Two Notes Torpedo Captor 4 Compact Loadbox, Amp DI and Attenuator (4 Ohm)

The Two Notes Torpedo Captor 4 is a multi-functional audio device designed for guitarists and recording engineers who use tube amplifiers. It combines four essential studio and live tools into a single compact unit: a reactive loadbox, a DI (Direct Input) box, a power attenuator, and a cabinet simulator. This allows players to safely capture the full tone of their valve amplifiers at any volume, from silent recording to live performance, without needing to connect to a physical speaker cabinet. The unit employs reactive load technology, which accurately mimics the impedance response of a real speaker, making the amplifier behave as if it's connected to a cabinet. This preserves the amp's natural tone and feel. Its built-in analogue speaker simulation is based on Two Notes' acclaimed 'Le Preamp' circuit, delivering warm and authentic cabinet tones. Key operational modes include a speaker thru for full-volume playing, a -20dB attenuation setting for reduced volume, and a completely silent mode for headphone practice or direct recording into a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). It is specifically designed for amplifiers with a 4-ohm output impedance and can handle up to 100W RMS, with fan cooling for reliability. This device is ideal for home studio musicians seeking silent recording capabilities, gigging musicians needing consistent stage volume control, and anyone wanting to reduce the weight and noise of their rig. By connecting directly to an audio interface or mixer via its balanced XLR or 1/4" line outputs, it simplifies the recording process and offers great flexibility. The included Wall of Sound III software plugin provides access to 16 virtual cabinets, expanding tonal options further. Its compact, DI-sized enclosure makes it highly portable for various musical settings.
