provides channel-specific EQs for each DynIR microphone (VIRTUAL CABINET Mode) or loaded Impulse Response (IR LOADER Mode), allowing precise tonal shaping of individual channels. Access the independent Mic A/IR A and Mic B/IR B EQs via the MIC A/MIC B (VIRTUAL CABINET Mode) or IR A/IR B (IR LOADER Mode) Switch above the Channel EQ interface

The EQ section offers three operating modes: Guitar, Bass, and Custom.

• The GUITAR and BASS modes each provide a 5-band EQ with a gain range of –20 dB to +20 dB.
• The CUSTOM mode gives access to a 5-band semi-parametric EQ and an additional high-pass filter for precise tonal control.

The EQ section allows you to fine-tune your tone across multiple frequency ranges. Each mode offers a different set of center frequencies optimized for its application.

• Guitar mode: 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 2000Hz, 6000Hz (listed from lowest to highest).
• Bass mode: 50Hz, 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 4000Hz (listed from lowest to highest).
  
• Custom mode: the bands are as follow:
  • Low Cut: 10 - 500Hz, 12 dB per octave slope
  • Low: low shelf, 60 - 240 Hz, +/-20dB
  • LMid: peak, 180 - 720 Hz, +/-20dB
  • Mid: peak, 400 - 1600 Hz, +/-20dB
  • High Mid: peak, 1 - 4 kHz, +/-20dB
  • High: peak, 3 - 12kHz, +/-20dB

The ENHANCER combines dynamic processing and tone-shaping tools, specifically designed to optimize the sound of your guitar or bass.

• In the DUAL/MONO output routing mode (only), the Torpedo Captor X + provides a dedicated ENHANCER for each active DynIR microphone or IR channel, selectable via the MIC A/MIC B (VIRTUAL CABINET Mode) or IR A/IR B (IR LOADER Mode) Switch.
• In STEREO mode, a single stereo ENHANCER block is available for unified processing across both channels.

The GUITAR and BASS modes automatically adapt the ENHANCER’s internal processing to the specific frequency range and tonal response of your instrument — ensuring optimal clarity, balance, and punch for each application.

The DRY/WET control adjusts the balance between the cabinet simulation signal and the ENHANCER-processed signal:

• At 0% (fully counterclockwise), only the cabinet simulation is heard.
• At 50%, the cab sim and ENHANCER signals are mixed equally.
• At 100% (fully clockwise), only the processed signal from the ENHANCER is heard.

The BODY parameter acts as a compressor with a high-pass filter, targeting the low-mid and higher frequencies to add fullness and presence. The high-pass filter cutoff differs by mode:

• 100 Hz in GUITAR mod
• 150 Hz in BASS mode

The THICKNESS and BRILLIANCE controls further refine the tone by emphasizing the low and high frequency ranges respectively:

• THICKNESS: Centered at 400 Hz (Guitar mode) and 150 Hz (Bass mode)
• BRILLIANCE: Centered at 1.5 kHz (Guitar mode) and 2 kHz (Bass mode)
• Note: Both THICKNESS and BRILLIANCE offer a gain range of 0 to +15 dB.

The Torpedo Captor X + includes 12 room reverbs and one fully customizable reverb.

In all output routing modes, the Torpedo Captor X + provides dedicated REVERB processing tailored to each configuration:

• In DUAL/MONO mode, each Output features its own mono REVERB, selectable via the OUTPUT FX LEFT/RIGHT Switch above the REVERB interface
• In STEREO mode, a single stereo REVERB block processes both channels together for cohesive, unified spatial effects.

  When using the Custom REVERB mode, you can adjust the following parameters:

• DRY/WET: Balances the direct signal and the reverb. At the midpoint, both levels are equal.
• Size: Controls the perceived size of the acoustic space — from small and intimate to large and spacious
• Echo: Adjusts the level of reflections within the reverb.
• Color: Shapes the tonal character of the reverb, from dark and warm to bright and airy.

• WIDTH (Only Available in STEREO MODE): This control allows the reverb to be configured anywhere between mono and full stereo. Setting the knob fully to the left produces a mono reverb, centered in the mix, while turning it fully to the right creates a wide stereo reverb with an expansive spatial image. The reverb’s width is therefore customisable to the Stereo DynIR or IR settings configured in the Microphone Mixer or IR Mixer panes, allowing precise integration with the selected cabinet or IR setup for both mixing and live performance applications.

The ROOM/AMBIENCE Switch allows you to change the acoustic profile of the reverb:

• ROOM: Produces a bright sound with plenty of early reflections.
• AMBIENCE: Creates a subtler response with fewer early reflections and enhanced low-end presence.

In the DUAL/MONO output routing mode, the Torpedo Captor X + provides a dedicated Output EQ for each XLR output.

• Each output’s EQ can be selected via the OUTPUT FX LEFT/RIGHT Switch above the REVERB interface
• Positioned after the Reverb module in the signal chain, the OUTPUT FX EQ allows independent tone adjustments for each output channel.
• This feature is designed for quick tonal fine-tuning, enabling adaptation of your sound to a specific live venue, monitoring system, or recording setup, without affecting your main Channel Specific EQ.

The OUT EQ shares the same controls and behavior as the standard EQ module allowing you to fine-tune your tone across multiple frequency ranges. Each mode offers a different set of center frequencies optimized for its application.

• Guitar mode: 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 2000Hz, 6000Hz (listed from lowest to highest).
• Bass mode: 50Hz, 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 4000Hz (listed from lowest to highest).
  
• Custom mode: the bands are as follow:
  • Low Cut: 10 - 500Hz, 12 dB per octave slope
  • Low: low shelf, 60 - 240 Hz, +/-20dB
  • LMid: peak, 180 - 720 Hz, +/-20dB
  • Mid: peak, 400 - 1600 Hz, +/-20dB
  • High Mid: peak, 1 - 4 kHz, +/-20dB
  • High: peak, 3 - 12kHz, +/-20dB

The TWIN TRACKER is only available in Captor X +’s STEREO Mode and is an automatic double-tracking processor that enhances your sound by creating a realistic double-tracked stereo spread. When engaged, the DynIR or IR-processed signal is sent to the left output, while TWIN TRACKER generates a second, virtual performance on the right channel in real time. Subtle variations in timing and attack between the two signals create a fuller, wider, and more powerful tone.

The TWIN TRACKER offers two adjustable parameters:

• BALANCE – Controls the level of the TWIN TRACKER signal. Turning it fully down outputs only the left (original) signal.
• TIGHTNESS – Adjusts the timing offset of the virtual guitarist. Latency can reach up to 70 ms.

Note: When enabled, the REVERB WIDTH parameter is automatically set to 100% for optimal stereo depth.

The Preset Rack, located at the top of the VIRTUAL CABINET and IR LOADER windows, allows you to save and load presets within the Torpedo Captor X +. The unit provides 128 memory slots for storing your custom presets.

Use the PRESET MANAGER tab to manage the presets on your Torpedo Captor X +. The left panel displays the preset folders available on your computer, while the right panel shows the presets currently stored in the unit.

• You can reorder presets in the Torpedo Captor X + by moving them up or down in the list.
• The first six preset slots are directly accessible using the PRESET knob on the front panel of the unit.
• To remove a preset, drag and drop it into the bin below.
• To import a preset, drag and drop it from the left panel (your computer) to the right panel (the Captor X +’s internal memory).

The Torpedo Captor X + offers multiple routing modes for its XLR outputs, which can be configured as either STEREO or DUAL/MONO. To change the routing mode, click the purple button located above the OUTPUT LEVEL knob.

In STEREO mode, both outputs deliver the DynIR Virtual Cabinet simulation (VIRTUAL CABINET Mode) or Dual Static Impulse Response (IR LOADER Mode) signal as configured in the Microphone Mixer / IR Mixer panels respectively, inclusive of all pan settings. In this mode, you also have access to the TWIN TRACKER, the Stereo ENHANCER and Captor X +’s Stereo REVERB Post FX.

Troubleshooting:   * If only the right XLR output is connected and excessive latency occurs, check Torpedo Remote to confirm that STEREO routing with TWIN TRACKER is not enabled, and ensure that the TIGHTNESS parameter is not set to its maximum

On the Captor X +’s front panel, the SPACE knob provides quick, on-the-fly control of a selected pre-defined parameter. The function of the SPACE knob can be assigned in Torpedo Remote by clicking the purple button located below the SPACE control in the software interface.

In Captor X +’s STEREO Mode, the following SPACE Knob Assignments are available:

• ST. EXP. (Stereo Expansion) - The SPACE knob can operate in two ways depending on the Twin Tracker status:
• When TWIN TRACKER is off, the SPACE knob controls the WIDTH of the REVERB.
  • When TWIN TRACKER is on, the SPACE knob controls the TIGHTNESS parameter of the TWIN TRACKER. In this case, the REVERB WIDTH is automatically set to 100%.
• D/W (Dry Wet) - The SPACE Knob is assigned to the DRY/WET level of the Stereo REVERB.

This routing mode allows each XLR output to carry an independent signal. There are two selectable DUAL/MONO behaviors selected via the MIC A/B Mixdown (VIRTUAL CABINET Mode) / IR A/B Mixdown (IR LOADER Mode) switch).

• In standard DUAL/MONO operation (with the “Mic/IR A/B Mixdown” switch disengaged), Microphone 1/IR 1 is routed to the Left XLR output, and Microphone 2/IR 2 to the Right XLR output. Each Mic/IR Channel and related output includes its own MIC/IR EQ and ENHANCER, configurable per Channel (via the MIC FX/IR FX MIC A/MIC B / IR A/IR B switch); in addition, a Mono REVERB, and OUTPUT FX EQ are available per output (Selectable via the OUTPUT FX LEFT/RIGHT switch) allowing fully independent processing for the Left and Right outputs.
• When the “Mic/IR A/B Mixdown” switch is engaged, both microphones/IRs first pass through their individual MIC/IR EQ and ENHANCER stages (via the MIC FX/IR FX MIC A/MIC B / IR A/IR B switch), after which they are summed into a single blended signal. This blended mic signal is then delivered to both XLR outputs, where it is processed by independent REVERB and OUT EQ modules assigned to each output, selectable via the OUTPUT FX LEFT/RIGHT switch.

For parameter specific details for all MIC FX/IR FX and OUTPUT FX, please see 2.4 Shaping Your Tone in the VIRTUAL CABINET and IR LOADER Modes

On the Captor X +’s front panel, the SPACE knob provides quick, on-the-fly control of a selected pre-defined parameter. The function of the SPACE knob can be assigned in Torpedo Remote by clicking the purple button located below the SPACE control in the software interface.

In Captor X +’s DUAL/MONO Mode, the following Space Knob Assignments are available:

• D/W (Dry/Wet) - The SPACE knob controls the DRY/WET REVERB level for both XLR outputs.
• D/W L (Dry/Wet Left) - The SPACE knob controls the DRY/WET REVERB level for the Left XLR output.
• D/W R (Dry/Wet Right) - The SPACE knob controls the DRY/WET REVERB level for the Right XLR output.

  Activating the BYPASS button on the right output channel disables all Torpedo processing for that channel, sending the dry, unaffected amplifier signal directly to the right XLR output.

This configuration is ideal for recording, as it allows simultaneous capture of the full cabinet simulation from the Left XLR output and the unprocessed dry signal from the Right XLR output.

The VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER introduces a powerful new way to refine Captor X +’s direct outputs. By applying carefully designed post-load impedance curves, it reshapes the tonal character of your amp’s signal after the load stage. The result is instant flexibility: add warmth, tighten lows, or highlight upper-mid bite, all tailored for your XLR and headphone feeds while your companion cabinet connection remains completely unaffected.

The VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER is accessible from both the VIRTUAL CABINET and IR LOADER windows, and operates as a global parameter, with its settings applied across all presets on the Torpedo Captor X +.

Within the VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER, the following parameters are available to configure the processing engine:

• Left Arrow / Right Arrow: Navigates through the available VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER presets. These arrows step backward or forward through the predefined curves.
  • Note: For Captor X +’s predefined VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER Presets, editing of the response is unavailable. To create a bespoke VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER response, please use the CUSTOM MODE (see below)
• CUSTOM MODE (Switch): Engage to unlock all VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER controls and create a bespoke VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER response curve. When instantiating the CUSTOM MODE, the following parameters are available to configure the VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER
• RESONANCE: Adjusts the strength of the simulated speaker resonance at low frequencies. To configure the RESONANCE portion of the VIRTUAL LOAD SHAPER, the following controls are available:
  • GAIN: Controls the level of the low-frequency RESONANCE peak being applied. Use this to add weight or reduce boominess.
  • FREQ: Sets the center frequency of the low-end RESONANCE peak.
  • Q: Controls the width/bandwidth of the low-frequency RESONANCE effect. Higher Q values create a narrow, more pronounced peak; lower Q values create a smoother, broader lift.
• PRESENCE: This collection of parameters enhance articulation, definition, and pick attack, configured via the following controls:
  • GAIN: Controls the intensity of the PRESENCE boost.
  • FREQ: Defines the center frequency of the PRESENCE shaping. Lower frequencies add body and aggression; higher frequencies add sparkle and air.

The Torpedo Captor X + includes a red status LED within the illuminated grille that provides visual feedback for specific conditions:   * Input or output stage clipping   * Active file transfers between the unit and Torpedo Remote   * System errors unrelated to the incoming audio signal

It is possible to overload either the input or output stages of the Torpedo Captor X +. When clipping occurs, the red LED will illuminate.

To determine where clipping is taking place:

• Reduce the Output Level on the Captor X + front panel or in Torpedo Remote.
• Play your instrument and observe the red LED:
  • If the LED stops lighting, the clipping was occurring at the output stage.
  • If the LED continues lighting, the clipping is occurring at the input stage.
• If input clipping is confirmed, set the IN LEVEL switch (front panel, element N°7) to LOW to activate the –15 dB input pad
• If input clipping persists even with the pad engaged, lower the amplifier’s volume until the red LED no longer illuminates.

Note: Input and output levels can also be monitored using the VU meters in Torpedo Remote.

When a file transfer is in progress between the Torpedo Captor X + and Torpedo Remote, the red LED functions as a progress indicator. It flashes in proportion to the percentage of data transferred, allowing verification that the process is proceeding normally and not stalled.

This occurs during the transfer of Virtual Cabinets, IR files, and Firmware Updates.

The red LED on the Torpedo Captor X + flashes when a firmware or system error is detected.

To distinguish a system error from input or output clipping:

• Turn off the amplifier and disconnect it from the Captor X +.
• If the LED continues to flash while the unit is unplugged from the amplifier, a system error is present.

Refer to the LED report guide here for instructions on interpreting the flash pattern. Once the LED sequence has been identified, please submit a support ticket through the Two notes Helpdesk including the transcribed LED report.

The SETUP MANAGER in Torpedo Remote provides access to the hardware configuration of the Torpedo Captor X +. This menu allows adjustment of key parameters such as:

• Audio latency
• MIDI mapping and behavior
• White LED behavior
• The tuner reference frequency (default value set at 440 Hz)

It also displays important device information, including the serial number and firmware version.

The Torpedo Captor X + supports both Program Change (PC) and Control Change (CC) MIDI commands. This enables full interaction with the unit’s parameters from any standard MIDI controller, such as a MIDI pedalboard or keyboard. In the SETUP MANAGER, the following MIDI settings can be configured:

• RECEIVE TYPE – Select whether the Captor X + is configured to receive Program Change Messages, Control Change Messages, or both.
  • Example: If only preset switching is required, CC Receive can be set to Off.
• MIDI CHANNEL – Define the channel on which the Captor X + will receive MIDI commands, or select All Channels if the transmitting channel is unknown.
• MIDI MONITOR – Use this feature to verify that the Captor X + is correctly receiving incoming MIDI commands.

Note: Refer to Section Specifications / 1 MIDI for a detailed breakdown of all available Program Change and Control Change assignments.

The Audio Performance section displays the total system latency of the Torpedo Captor X +, measured from input to output. Even at the highest setting, latency remains extremely low and imperceptible during normal playing.

Note: When multiple digital devices are used in the same signal chain, their individual latencies can accumulate and become noticeable. In such cases, reducing the latency setting may improve overall system response.

Selectable Latency Values

• 1.27 ms – with IR length set to 20 ms
• 1.94 ms – with IR length set to 40 ms
• 3.27 ms – with IR length set to 150 ms

Note: The factory default latency setting is 3.27 ms, corresponding to an IR length of 150 ms.

The Torpedo Captor X + supports the use of Two notes DynIR Virtual Cabinets, which can be previewed and managed through the Torpedo Remote (Desktop) software. When browsing cabinets in Remote, the list may appear larger than the number of cabinets currently owned or installed on the Captor X +. This is because all available DynIR cabinets can be previewed before purchase.

  The DynIR Virtual Cabinet list displays three icon types, indicating the cabinet’s source:

	Cabinets installed on the Torpedo Captor X +
	Cabinets included in the user license (stored on the computer)
	Cabinets not yet owned, which can be previewed before purchase through the Two notes Store

When previewing a licensed cabinet stored on the computer, the Remote software must first load it before parameters can be adjusted. During preview, only one microphone is available for editing. Audio continues to pass through the Captor X +, allowing normal operation while previewing.

When previewing a cabinet not included in the user’s license, random silences are inserted, and only one microphone is available for use. This feature allows evaluation of the cabinet before purchase.

	Cabinets can be added to the Store Cart by clicking the Trolley Icon with the plus sign. Repeat this process to add multiple cabinets.
	To complete a purchase, click the Trolley Icon with the green check mark, which opens the online Two notes Store.
	To remove a cabinet from the cart, click the Trolley Icon with the minus sign.

Note: For security reasons, no billing or payment information is stored within the Torpedo Remote software.

The effective impedance of the combined system—amplifier, Torpedo Captor X +, and connected speaker cabinet—that is, the impedance seen by the amplifier, varies depending on the position of the 3-position Cabinet Volume Level switch:

Throughout this manual, it is assumed that the amplifier’s output impedance matches the input impedance of the Torpedo Captor X + (for example, connecting an 8Ω amplifier output to an 8Ω Captor X +).

An impedance mismatch can occur in two common situations:

• When using a Captor X + with an impedance rating that differs from the amplifier’s output tap (for example, a 16Ω Captor X + connected to an 8Ω amplifier output)
• When the Volume Level switch is set to FULL, and the connected speaker cabinet has a different impedance than the amplifier’s output tap

If operation with a mismatch is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

• Limit mismatches to small ratios only (e.g., 4 vs 8Ω or 8 vs 16Ω).
• Avoid large mismatches such as 2 vs 8Ω, 2 vs 16Ω, or 4 vs 16Ω.
• Start at low amplifier volume and carefully monitor performance—tone, output tube color, and general stability.
• If any abnormal behavior is observed, stop immediately.
• Refer to the “Recommendations for the Correct use of a Load Box with a Tube Amplifier” in this user manual for additional safety guidance.
• For further information, consult the Two notes article on impedance mismatches which explains safe operating practices in greater detail.

Solid-state amplifiers are designed differently from tube amplifiers. They typically specify a minimum load impedance rather than requiring an exact match. This means any speaker or load box with an impedance equal to or greater than the stated minimum can be used safely. For example, an amplifier rated at “8Ω minimum” can safely drive 8Ω or 16Ω loads.

At this point, the amplifier is connected only to the external device attached to the other end of that cable. |

The Torpedo Captor X + is supplied with a MIDI 5-pin DIN (Type A) to 3.5 mm (1/8”) TRS jack adapter cable. The wiring of this cable follows the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) standard for the use of TRS connectors with MIDI devices.

Wiring configuration:

• Tip is connected to pin N°5
• Ring is connected to pin N°4
• Sleeve is connected to pin N°2

For complete specifications and technical details on the MMA TRS-MIDI standard, visit the MIDI Manufacturers Association website.

Each preset on the Torpedo Captor X + corresponds to a unique MIDI Program Change (PC) number. Preset 001 is triggered by MIDI PC #1, and so on up to MIDI PC #128, allowing direct access to all 128 available presets. This mapping enables instant recall of any preset by sending the corresponding MIDI Program Change command to Captor X +.

The following table lists the Control Change (CC) numbers assigned to each Captor X + parameter, along with their corresponding value ranges and response behaviors.
