Sorry Genelec - I have no idea why I thought you were Swiss!! Finland is so full of talented musical people - love your speakers! Lee

[LordBransty]

Brilliant Andertons! Please don't ever delete this video! Us home guitarists want great amp tones at neighbour friendly volumes

[BobCrosley]

Game changer, guys! I live in an apartment and have valve amps and even though they have master volumes, turning down the master is ok, but it’s just not the same as letting them off the leash a bit. Running my AC15 into a Captor X and a monitor, and I had the Top Boost cranked and the master up high and got great tone and could talk over it. Incredible.

[ReallyVirtual]

One thing that's brilliant about this video - apart from the sheer entertainment value, is how The Captain's playing has been improving over the years. It is very noticeable. Maybe he should do one on how he practices :)

Best sounding low volume option I've heard on this channel.

[jbbeaudry]

I got both the Captor and the X, the latter being one of the best pieces of gear I have ever bought.
I run my amps cranked through it, even more than I would through cabs or built in speakers.
The room mic’s don’t do justice here of course. 70 dB is ridiculously quiet.
I paired my X with some bigger monitors that work well from super quiet to instant feedback volume.
Below certain volumes your tone won’t be inspiring anyway so if I really need to go so low I rather use headphones.
Closer to 80-85 dB is better and still much quieter than the 110+ of a cranked 50W Marshall.
In addition, since I started messing around with the X I discovered how important cabs are to the overall tone. It’s something that I as an amateur had overlooked.
Really great stuff and I am so happy I bought the X

I bought a Captor years ago, honestly the best purchase i've ever made. The fact i can crank my Night Train 50 up to its sweet spot and still speak to anyone who enters the room is immense, and it changed how I record. I recommend one to everyone who plays guitar and has a big stack they want to play at home without turning the volume down to 1!

I bought a Captor Torpedo from Andertons just before Christmas, and have been using it on the -20db into my cab but have been wondering about how to use the other functions, so thanks for doing this episode guys - will be getting myself a powered speaker too!

[PeanutButterPavement]

I've been using a Captor X and Captor 8 for a long time now and love them!

[justinguitarcia]

I bought the captor X when it came out, pre ordered - this was actually right around lockdown time, I remember since I ordered it in hopes of getting it for a silent stage gig I had coming up (it was postponed obviously)… at any rate, it came during the summer of 2020 and Ive used it every day since. It was a lockdown savor, allowing me to record and play while stuck at home and has since become an indispensable recording and live tool. Really incredible piece of equipment for the money. Highly recommend from a recording/touring player

[WDYSTCK]

My prayers have been answered! I've been searching the internet for just that explanation! Thanx sooo much

[giancarloguico]

I literally was about to do some research about this topic and Andertons came through with this vid 🙌🏼

[michaelrains]

Just bought a Captor 8ohm two days ago! Excited for it to arrive. My neighbors are likely to enjoy it as well! ;-)

[SuperEdwick]

Closest thing to the Bang & Olfusen "all integrated" thing you guys mention at 22:43 are the Revv D20/G20 heads, which are designed to be pedal platform 20-ish watt tube amps with Torpedo Captor boxes built into them.

[littleninpo]

So glad I watched this. This is exactly what I need. I have an orange head. Paid all that money for it. And unless the neighbours go out it sounds crap at low volume.

[wrtoomes]

This topic is long overdue, well explained. EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!

[MikelBluni]

Don't get confused by the attenuation ability. I've been using the Captor (not X) for a long time and in conjuction with my Plexi (volume on 6-7) the -20db seem totally not realistic! It's still pretty pretty loud, way above bedroom level! So the attenuation part of the captor isn't great really. BUT I do almost all of my recordings with the Captor. Works brilliantly. A very organinc and vivid signal that you get from the unit and that you can work with in your DAW. The Wall of Sound Software is cool, but nowadays I'm only using really good IRs. Honestly, the whole DynIR thing and promises by Torpedo are exciting in the beginngn, but once you have used for example a great York Audio IR, you'll never return to Wall of Sound. Mixed feeling here overall, still I don't wanna miss the Captor for recording purposes.

[deplinenoise]

Love these kind of more practical videos. Been using captors for years now.

[michaelcorrigan]

Thank you for doing this video. I have all these things besides the powered monitors and cables to go from the captor X to them and I’ve been wanting to learn how to do this so much so I can start playing with it and messing around. This video is perfect thank you a million times over. Also sent an email to the team with some questions about powered monitors and cables to buy. This is the best and so are you guys.

i use a 50 watt plexi, captor x, studio headphones… no one but me hears anything… technology is awesome when it works. been wanting genelecs for a long time great video guys
