![]() More than just a viable substitute for a collection of bulky cabs and several mics, this package simply provided a lot more sound sculpting and, ultimately, better results than I’ve almost ever achieved doing things the old-fashioned way. While the six factory-loaded presets are generally usable, the Captor X SE really comes to life once you start dialing in presets in the Torpedo Remote to suit your own playing style and genre.Īfter just 30 minutes or so spent in that pursuit, I found myself just about ready to abandon all other forms of rigs - whether physical speaker cab or digital all-amp modeling solution - in my own playing and recording. While it doesn’t allow for a whole lot of attenuation adjustment in a live or rehearsal setting, the Captor X SE is all about the cab-sim IRs and direct to front-of-house or recording interface setups, and to those ends, it utterly excels. The manual calls the middle position “Club” and the lower position “Home,” while no attenuation is called “Stadium,” and I’d say that’s about right. I was also surprised to find there’s no indication what decibel reduction each of the two attenuated positions delivers. ![]() Even with the two sub-20-watt amps - never mind the 50-watt Friedman - the red overload light flashed easily and often when the unit was set to the low input mode (high and low meaning the reverse of what you might assume).įortunately, there were no issues with that button in the high position, and I detected no audible overload. ![]() The Torpedo Captor X packs a lot of analog and digital I/O options in its compact panel (Image credit: Two Notes) I tested the Torpedo Captor X SE with a variety of guitars at the back end of a Friedman Small Box head, a 65Amps London head and a tweed Deluxe-style combo, occasionally into one of a number of guitar cabs but mostly into headphones or connected to Pro Tools and the studio monitors via a Universal Audio Apollo Twin Duo interface. While a pair of Neutrik-style combined XLR and ¼-inch outputs would be handy for those not connecting to an XLR-equipped stage, and some form of delay effect would make the Torpedo Remote’s post-effects suite complete, perhaps that’s nitpicking. That’s a lot going on in a box about the size of a dual effects pedal. Highlights include the ability to swap and fine-tune the 32 DynIR cabinets included with the software (or substitute third-party IRs) capture sounds from them with pairs of virtual microphones individually selectable from eight classics within 13 studio-grade room simulations add post-effects processing for stereo image, parametric EQ, reverb (12 room emulations plus spring, plate and custom) and more and even access a built-in tuner.Ī nifty Twin Tracker feature offers automatic double tracking (ADT) with variable width and depth at the touch of a button on any preset you set up, adding gobs of thickness and dimension to an already big tone. ![]() While Captor X SE works without Torpedo Remote, the software opens up astounding levels of user control and is essential for crafting your own presets rather than merely sticking with the six loaded from the factory. → Read all 78 customer reviews Please note: Capture One Styles are only supported with Capture One 10.1.2 and newer versions.As handy as these are, it all gets a lot more powerful once you access the Torpedo Remote editing software via USB to your computer, or wirelessly from your phone or tablet.
