The exact gigging product I want does not exist.

This leads me down the "I'm not spending my time carrying a secondary plastic powered monitor turd (because most of the time we are using our own PA)" as well as "I am not making my signal chain even more convoluted by keeping synth and guitar stuff separate" which in turn leads me to "oh just got use a modeler again and get lost in the mix with the analog instruments"

For once, I pretty much understand your dilemma.

Having said that, the gearhead/perfectionist in me, WOULD carry that plastic powered monitor, if it was just for hearing the trumpets, and then a floor modeler (for fx and switching), and amp, guitar rig as well. I know it's another piece, but you cover ALL bases with the BEST sound for all. "FRFR" for trumpets and other stuff, real guitar rig for Amp where I'm at, etc.

So ended picking up a Captor. Had some Amazon bucks and it was on sale so not a big hit? The Mk can do this generally speaking but this is a bit more elegant comparatively for FOH purposes and for Badlander purposes.

did you go captor or captor X?

 

[JiveTurkey]

Captor. Cheaper and I don't need the extra functionality of the X.

 

[la szum]

So the Cab Clone in the VII is unusable for your purposes?

I did not read the whole thread but based on the OP it did sound like, to some degree, you just wanted a line out tapped from the signal driving your funky F12 cab, so it does sound like load box might be cool. You are potentially doubling down on impedance curves then of course.

Based on it's location in the chain; yes. There's some caveats where it could work but there is a too primitive aspect of this discussion as well as a nobody but my dumb a$$ needs something to do this angle at play. Certainly

Yeah I am at a picking my battles stage of things at this point

I bought it from "TOTALLY NOT SWEETWATER WE'RE GEARNUTS!". They must have a nearby warehouse. I need to do a rig rundown at some point but it's hard to pin something down when there's a change every other day

I know this life.

 

[Baba]

I know this life.

So do I.

I may not ACTUALLY buy the gear and change my rig, but I certainly think about it every week, lol.

Eh? I thought that you'd just received a Captor?

 

[JiveTurkey]

Yes. I'm dumb.

 

[jellodog]

@JiveTurkey Assuming I understand what just happened. I'm curious if the Captor didn't work for you because of the bass response?

I've never owned one, but I've always avoided them because I didn't like the look of the low end impedence curve, which doesn't look at all amp-like.

Start a weekly YouTube gear blog.

That way it will be manageable with only 2 or 3 major changes to update.
