I can't wait to buy my Torpedo Captor but I would like to buy one that I can use with multiple amps because I'm likely to be changing my gear relatively soon and have access to multiple amps. The main reason I want a Captor is for quiet recording into my interface.
Right now I have an old Marshall DSL 40 combo that comes with two 8 ohm outputs but its stock internal speaker is plugged into a 16 ohm output that disables the other outputs when used. However, I'm likely to get a new amp in the next year or so (probably a the first EVH 5150 lunchbox) and I want to make sure that whatever I get is still compatible with my Captor.
Could I push the switch on my DSL 40 to 8 ohm and use the Captor 8 ohms instead of the Captor 16? I'm worried if I buy the 16 ohm version that it won't be compatible with many amps but I'm not sure if I could safely run the DSL 40 through an 8 ohm version.
I would rather buy a Captor 8 ohm than 16 ohm because I also own a Marshall DSL 100 head that only switches from 4 to 8 ohm. I will probably also have access to a JSX head (switchable from 4 to 8 to 16 ohm) and there are a few other amps that I might end up using too (like a Hughes and Kettner 40 watt Tubemeister and a Marshall 1959 head).
Also is it possible to plug an Engl E530 preamp into the Captor?
Thank you.
