What is the difference between Captor X and Captor X Plus

What’s new in Captor X +

Captor X + is the latest leap forward in Two notes’ iconic load box lineage — a ground-up evolution built for players who demand total control over their tube amp, without the limitations of traditional cabinets, volume constraints, or unpredictable mic’ing setups.

With an all-new Virtual Load Shaper, a True Stereo DynIR™ Engine, enhanced routing capability and USB-C connectivity, Captor X + takes everything guitarists loved about the original Captor X and pushes it into a new era of creative freedom.

Below, you’ll find an overview of the new features introduced in this update.

True Stereo DynIR™ Engine

The True Stereo DynIR™ Engine introduces a powerful new way to expand Captor X +’s direct outputs.
  1. Independent Mic Placement and Panning
  2. In Captor X +’s Stereo Mode, Position and pan two microphones (or static IRs) independently within the stereo field to transform your direct signal into a three-dimensional soundstage.
  3. Dual Mono Routing
  4. In Captor X +’s Dual Mono Mode, Send each mic to its own output, with access to an independent mic- and Post-FX Suite for precise tonal control. The Post FX Suite available for each Mic Channel includes a Mic EQ, a mono Enhancer, a Mono Reverb and an Output EQ

Virtual Load Shaper

The Virtual Load Shaper introduces a powerful new way to refine your Captor X +’s direct outputs.
  1. Post-Load Impedance Curves
  2. By applying either a custom user generated preset, or one of the expertly designed stock preset post-load impedance curves, the Virtual Load Shaper reshapes the tonal character of your amp’s signal after the internal hardware load stage.
  1. Direct Outputs Only
  2. These tonal refinements are applied exclusively to your XLR and headphone feeds, while your companion cabinet connection remains completely unaffected.
