It's Impossible to Connect Pedals/Multi-Effects to Captor X's SPEAKER IN

It's Impossible to Connect Pedals/Multi-Effects to Captor X's SPEAKER IN

Captor X is specifically engineered for amplifier use, accommodating both tube and solid-state designs.

Connecting pedals, multi-effects, or devices producing a line-level signal from their output is not feasible. The signal's level (usually between 0.3-2 Volts) and its high impedance are incompatible with Captor X's SPEAKER IN.

While connecting a pedal, multi-effects unit, or line-level device to the SPEAKER IN won't cause damage to Captor X, it will not transfer any signal to the Torpedo.
