Unlock the full potential of your tube amplifier with the Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 Ohms, a versatile tool that bridges the gap between robust sound and practical volume control. This compact, pedalboard-friendly device is your all-in-one solution for attenuating amp power, capturing direct recordings, and simulating speaker cabinets with precision. Whether you're on stage, in the studio, or practicing at home, the Torpedo Captor ensures you can push your amp to its sweet spot without disturbing the peace.

Designed to sit seamlessly between your amp head and speaker cabinet, the Torpedo Captor handles up to 100 watts of power, making it ideal for most guitar amplifiers. Its reactive load technology mimics the impedance of a real speaker cabinet, ensuring your amp believes it's connected to the real thing. This means you can enjoy the dynamics of your amplifier without a physical cab. For those seeking silent practice or recording, the built-in analog speaker simulation derived from the acclaimed Le Preamp series offers a range of tones directly to your PA or recording interface.

The Captor also features a -20dB attenuation, allowing you to crank your amp at manageable volumes. It supports flexible connectivity with balanced XLR and line outputs, making it suitable for both live and recorded settings. Plus, with the included Two Notes Wall of Sound plugin, you gain access to 16 virtual cabinets, expanding your tonal possibilities even further.
