Hello, please by VERY careful running bass amps through the Captor X... it’s rated at 100 watts RMS - the SVT can produce upwards of 400 watts as well as many other bass amps.
If you run through to a cab with the attenuation turned off, it should be ok, as the Captor isn’t really converting any signal into heat… Obviously this won’t allow for silent recording though.
Sepultura 🤘🏼 riff was refuse / resist! Thanks for doing a demo for the captor. This is the only video I could find featuring bass. I’m going to try my Terror bass 500 with the captor. At 8 ohms it’s only 250 watts. If I keep the volume reasonable I’m not going to hurt anything. Two Notes says they play 500 watt SS heads through the device often without issue
I have a fender super bassman and I purchased a genzler 410-3 and I couldn't be more pleased. Love the look of the fridge but it won't fit in my car. This 410 is fantastic and better sounding than any ampeg I've played through.
@@ursaminor3057 it's good to look outside of the box of what is commonly considered "the best". I've recently tried a marshall bass 4x12, not a common choice and it's definitely an interesting sound.
@@WatchingMamut yeah definitely. It's a killer time to be a bassist. Want heavy? You can find them at solid deals. Want ultra portable? Tons of those out there, too. My amp isn't light but it's not going to break my back either. Tons of great options right now that won't break the bank.
I wish they would create one for more than 200 watts. It would be perfect for my SVT II non pro (300 watts). I wanted to try it, but after this video I wont take the risk. The juice really starts if you really turn the svt up all the way....
They should make something for bassists to use between the cab and head. Everything is amp sim snd preamp. There’s nothing for cab emulation WITH an actual existing amp head. My terror bass is 200 watts at 8 ohms so I’m tempted to try and just keep the volume moderate

I second what Justin Byrant stated. Also the SVT Classic is 2 or 4 ohms. Impedance miss matching can damage the head or/and the Captor X. This is very dangerous.
Hey, I own a fender batsman 100, I've just purchased this load box, sounds amazing! Where do you plug the other power breaker? In the speaker out of the two notes? Thx!
Is it the amp/preamp that sounds so good, or the interface/box? Or some combination? Because this sounds as deep, warm and tubish as it gets. In other words, it sounds amazing and I wouldn’t record using anything else for that tone.
you need an 8 Ohms Captor and an additional 8 Ohms attenuator. When the amps has a 4 ohms out, it means you can also connect 2x8 Ohms in parallel. So one speaker out goes to the captor, the other one to the attenuator
Hi Gregor! Wie immer, großartiges Review! Kann der Captor eigentlich über die Wall of Sound App auch auf eine bestimmte Cab eingestellt und zB live dann “stand-alone” (ohne Laptop/iPad o.ä.) eingesetzt werden?
Anyone watching this in hope for there svt cl/vr to record silent. Don’t do it you will regret it. But there is a guy on reverb Julius music box who can make you a load box that will work for the 300 watts of power and also include a Jensen di so you can use a two notes cab m+ with out blowing up your amp.
"in it you will find a lot of guitar crap that you can delete easily and then you are left with only the good stuff" 🤣🤣🤣 although I also play guitar as my second instrument I laughed a lot to this. By the way why didn't you liked Eden's 1x15 cab I wonder? I was very pleasantly surprised playing that cab
Great vid! I have an Orange AD 200 Bass MK 3 (200 Watts Tube Head), can I connect it to the Torpedo Captor X without risking blowing my amp? I read that it handles a max of 100 watts (on guitars) so I'm not sure if it's safe to use it with my Orange head for silent recording.
OK, odd question could this work with my kemper? I use my kemper with and 8x10 Andy question would this be great to use between to turn down the volume?!

Just don't use them with full volume

You funked those riffs up so much I almost didn't notice it was Sepultura
3:05 In it you'll find lots of guitar crap that you can delete easily and then you're left with only the... GOOD STUFF

Nothing better than a P-bass and a Ampeg SVT.
Yeah, I agree on nothing is better but my p-bass and mesa 400+ is definitely not worse ;) oh and lets not forget 8x10 "the fridge"
@@WatchingMamut can't have a SVT without the fridge. Love my heritage 810. More than what I need, but what ever.

It would be gigantic and very heavy

I so need one of those! I was bad though...the Spector was on sale so had to buy it! That's my story and I am sticking to it!🤣😂
Thank you so much for doing this video
hello Gregor , nice video have a nice day
Alles schön und gut, aber wo hast Du das Shirt her!?!
Very cool, versatile unit.

cool Gregor. great tones....

You can combine multiple units to match it to the right impedance

we used 3 amps in this video. the captor x sounds fantastic with each one of them
Best tone ever....
My Ampeg B25B is a 16ohm speaker output. I notice you have the 8ohm version of this (there is also a 16ohm). I guess the 8ohm will work as well.
You can make it 8 ohms if you put a dummy plug in the 2nd output
Can you explain in more detail how to use a second attenuator with the captor x for 4 ohm amps? Exactly what is the signal chain? Thanks
you need an 8 Ohms Captor and an additional 8 Ohms attenuator. When the amps has a 4 ohms out, it means you can also connect 2x8 Ohms in parallel. So one speaker out goes to the captor, the other one to the attenuator

I have a Marshall VBA-400 this is 400watt with output of 2 & 4 ohms , what will be good to used the 16 or 8 ohms

You can combine it with a second (cheap) attenuator, then it’s safe to use with the Ad200
OK, odd question could this work with my kemper? I use my kemper with and 8x10 Andy question would this be great to use between to turn down the volume?!
I just hope you’re kidding. Turn the volume down. The kemper is digital and doesn’t need to be played loud to achieve a certain sound
So did the X replace the CAB M now for you?
In most cases, yes
makes me wanna come to your studio take that p bass with this setup and play herbie hancock records
Thrust
I got a great deal on a ampeg svt classic. Highly recommend to give one a try.
Can someone explain me the technique of putting a mic behind the cab? I am interested to know what does change...thanks!🤟🏻
that's mostly for open back guitar cabs and rarely the only mic used
@@basstheworldofficial oh okay. Thanks🤟
My god ! if this is the future of music, I won't make any children.
This is a reasonable solution though it still doesn't match the real thing setup and recorded well.
R.I.P. Joe Dart. He funked too hard.
