Love the Smokey in the Captor X. I will have to try that wiht my own Smokey here. Merci !

Nice knowledge. A little frightening to see how good you made the 9v amp sound, but also enlightening for those of us who really do want to use a tube amp and get the best sound for recording or pa without the headaches. Cool work.

Just a note when you blend cabinets and mic signals, make sure to align phases of the recorded audio to prevent unwanted frequency cancellations. You can do this with a plug-in, or zoom in and slide the captor tracks until they line up with the Mic'ed signal.

Don’t kid yourself Jay, you are a rock star 🙌

I've been using preamps & the Torpedo CAB for years. The versatility, quietness when necessary & not carrying 100s of lbs convinced me. I do miss the rumble from a 4x12 tho. 😁

@9:10 It's awesome to see how different sound a real cab well miced vs IRs. Sooo interesting

I gave this a thumbs up for the Television cover alone!

Great playing as always - Need to by one (but I need before a Blues Jr.) | Thanks 🙌🏼

Amazing tips and playing! I just got my captor x to use with my old tube amps. Bit done with my kemper tbh! It's a completely new world but I dialed up a couple of nice sounds in minutes using IRs and the two notes cabinet modelling.

I haven't been mic'ing amps since I got into using IRs. Since I record in apartments or shared living space I'm restricted on my options. Having said that, I don't miss it at all. Now the Two Notes allows for blended mics and the Captor X has a dry out, I pretty much have all the tools needed to achieve the same results.

hands down this is the best gear purchase ive made

Excellent job

You get 5 stars just for that great rendition of Television's See No Evil (and using the song in the first place!)! :D

ive been running stereo out and sending one side into my UAD Ocean Wave studio plugin. Creates this really wide, super real and dimensional sound. Honestly its closer to the sound I hear in my head when trying to capture an amp in a room than any mic setup Ive used at home. That second sound example you showed is really close to the results I achieved

Hi Jay, Thanks so much for giving these clean clear examples that allows us to hear how the amps/mics etc sound; so many of the examples on YT have distortion and other effects added and quite frankly for me, the sound of the captor gets lost or buried in the "mush" - Good examples and good playing my friend.

You crushed that cover

I have no need for such a device...but all the tones you're getting are great...and your playing is killer as always.

Awesome playing. That captor x is certainly cool. Love the Tele too

Yeah, Television!

A Cubase guy. I like you even more… Haha! Thanks for the video J and you sold me on the Captor X. Especially for the price and features! WOW!!! Best✌🏼

Nice Westwood guitars

Great playing.

Jay I've seen this vid several times. I now have a CaptorX and have 1 question: For the 1st type "Multi Amp in a Box Pedal setup" where are you taking the recording line from? CaptorX XLR Left? Right? or Both? in Stereo? Is it different for the different types of setups 1. Multi Amp Pedal, 2, Cab Blending & 3.With Toys. Are you recording all of these Type with both Left & Right XLR Outs? Much appreciated!!!

I’m in the drawer now looking for my Smokey amp. Rock n’ Roll.🎸😂🇦🇺👍

Love your unique approach to all this great gear!

Dude I love your channel, found out two days ago and been watching all your videos!! Why is youtube not suggesting these positive channels full of good content more often?!

Might you do a video of how to do the midi cab switcher setup for noobs like myself? Thanks for the vid and these super cool ideas! Two notes should be happy with you because now I ready want one!

The only demo where a guy has mic'd up real cabs and done A/b tone tests and used the attenuator.

Well done. Great video!

What a genius idea!

Great video, great playing, and great representation of what is possible. I have a Mark V 25 and a Line 6 Stomp, the cab clone in the Mark V is trash so Im considering a Torpedo Captor X.

Awesome! In one of your answers you said that in method one pedals go directly to cab m ( captor x I think). I tought the preamp pedals were in the amp return. Can you describe the routing setup for this? Thanks a lot

hey, is it safe to run a guitar with just a pedal into the captor? i thought it listed that its dangerous to have a super low input signal without an amp. whats the signal chain exactly? thanks!

Outstanding video - thanks.

Dude , you're awesome!! sounds f good!!

Just ..... wow... awesome !!!!!!!!

Hey there! At 4:25 I see you play through custom IRs. Can you please explain why there are two IRs there? Am I being correct assuming that it is like putting two mics near cabinet (or different cabinets, depending on particular IR)? For instance, if I choose the same IR for A and B, it is like exact same cabinet and mic mixed into one audio stream?

Great video! Does the coolingsystem of this unit make noises like the older version? Cheers!

I was a little confused, you kept referring to the 'silver jen' setting as a BF/Deluxe setting. I have the Captor and I assumed the Silver Jen was a SilverFace Fender, no?

I’m curious if there is any delay/gap when switching cabinets via midi, say for live playing.

Nice video, as always... I am new in that IR stuff.. In studio or live Situations: do i have to make an equalizer setup or is that captor x an PLUG N PLAY thing?

9:10 Awesome!

Good stuff 😎

I’ve got a captorx I used it for one session - now I use it as a door wedge. It’s a pretty good door wedge. Good weight.

Nice Video, thanks. Question: What was the cable configuration you used to run everything into the Captor (the real amp and the pedal amps) at the same time?

WAS NOT EXPECTING TO HEAR TELEVISON. 😊

Awesome

shoutout See No Evil

First :-)... Very very nice video as usual :-)!

Sweet

what model is the red guitar in the thumbnail?

Hi Paul, I hope you can help me. I often follow you and I am an Italian guitarist from Venice. I'm writing to ask you for advice on Toneking Ironman II mini: I have a Fender Deluxe Reverb RI that I love but it's too loud and I can't get it to breakup at low volumes. I am considering getting an attenuator and I have seen the Toneking. I'm undecided: the Torpedo Captor X has many useful features but I'm afraid that the attenuation section is more limited and less qualitative than Toneking. What would you advise me? My goal is to be able to use the fender at vol 4/5 to make my drives work well, but the features of the torpedo could also be very useful. Obviously if you confirm that the torpedo is as good as an attenuator as much as the toneking, I will take the torpedo. Thanks, I hope you can help me.

Thank you for this great video. This will be very helpfu! I just bought a Two Notes Torpedo because I could never get a real tube amp tone with my Helix Native plugin, but I have a question; I would like to run the amp into my Logic Pro DAW and through Helix so that I can use the great many Helix effects, but not its amps. Can you tell me how you are doing this? Do you just create a patch with no amp of cabs? Not sure how to approach this.

If I can play that well and knew that much savvy ... 😎

Ok, wait on the first set up - Was the Deluxe Reverb the only 'sound' that went through amp power section? Pedals went direct (DI) to interface?

What PA Speaker are you using? Can I plug the torpedo directly into a PA and travel just with the amp head and captorX? Thanks!

J - when you recorded this video where was sound coming from that you heard in room? Del Reverb speaker or powered monitors connected via your audio interface?

Awesome video! Just curious as to why the Captor X has gone up in price recently?

Can you use the captor x to attenuate the volume of your amp into a cab? I know you don't need one but I'm curious

Noice!!!

Great video and tones but can you explain to a DI newbie what you are using to actually hear the Torpedo cab sims while you are playing? Are you using studio monitors? If you could explain your signal chin that would be great. Thanks!

im just here for the riffs

Just got one but can't play my Deluxe Reverb and even worse my 57 Deluxe at higher volumes without red-light clipping on the Captor. The distortion on the 57 is a disappointment. I'm thinking the Captor is made for amps with a lot more headroom than I have in my two Fenders.

Hi Thanks a lot ! Important question : you do without amp ? guitar/preamp/captor/line(or headphone) ? thanks a lot for your help

7:40 what chord progression is this

how can you use a préamp pédal straigth in it without a poweramp ?

How did you hook up the Bassman (that has a 4 Ohm speaker output) to the 8 Ohm Captor X? (As far as I know silverface Bassman amps have only 4 Ohm speaker outputs.)

See No Evil!!

See no evil!

I seeeeeeee no evil

For the "Multi Amp in a Box Pedal setup", did the revival drive and falcon go direct to the captor X? or both pedals go to the 65 deluxe amp first then use the cab sim/ ir of captor x? thanks a lot :)

*ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS.................... "If you run a LINE LEVEL SIGNAL, from a audio interface into the CAPTOR X, does the unit still provide a reactive-load + the IR. Or will it only provide the IR at that point, without tons of electricity shooting into it?*

That bluesy Rockabilly riff at 6:57 was off the hook!!

What IRs were you using for the Alnico Tweed example at about 4:10?

television!!!

Smokies sounds the best of all yikes
