😎 BTW, as strictly an IR loader, no FX, which one sounds better? How about as an attenuator? No FX.. Thanks.

Your IR's are too expensive. Individual cabinets/speaker typically retail for $8 each. Just sayin'... Perhaps, a 50% off discount code? Just askin'... ;-) Good luck!

@IamMusicNerd Жыл бұрын

I was shocked to learn that it only requires power for the virtual cabs and IRs. Even when it’s not plugged in, it still functions as a load box and attenuator for your amp and cabinet. That’s pretty handy. My amp already has an XLR output that I send to the DI, so I don’t have to worry about powering the Captor X on every time, unless I need the virtual cab/IR feature. The load box and attenuator are just always there working in the background, even when I forget to power it on. Very cool.

Great video, as always, Rhett! Your slide riffing on the Rivolta was absolutely stellar! I own the OX and I use it constantly, I love it so much. But I think you hit the nail on the head with this. The Captor X is such a great value with comparable features (in some ways, more features) to the ox.

@mikewentworth9819 4 жыл бұрын

The last video’s opening made me say, “DAMN, Rhett is frickin rocking out!!!”. But THIS video was ALSO rocking, but with many layers of it. So good!! And also....ALSO....the editing made your playing VERY exciting. The editing was so on point. Can’t help but wonder how your cd will sound, whenever you get around to it.

Hi, but with the ox, everyone says there is a problem with connecting and it's a bit disturbing, isn't it? I want to know already what to decide to buy for recording in the studio not for performances outside. Just for the studio. Then I noticed that there were problems with the ox connecting. So I can't decide anymore. Maybe someone can give me some good advice. Thank you

@jbbeaudry 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for that review - and what a great intro jam! It's exactly the kind of review I was looking for. I understand the Ox Box might be a bit better, but given how I want to use them (and I currently have the Captor 8 running into a IR/cab sim pedal), I will go for the Captor X

Love the music first, and talk afterwards. I own a Captor regular 8ohm version, and use it for silent recording of my tube amps at home. The version I have does not have IRs, so its more barebones, but I add IRs in the DAW, and it sounds and works well, also with pedals in the chain. I did consider the UA OX, but I didn't want to pay for the limitations also mentioned in this video, and the wifi issues in the software is an absolute dealbreaker. Id rather go for the Boss Tube Amp Expander then. But the Two Notes gear is great, and I will keep using my Captor for quite some time. Its built like a rock!

Hi Rhett - great video. I ended up buying one and love it. One thing i think you may have missed in your video was to mention the Ohms. I ordered ma 16 ohms version and then realised my old tube amp ( 1967 Fender Stageman ) is 8 ohms after ui ordered it. The shop was able to switch my order and i returned the 16 and they sent me a 8 ohms but perhaps worth mentioning. Keep up the great work man - love your channel!
