11:09 That twin-tracker width is great! Explanation - if you send exactly the same signal to your left ear and right ear there will be no stereo effect. Entropy sort of means randomness. That means the twin tracker is making lots of tiny random time variations to the left and right signals so that you don't hear things at exactly the same time in the left and right ear. The effect is to make it seem to your ears like the sound is coming from different places. It isn't the notes that is important. It is the timing. A note that arrives at your left ear a fraction of a millisecond after arriving at your right ear sounds like it is over there (points to the far right corner of bedroom). Cool demo, Bea.

I am so loving my new Captor X. I was ready to get rid of my Marshall DSL40c as I could just never enjoy the tone. Even at the intolerable volume level that everyone knows a tube amp needs to be at, I just didn't care for it. I even replaced the 70/80 stock speaker with a Creamback and it was a little better, but it was never inspiring to play. That has all changed now that I'm sending it through the Captor X. I even love the clean channel now!!

Massive fan your playing! I play completely different things, and I honestly find a lot of modern metal, even the progressive stuff, really daft. Genrewise you're hard to pin down, but I guess those are the labels that fit your stuff - ..yet I find your playing is super interesting, your melodic stuff, harmonizing, phrasing, always melody over scales.. TOP NOTCH stuff. THanKs fOr shaRiNg the music.

@travismiller7679 8 ай бұрын

The captor x absorbs energy from the power amp. That energy has to go somewhere so it's dispersed in the form of heat. That's why you hear the fan kick on during playing. You can literally hear it rev up with every chug. It's necessary for the unit to be able to absorb the power without burning out components.

In physics terms entropy is the randomness or un-orderedness in a system, the lowest energy state that everything moves towards. I don‘t really know how _that_ applies to the setting tho… 😅

@shreeshsk 4 жыл бұрын

I believe it is the degree of change (randomness) from the original track when you are twin tracking adding a millisecond delay between them. As Bea increased the entropy, the presence of a second track became more obvious.

So, is it nicer than the Iridium?

@BadMofoMusicCritic Жыл бұрын

@@rasmusvadavlund7270 it’s different. It’s very good at getting your amp into a monitor for quiet playing or recording. I’d say overall it’s probably slightly more authentic than the iridium in terms of tone and feel. However, I’ve moved back to the iridium. It’s just easier for me. I don’t need to re-rig up my amp taking it back and forth from the studio etc. And i save the tubes by just flicking on the iridium. Further, you get more variety in the iridium compared to using your amps through the captor. Both are great gear. Just depends on what your needs and priorities are. I like simple. The iridium is perfect right now.

Rabea, please excuse the question not being related to this video. But I'm interested in buying the VX100 and was wondering if you know for how long will these be in production for, before they stop being made? Like for example, it's gonna take me about 10 full months to save up for one. Idk, you might not be able to disclose when MK is going to start phasing them out, but if you are will it be end of 2020 when they start doing that? Cheers x

@timolonnberg3205 2 жыл бұрын

Would this be best for me? Briefly: I play edrums and guitar at home and play/record mainly using headphones. I have pedals, few amps, steinberg audiointerface, iMac/Ableton/BIASFX, mixer(where I plug the headphones), old Roland poweramp for speakers and studiomonitors. (+edrums). But for the guitar tone, I love the tube amp sound even in my own cover recordings and playing thru headphones. I just bought dark terror Orange amp which dont have cabsim. Do I need one? And would this be the right product? And Thanks for your very best reviews. You are very very clear and share your knowledge very professional way👍

Hi Rabea, first really thank you for everything you did and what you do, i'm really happy to discovered your bands and your channel. I have a question about the ohm with the super kraken and the captor, because the captor is made for 8 ohm amps and the super kraken is an 16 ohm so how do you plug them? or maybe is it better to have an 16 ohm captor X ? I know that you have other things to do but i'm really lost with this and how to do it , i have a super kraken and i don't want to make a mistake or buy the wrong thing. Thank you to answer, Bastien.

I've watched a lot of videos of people reviewing this box and comparing it with others and was disappointed in the others because it seemed to lack low end. However, this video proves that you should watch as many videos as you can find. This video shows you don't need to spend $1,000 to go direct and achieve studio quality recording. Learn your gear! You can have thousands or hundreds invested but it doesn't mean shit if you don't know how to use it. I am curious though, did you use the 16 ohm or 8 ohm and does it make a difference when running direct?
