Two Notes load boxes at Lauzon Music
What Two Notes is known for
Letting a tube amp run where it sounds best without the volume that usually comes with it. Dr. Guillaume Pille started Two notes after university because he couldn't open up his own amp, and its first Torpedo, the VB-101 in 2008, was a load box with digital cab simulation built in. The Torpedo line is still built around reactive load boxes, which sit between the head and the cab, and Two notes' DynIR virtual cabinets, in the hardware or in its GENOME software.

Questions
Two Notes questions, answered
What does a Two Notes load box do?
It sits between your amp head and your speaker cabinet and takes the amp's full output, so the amp can be driven hard at a manageable volume or silently, while sending a line-level signal to a desk, an interface or headphones through cab simulation.
What's the difference between the Captor and the Reload II?
The Captor is a compact analog reactive load box, attenuator and amp DI, made in 4, 8 and 16 ohm versions. The Reload II is Two notes' most advanced load box: twin channels, selectable 4, 8 or 16 ohm loads for amps rated up to 200W RMS, continuous attenuation from silence up, a stereo effects loop and two XLR line outs.
Do you ship Two Notes gear to the US?
Yes. Two Notes units ship insured, free over $200 across Canada and the US, and US orders carry no duty.
