This is the single best piece of gear I’ve purchased in the last few years. It made all of my tube amps come to life by being able to crank them a little bit more and my live sound is incredibly easy and super consistent. If you already have amps and pedals this is the way to go. I almost gave up and went the digital route. I purchased a Helix and subsequently returned it. It’s great for what it is, but if you already have nice amps, this is much nicer.

I'm very late to this party, but I just got a Captor X myself! The Strymon Iridium was up for sale the next day... This thing is THE ANSWER I have been looking for. No fiddling, no having to play god, it just sounds good right out of the gate. Worth EVERY PENNY! I tried so hard to love the Iridium, using it in every possible way I could utilize it and it just never sounded or worked right. if you are even thinking of getting the Captor X, just do it already. It is that good.

John, I brought mine a few weeks ago and use it with vox ac30c2. In my case it's very useful because I divorce and live now in a small apartment. The neighbors issues that l have is solve. They don't have to come tomy door and ask me to turn down the sound of my amplifier. I really enjoy guitar playing with a real amp and instead of HX-STOMP for example. But l still love my hx-stomp, BTW l still have to update my HX-Stomp. Answer is it worth YES. Thanks for this video 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

I see you have always just been an amazing guitarist. I just placed an order on a captor x, and while waiting for it, I was curious to know how the stereo out functions, as far as I have researched, stereo is only possible with two different guitar amps, so now this is all intriguing to me.

Very nice playing and tones. You could use the California Tweed from Two Notes with your amp as well. The Captor X has been a game changer for me, I was looking at the Kemper, I don't even think about it anymore.

Had mine since they were released. Here’s a rig idea for you. Amp into Captor X, set Captor X to dual mono. Run the left XLR to your interface and play back through monitors. Bypass the right XLR output and feed it to your Line 6 Powercab ( or don’t bypass and use the monitor setting on your Powercab) great wet dry set up.

Very tasty intro and outro jams as always John! I'm guessing you used some kind of an overdrive/distortion pedal...would you mind telling what did you use?

So the intro was literally just the gain channel on that phoenix amp I think, with the California tweed (outro) I was kicking in a J rockett HRM and Dude!

Is the -20db setting usable on stage or rehearsal? I have a Fender Bandmaster, which is about 35 watts, and I can't turn it up to the sweet spot.

What are you thoughts on the Captor-X vis-a-vis the Boogie CabClone? I thought the CabClone sounded pretty good in your earlier post on it, but it would appear the CabClone requires more knowledge of how EQ/IRs work "in the mix" to replicate a good sound. Captor-X can make a lot of decisions for you??

I've been borrowing one from a student for a few weeks. It sucks. Oh, not the Captor X, it's fantastic. What sucks is that I'm gonna have buy one and explain to my kids why they won't be getting a PS5 for Christmas. Super useful for me and the headphone experience is excellent.

I just got one. How do I bypass the presets? It will only let me play through one of their presets and I don't like the sound of them. The twin tracker is most neutral except for the tracking but I can't just play without one of their presets it seems, which often includes one of their overdrive effects or reverb. Their gain is not to my liking, I just want to here my amp through an emulated cab.

I tried one out for a while , wasnt happy with the attenuator as only has limited settings and not variable. In stead went for the Cab M Torpedo with an external variable load box. Will prob change that to an OX...
