Two Notes OPUS!!!

[Sascha Franck]

The Opus can accept speaker level signal through it though, so it works as a DI box whereas HX Stomp does not.

Ok, that's actually a valid point (and one of the reasons I mentioned the Pangaea, because that's the scenario I used it in for a while).

Smartphone/ tablet editor brings me back around.

Uh-oh - and guess which company still refuses to go there?
Heck, even my lowly NUX Amp Academy has a smartphone editor by now, working via USB-OTG. And it's absolutely excellent.

So, I think the Opus looks and seems nice. The only (personal) downside here is that I only bought the CAB M+ a year ago.

Hi Guys,

Amy from Two notes here! Well, that's a little earlier than we'd planned but we're so glad to hear you're digging OPUS. If you have any questions, let me know! We're happy to help!

Just wanted to say that feature rundown video was really well done.

 

[AmyTwonotes]

In the video he says “Future proof usb C specification” ….so it outputs audio via USB C? As in plug Opus into a laptop and get a modeled amp rig with all the DynIR and post processing to your DAW? If so, does it send a DI as one channel and processed audio as another?

Hi @Enchilada Jones,

Great questions! So the USB-C connection is for connecting to the Torpedo Remote App, principally for Firmware Updates and DynIR transfers!

For Dual Mono Routing, check out the section in our manual - https://wiki.two-notes.com/doku.php?id=opus:opus_user_s_manual#line_out_routing

Let me know if you have any further questions!

EDIT: @norminal beat me to the punch. You gotta get up pretty early in the morning around here. :/

I’m on the East Coast, was up at 5:30 this morning and still saw Stone on here before me, though I believe he’s west of me.

Insomnia is a bitch.

Hi @dronerstone,

Thank you for the post and the welcome!

There are indeed more preamp models on the way via Free Firmware Updates! At this stage, we're not planning on reselling these, rather we want our legion of tone heads who invest in OPUS to get maximum bang-for-their-buck!

This is how you win new customers. Excellent customer-first strategy!

I hate to say but it sounds pretty bad in that video. And I love Michael's playing and tones in just about everything he does.

Agree! Brett's video sounds good though - so probably just like anything else it's how it get dialed in.

What's the consensus on the DynIR system? I'm finding ever since Line 6 updated their cab modeling that I'm liking that approach a lot better than flipping through IRs (though I still have my go-to York Audio IRs)

This is a nice replacement for the CAB M+ ... I already have one of those but if I were in the market, I'd consider this instead since the amp models could serve as a backup.

Busy day at work, can someone give me the cliff notes on why I should hate this?

No loop? Ugh.

From the manual .... for those that may run Digital Pedals before and/or after the Opus ... this is the end-to-end Latency of the whole Opus pedal by itself:-

Latency is 2.2ms with an IR Length at 40ms
Latency is 3.5ms with an IR Length at 100ms
Latency is 4.8ms with an IR Length at 200ms

I think this could be an excellent choice for a small board ... ie: Opus + Stomp or HX FX + EP where only 1 or 2 Amp types are wanted or needed.

The no-more-than 10 Amps though is ... i.m.h.o ..... a massive restriction ... other than modeling more Amps, I cant see how adding more Amp Slots would be anything other than a FW Upgrade (?)

But I'd buy this any hour of any day over the over-priced-under-spec'd-never-updated UAD "stuff" ..... my disdain for UAD and how they treat their customers is on marginally behind NDSP.

Hmmmmm ..... I disagree with the comments re: "old" digital and "muddy" wound strings ..... these tones ... to my basic old ears sound like real Amps.

What are you gonna do :)

Pete's demo sounded awful, but whatever.
