Description

here at Just Pedals we love this Two Notes Torpedo Captor 4 Compact Loadbox and Amp DI.

Unveiled at NAMM 2017, French manufacturer Two Notes Audio Engineering combine a DI box, attenuator, cab simulator and loadbox into one amazing unit.

The Torpedo Captor is an incredibly versatile piece of kit, allowing you to harness the full power of your tube amp in any settings – you can use it at home, in the studio, in rehearsal or live on stage. It either processes your signal 100% uninterrupted at full volume, or with a preset -20dB attenuation, and allows you to seamlessly mimic your favourite cabs without the associated hassle. Play or record in total silence but with the full projecting power of a 4×12 – plug straight into your favourite DAW and let the Torpedo Captor do the work!

Using reactive technology, its loadbox functionality is designed to make your amp believe it's connected to a cabinet, perfectly mimicing the impedance of a speaker. The analogue speaker sim function is built on Two Notes acclaimed 'Le Preamp', for mind blowing accurate tone and warmth. Available in 4, 8 or 16 Ohm versions to match your amp, you'll be able to find that sweet spot without the noise or hassle!
