This episode is geared towards my gray haired gang who literally make up 75% of my subscribers. Guitarists who are 40+ years old and have been awesome since day one. Some guys are like me, we bypassed some things with technology and I wanted to make a video showing the few ways I personally use my Two Notes Captor. Hope this helps!

Hi! Great guide thx! Maybe an additionnal info not covered in the video is the fack that you were not using any power-supply but we could clearly see there is a DC input and a FAN. For those like me wondering, here is the official explanation from Two Notes: "Power is required only for the XLR DI output and speaker simulation." Keep up the good work man!

If you have money you choose the Captor X, BUT if you are like me and others you need to be wise and choose to best for your bucks and the Captor 8ohms is definitely the one that can give you the most option with the greatest tone for almost a cheap price!! The 8ohms can be use with all my amps, some of my heads are only 8 or 16ohms output and others are 4 and 8ohms so to be sure to be able to use the Captor with all the amp configuration I opted for the 8ohms version... Especially with 100W of rating at 8ohms, I can use 120W under 4ohms head and use the 8ohms amp output! For me it's one of the best and most simple tool you can have if you want to record or make youtube videos for example and you can even use it as a direct box for your PA👍

Dude, I'm so stupid haha. I grew up starting to play through things like line 6 UX1's and stuff, I'm 28 now. I have a captor that I've had for like two years now that I bought to record my 6505+. I tried to use the attenuator once but didn't hook it up right because I only had one speaker cable and just didn't know how to hook it up, and just thought it made no difference. I recently bought my first bass amp so I got another speaker cable and came across this video. Finally hooked up the attenuator properly and I can play the 6505+ at bedroom levels and it sounds great! Kicking myself for not knowing this earlier, so thanks for making this video! Definitely gives me a reason to keep this amp and not get rid of it!

Great video! I'm still under 30 but this stuff can still be pretty confusing to people especially if they aren't familiar with IRs and everything. The only thing I'd like to add to this video is DO NOT have your guitar amp on without a load connected. A load is either a speaker/speaker cabinet or a load box.

Just two years ago I uncovered my original MIJ 80's Ibanez and the desire to play all came back. But boy, like you said, I was timeslipped! The thought of a seven string guitar blew my mind. I'm slowly getting to grips with it a little bit at a time and this video has been a great overview of the Captor. Can you do a video on how to use a Scarlet straight into a computer and what the best speakers would be to use with it for living room level sounds please?

The manual for this unit says in attenuation mode that you need to match the amp out impedance to the Captor impedance (makes sense) but the speaker cab doesn’t matter. It’s just that if you’ve got a 16 ohm cab the attenuation will be -15db instead. Would you agree with this?

Hey man! Great explanation yet easy to understand! Since you have peavey 6505 in the background. Can I ask you question about torpedo captor (or peavey 6505)? So, the problem I'm having is i tried to connect the peavey 6505 head to torpedo captor and to audio interface. 1. I switched off the cab sim from torpedo so I can use the dry signal from 6505 to my audio interface, and use the IRs I have in my DAW. 2. I Switched off the cab sim from torpedo, then I plugged the torpedo with ts (also tried trs) cable from the "Line" output from the torpedo into my IR pedal , then go to audio interface. Both methods didn't seem to work well, the low end disappear everytime i cranked the volume past 1. And it drives me crazy honestly. Thanks in advance!

@louistorres Жыл бұрын

I'm wondering if there's something going on with the IR setting in the DAW. I use my Radar or CabM and they work fine. The only difference between what I do and you do, is that digital IR in your DAW. See if there's something that needs to be changed between the amp's volume, the Captor's volume and your IR's. :)

I’m a bit late to the show here but I had a question about this thing. When you plug headphones into it, does it sound better than plugging the headphones into the headphone jack of the amp? For reference I use the 5150 III 50W

@louistorres Жыл бұрын

Yes, absolutely it sounds better with the two notes but there's a but... If you use headphones from the amp, you're just hearing the head and whatever pedals you're using. There's no cabinet coloring... When you go guitar into EVH out to the two notes, you can now add an IR loader. For me, I'll either use the Mooer Radar and run the Mesa 412 cabinet IR or use my Two Notes CABM and again, with a Mesa 412 IR and out to headphones. If you're just looking to practice at home without waking up the family, get the mini Mooer EVH pedal and the Mooer Radar and call it a day. Now you can practice literally anywhere, get the same sound but only drag around two little pedals. That's literally what the two guitarists from Cradle of Filth do when they tour. Two guitars each and two tiny pedals. :)

@@louistorres I see. They are highly underrated and I put mine up against my 6505+ side by side and it holds its own with a boost! Hopefully you can find one a review it one day.

Im desperately looking for an affordable attenuator for my 6505+

@louistorres 2 жыл бұрын

Alas, the ones that really work the best are around $200 or so. Stay away from those $75 attenuators that work for six months then you have to buy another one. Buy once, hurt once. Buy twice, hurt twice. :)

You can run a volume pedal through your effects loop. Second master volume. I have a'96 Peavey 5150 that I am very protective of so I even called them to make sure doing this was alright. They said go ahead. That's what it's for! And depending on the style music you are playingIs going to have a direct effect on the success of your attenuator. Along with soaking power it soaks up tone too.

How much were you paid?

@louistorres Жыл бұрын

Paid? I'll show you the receipt and bought it from Sweetwater. Sometimes you're doing it wrong and blaming others and that's you in a nutshell. Like I said, could be a bad unit but if you're doing to be an asshat, then here's your hat, ya ass.

@@louistorres in my humble opinion you are all bullshit artists and the only way you lots make a living is by ripping off kids and young musicians who can ill afford the extortionate prices for old rope! All you lot have done is kill KZfaq reviews with constant bullshit, making the whole thing totally worthless and pointless!

That's odd bc I've been using this for a while now and it sounds great with recordings as well as running to my Two Notes CabM IR that go to my two 2,000 watt FRFR speakers. You may have a bad unit, which like any product, can happen. Talk to the owner instead, reach out to him when you get the chance.

How exactly do you connect to your cab m ? I got a captor 16 and cab m+ so that I can use headphones with my origin 20 and no matter what I do I get a lot of hissing etc and the app confuses the hell out of me !!
