This compact unit gives tube-amp players the best of both worlds: authentic cranked-amp tone and complete volume control.
The Two Notes Captor X is a reactive load box, cabinet simulator, and attenuator designed for players who want genuine tube feel while recording or performing silently. Plug your amp directly in, route to monitors or interface, and capture a full, mix-ready tone without miking a cab.
Whether you’re running a 100 W head in an apartment, recording late at night, or sending a consistent signal to front-of-house, the Captor X handles it effortlessly. Two Notes’ DynIR cabinet modeling gives you studio-grade impulse responses and mic placement control right from your phone or desktop app. Stereo output, adjustable ambience, and virtual mics make it sound enormous—no post-processing required.
Used by touring pros and home recordists alike, this little box lets your amp breathe without shaking the walls.
