5.2 Torpedo Captor X at home
5.2.1 Silent use
The Torpedo Captor X is a reactive load box. This allows you to play your tube amp without using a
cabinet. This is ideal at home to record at any time of the day or night practice, etc. You just need to
connect your amp to the SPEAKER IN of the Torpedo Captor X. You can listen to your tube amps
through the headphones output, or with your monitors using the XLR DI outputs.
5.2.2 With a cabinet
With the attenuator, it is possible to reduce the level of your physical cabinet suitable for home
playing with up to 38dB of attenuation. Connect your cabinet to the SPEAKER OUT of the Torpedo
Captor X. None of the effects or cab sim within the unit (Enhancer, Reverb, Twin Tracker, EQ) can be
heard through the cabinet. You need to connect the XLR DI outputs to an audio interface or a mixing
desk to listen to the audio treatment of the Torpedo Captor X on monitors.
5.3 Torpedo Captor X on stage
5.3.1 Using the Dual Mono routing
With Torpedo Remote, you can set the Torpedo Captor X to send 2 different signals out of the XLR
outputs. Select the DUAL MONO routing with the purple button above the Output level knob (see
section 4.4 for output routings). The signal going out of the unit can have a different eq and a
different reverb level in DUAL MONO routing. See section 4.4.2 for all the options. You can send one
signal to the Front Of House and the other to the monitors. The Voicing knob impacts both outputs.
5.3.2 With a cabinet
With the attenuator, it is possible to dim the level of your physical cabinet. The halfway position is
suitable for stage levels with its 20dB of attenuation. Your cabinet will be an added source to monitor
your sound. Connect your cabinet to the SPEAKER OUT of the Torpedo Captor X. None of the effects or
cab sim within the unit (Enhancer, Reverb, Twin Tracker, EQ) can be heard through the cabinet.
5.4 Torpedo Captor X in the studio
5.4.1 Using the "Bypass Torpedo Processing"
The DUAL MONO routing also allows you to send a dry signal of the incoming amp signal through the
right output of the Torpedo Captor X. Click on the BYPASS button above the fader of the RIGHT
channel. This will bypass the whole Torpedo processing of the unit. The dry amp signal will allow you
