We discuss differences between Captor and Captor X, and assess which version is better for you, based on your priorities, and also compare it to Universal Audio Ox and Boss tube Amp Expander, and cheaper attenuators, such as Bugera Power soak.

We include sound samples for guitar and bass, both attenuated and non-attenuated, clean and overdrive, fingered and slap, and so on.

In general - Captor is great as a recording device, but has some problems as an attenuator.
