Hi @vermouth13
Ross from Two notes here! Thanks so much for reaching out!
If you are talking about Captor X you will need to use the included power supply to power the unit. Then, connect your amp's output to the SPEAKER INPUT of the Captor X, indicated by a red bolt - ONLY use a speaker cable for this connection. Connect your headphones to the PHONES output if you want to monitor privately. Use the OUTPUT LEVEL to set the level of your headphones. If you want to listen through monitors or record to your DAW, connect the XLR outputs to your studio monitors/active speakers/audio interface with microphone cables. You can also use XLR/TRS jack from the Captor X's outputs to the next audio device. The OUTPUT LEVEL controls both the headphones and XLR outputs.
Let me know if you need a similar description for our Analogue Captor!
If there is anything else you need, please don't hesitate to contact us! We are always happy to help!

Hi @vermouth13,
This would be the correct way of wiring this together: Guitar into your Guitar Amp / Guitar Amp Speaker output into the SPEAKER INPUT (red nut) / Then connect the LINE output of the Captor to your audio interface. This output is dry, meaning there is no speaker simulation applied to the signal: it's the raw signal coming straight out of the amp, from the SPEAKER INPUT. This dry signal should be processed with a speaker simulation before being monitored - like our Wall of Sound Plugin.
Please let me know if this helps?

is it ok to use solid state amps other than jsut tube amps? and do u absolutely need an audio interface to get it working?

Hello @vermouth13 , yes you can use the Captor with solid state amps. No you do not absolutely need an audio interface to use the Captor. The unit has an analogue speaker simulation which allows you to connect directly to your monitors, active speaker, the mixing desk.
