Used without a speaker, it allows you to use your amp head in silent mode without any risk. If you wish to keep using a cabinet, the Torpedo Captor features a direct speaker THRU or ATT output which sends either the full volume of the amp to the cabinet or a fixed -20dB attenuation. It also offers a balanced XLR active DI output with selectable guitar or bass simulation taken from Two notes critically acclaimed Le-series preamps, as well as a balanced line output with adjustable output level and polarity.
