Jamie, I just wanted to mention here that I studied your Fretboard navigator LL series more than 10 years ago, and it's the most useful guitar video lessons I ever took. Thank you for that!
Thanks!! I shall be reshooting a lot of my old material, as well as updating the content when we launch the Six String Alliance academy.
Only halfway through and I'd like to say, great review my man! I've watched dozens of these in anticipation for my own Captor X, and I think I enjoyed your demo the most. Great tones out of that little Recto. New subscriber here! Cheers!
Thanks man!!
The best break down and demo of this unit.
Thanks again John
"you can be silent on stage"... that's for me so I could fuck up without being noticed. Priceless!
Fantastic vid, Jamie!
Tom Quayle thanks.. hope all is well.
Amazing and super detailed demo! Your tones are incredible.
What an intro track!
What a product!!
@@SixStringAlliance Yeah, I know
That ebmm evh is beautiful, I have a Trans black myself
I want another! I have 14 Axis guitars, my latest is slab body the same as the EVH
I don’t like to complicate things.
But I can see, you can use this device to whatever extent you like.
I love my mess amp, now I want to delete the need of a cab at times and this unit sounds amazing and pretty intuitive to use.
Great video
nice review of a powerful piece of gear...
Two Notes stuff is awesome man! Got the Torpedo Live \m/
Awesome! Thank you for all the great midi examples!
absolutely savage Jamie Jamie keep up the great work one of the best guitar instructors in the globe
Enjoyed the opening jam, awesome playing dude!
Ditto...I'm studying that. That's rock guitar in a nut shell!
ferocious hot distortion sound, I like it
thank you for this incredible demo !!!
That looks like the John Petrucci signature Boogie...Sounds great!!!
Yes it’s a JP2-C with a custom front panel 🤘🏻
I just Love the enthusiasm and joy that this unit brings to you! It is inspiring to see someone who loves both the music and the Tech! I should really figure out how to start programming with MIDI. I just need to figure out where to start - what MIDI controller? Footpedal? I can even use my Alesis vi25 keyboard I suppose but that is not very guitar performance friendly is it. Any suggestions on where to start?
Great review (and playing as usual).
Thanks Jamie, Great informative video!
I found you on Guitar Geeks website doing an interview! Awesome backstory!
Thank you 👍🏻😊
dude you rock!!
Great review Jamie! Awesome playing
Awesome Axis, man.
Ryan Teacher it’s an original early 90’s Van Halen model
@@SixStringAlliance sweet! I have a purple Sterling AX40d which I love. One day, I hope to have the real deal.
New subscriber here, great review and playing!
Thank you.. new content dropping any day.. just getting my head around the new camera!!
I remember you saying on The Musicians' Channel, many moons ago that you weren't a fan of Reverb. Have you seen the light? I enjoyed the video by the way.
Good memory.. and I still don’t like reverb in a live situation. And I never use it. But of course in the studio I use it to give instruments space
New happy subscriber here as well. Awesome lesson, tones, product... well just awesome everything.
I was wondering how many inputs on your soundcard is needed for your w/d/w setup - 2 or 3? I'm guessing 3, but you're the magician, so one can never know ;-)
Thanks for the post!! Yes you’ll need 3 inputs; fx left and right, fully panned and 100% effect, not dry signal. The dry signal is on a mono channel in the centre ;
What is the diferences beween the load of older model captor 8ohm and the reactive load of Captor X?...anyway really informative demo and detailed explanations for which thank you!
The load is the same. The only difference is another step in the attenuator.
Great review man! And happy to be a new subscriber.
I currently use a two amp setup for my stereo effects (no FX loops unfortunately) so straight in to the fronts of my tube heads.
I’d like to get my time delayed effects AFTER.
So, are you saying I can run from one amp head- speaker output - into the Two Notes
Then XLR left and right out to my stereo pedals??
Then straight into my interface or the board?
Great tones on that demo as well sir.
Thanks Scott. I run Captor X in dual mono.. one output direct to my interface, the other output drives my effects, which are 100% wet. I output for the effects in stereo. It works great!!
@@SixStringAlliance
👍
Can I run this into a Yamaha av receiver?
It’d be so cool if you used a vox mv50 ac a trebble booster and a red special with double tracking and an ac30 cab to see how close to brian may u can get
I’m about to shoot a Treble Booster video. I’ll use a Mesa TA30 which has a Vox circuit. I’ll be using Captor X running wet dry wet, so stay tuned!! 😁
Jamie Humphries thanks Jamie
Great review!
I wonder do i have to use noise gate with this, or the internal noise gate is enough?
The internal noise gate in Captor X has replaced my rack noise gate.. its fantastic
Hello Jamie, I didn't quite get the last part of your setup. Are you sending your signal to studio monitors and cabinets?
Bruno Cormack for the demo it was running into Cubase, monitoring via my in ears. For Live it’s sent to the engineer, so again I wear in ears. The point of the setup is to not have to use cabinets, so it’s a silent rig. To achieve wet dry wet in a conventional way you’d need either 3 amps and 3 cabs, or an amp, power amp and 3 cabs.this set up relies only on Captor X and is silent. Many tours I do require silent setups
Great video man! How would you compare this to the Boss TAE? Do you feel like the Boss TAE justifies being 2x the price of the Two Notes Captor X? I'm completely new to the world of IRs, load boxes and attenuators. Ultimately, I just want to be able to record my vintage tube amps at their sweet spot, play silently through headphones late night, and also just be able to crank my amps to their sweet spot and attenuate the volume when I don't want to fiddle with software or redirect the output through monitors. Not sure if the TAE would be overkill for me and if I should save money with the Captor X or not. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment. I’ve sadly not tried the TAE, I’ve always used the Two notes units. I think that Two notes are the leaders in this field so I know what I’d choose 😊
So you can record in your pc without the pedals in your fx loop? Hearing your fx loop, but not being recorded?
Not sure what you mean. Captor X is connected to your amp via the speaker out, it takes the load from you amp as well as allowing you to use countless cab and mic IR’s. You run this direct into your recording software to capture your amp tone, or use it live so your setup is silent.
@@SixStringAlliance I got a delay on the Fx Loop... the delay would be captured on the PC through the Captor?
Yes, for wet dry wet, you feed the delay with one of Captor X outputs. You then come from your delay in stereo to you interface, with the FX mix of your delay 100% wet. you pan that left and right in your DAW. The other output from captor X is your dry tone, so with out the delay. That signal is centre in your DAW.
🤟🏼🔥🔥🔥💪💪👌👌👌
Does this work with the Two Notes Le Preamps or replace them.
You wouldn’t benefit using this with a preamp pedal; I’d suggest CAB M for using with preamp pedals.
Are you still using dimarzio paf 36th ann?
khoirus sobri yes, but not in this guitar. These are the original EVH DiMarzio pickups that came in this guitar
Purchased this today from andertones and I will get my hands on it in August. Ffs hahahahahahaha
Great product indeed, but man finding the right IR in a million IRs is a pain.
I like mine. It has a fatal flaw. No stereo. All your stereo pedals. Forget it. If there's a workaround, I'd love to know. And christ don't say buy two captors.
I use mine in stereo with my effects. Set Captor X to dual mono, i feed one signal dry and the other powers my effects that out put in stereo. So that way will work. . I explain this setup towards the end of this video. This unit wouldn't benefit from being stereo, thats not the concept, but having the stereo reverb on the outputs for the separate mics gives it stereo spread.
