Studio Grade Effects

Enhancer - When you need a touch of magic to find the tone for a song, Thickness and Brilliance will emphasize the low and high end of the tone, respectively. Body will render your tone fuller and more present.

Voicing - The voicing knob controls the mid-range of all presets simultaneously. Cut or boost the mids to balance the sound of the room on the fly.

Twin Tracker creates a virtual second guitarist. Your tone is beefed up, and your sound becomes massive within the stereo field.

EQ - Refine your tone with the instrument voiced 5-band post-EQs for both guitar and bass. Alternatively, explore the semi-parametric 6-band custom mode, including low shelf.

Stereo Reverb – Control the width of your stereo field with the hardware Space knob. From subtle studio room acoustics to immense ambient soundscapes.

Noise Gate – If you’re having floor noise problems, remove unwanted hisses and hums with the noise gate. The Hard / Soft modes keep your tones tight, and the learn function adapts to your rig.

What is DynIR?

The Captor and Captor X feature DynIR technology, but what is it? In short, Impulse Response (IR) is a digital representation of a guitar cab miked up in a room. A huge number of perfectly aligned studio-grade IR files would be needed to replicate Two notes’ DynIR Virtual Cabinet.

With DynIR, you can find your tone in seconds effortlessly, leaving you to focus on playing and recording. Simply move the mic around the cabinet, in real-time, and hear the changes.
