Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 Ohm Compact Loadbox and Amp DI

The Two Notes Torpedo Captor is a compact, multi-functional audio device designed for guitarists and recording musicians. It combines four essential studio and live functions into a single unit: a reactive loadbox, power attenuator, cabinet simulator, and DI box. This allows players to use their favourite tube amplifiers in virtually any environment, from silent home recording to live stage performances, without compromising on tone or requiring extensive microphone setups. The unit employs Two Notes' proprietary reactive load technology, which presents your amplifier with an impedance curve that accurately mimics a real speaker cabinet. This ensures the amplifier behaves as if connected to a traditional cab, preserving the dynamic response and tonal characteristics that tube amplifiers are known for. The built-in analogue speaker simulation is derived from the company's acclaimed 'Le Preamp' circuitry, providing warm, authentic cabinet tones. Available in specific impedance versions (4, 8, or 16 ohms) to match different amplifiers, this 8-ohm model can handle up to 100W RMS and offers a -20dB attenuation option for volume control. Ideal for home studio musicians, live performers using in-ear monitors, and anyone needing to record amplifiers silently, the Torpedo Captor simplifies the process of direct recording and ampless setups. It connects between your amplifier head and speaker cabinet (or directly from a combo amp's speaker output) and provides multiple outputs including a balanced XLR DI out for connection to mixing consoles or audio interfaces. The compact, DI-box-sized enclosure makes it highly portable, offering professional-grade tone shaping and load management without the bulk of traditional speaker cabinets.
