Frequently Asked Questions
Reactive loads model speaker behavior more accurately than resistive loads, but they won’t replicate the exact nuances of a physical cab’s cone breakup and air movement.
It has a learning curve; the sheer number of options can be overwhelming initially, but the included RIG libraries offer excellent starting points.
The Captor X 16 is designed for tube amps; using it with a solid-state amp is not recommended and could potentially damage the unit.
