The Captor X+ is the latest evolution of Two Notes' reactive load box platform, and it packs a serious amount of capability into a compact, road-ready enclosure. At its core, it's a 100-watt reactive load box and three-step attenuator built for 16-ohm tube amps, but that only scratches the surface of what it actually does.The headline upgrades over the original Captor X are the True Stereo DynIR engine and the new Virtual Load Shaper. The DynIR engine lets you independently position and pan two virtual microphones across the stereo field, creating a genuine three-dimensional soundstage from your mono amp signal — whether you're running True Stereo or Dual Mono routing. The Virtual Load Shaper applies post-load impedance curves to reshape the tonal character of your direct signal without affecting your connected cabinet, giving you a set of purpose-built tonal profiles that add warmth, tighten the low end, or push upper-mid bite.The unit ships with 32 DynIR virtual cabinets covering guitar and bass, each loaded with 8 microphones and 13 room simulations. You get 128 preset slots with 6 quick-access locations right on the hardware, and the full effects suite includes reverb (12 models), a Twin Tracker double-tracking engine, semi-parametric EQ, an enhancer, noise gate, and a tuner. The static IR loader supports up to 512 custom IR files with lengths up to 200ms at a minimum latency of 1.27ms.Control happens through the Torpedo Remote app — wirelessly via phone or tablet over Bluetooth, or over USB-C on a computer. Hardware controls for Voice and Space give you fast access to global tone shaping and stereo width without reaching for the app. All outputs — headphones, dual XLR, and speaker — operate simultaneously and independently, so you can run your cab on stage while sending a fully processed stereo signal to front of house or your recording interface.A lifetime GENOME license is included, giving you access to Two Notes' full plugin ecosystem for in-the-box recording and tone shaping through your DAW.Type: Reactive Load Box / Attenuator / DynIR Cab Sim / IR Loader / Stereo ExpanderImpedance: 16 OhmMaximum Admissible Power: 100W RMSAttenuation Levels: -38 dB (Home), -20 dB (Club), 0 dB (Stadium)Included DynIR Virtual Cabinets: 32 (+ 3 bonus on registration)Microphones per Cabinet: 8Room Simulations: 13Preset Locations: 128 (6 quick-access on hardware)IR Loader Memory Slots: 512Maximum IR Length: 200msStereo Modes: True Stereo, Dual MonoSpeaker Input: 1/4" Jack Unbalanced (TS)Speaker Output: 1/4" Jack Unbalanced (TS)Headphones Output: 1/4" Jack Balanced (TRS)Left / Right Outputs: XLR Balanced (Max Output Level: 15 dBu / Impedance: 600 Ohms)MIDI Input: 1/8" Jack Balanced TRS (Jack to MIDI cable adapter supplied)USB Connector: USB-C (USB-C to USB-A cable supplied)AD/DA Converters: 24-bit / 96 kHzInternal Processing: 32-bit Floating-PointBandwidth (-1dB): 30 Hz – 19 kHzSignal-to-Noise Ratio: > 95 dBMinimum Latency: 1.27ms (Speaker Input to Left/Right Outputs)Onboard Effects: Virtual Load Shaper, Enhancer, Twin Tracker, Reverb (12 models), Mic EQ (5-band semi-parametric), Output EQ (Dual Mono only), Voicing, Noise Gate, TunerPower Input: DC Connector, 2.1mm x 5.5mm, Center NegativeSupplied Power Adapter: 100-240V AC to 12V DC 2AIncluded Software: GENOME Lifetime LicenseDimensions: 12.8cm x 17.5cm x 6.4cm (5" x 6.7" x 2.5", including connectors and knobs)Weight: 1300 g / 2.9 lbs
