Well, it’s about time you implemented MIDI into the awesome little box. Bravo.
Amazing, we’re so glad to hear you like it! Let us know if you have any questions!
Holy cow! This product absolutely answers all my apartment home recording prayers and them some!! GASSING like a mofo! LMAO!
Amazing! We’re so happy to hear this! Let us know if you have any questions!
Hi. Where can I upload more presets for the cab M +? I see that the Opus device has 60 more presets than the cab…. I would be interested to copy some of the opus presets features (what is not preamp dependant). Like the Jimi in Manifold one. Is there a forum for cab M users ?
Hi Nicolas, Thanks for getting in touch. Sadly the presets between the C.A.B. M+ and OPUS are not compatible however you can check out the Two notes Exchange for other compatible C.A.B. M+ presets: https://exchange.two-notes.com/
Hi there! I’m really intrigued by this product! This might be a silly question. Can I use this with an attenuator? For instance, place it after my head and attenuator so I can use the cab sims via recordings or between the attenuator and cab so I can use my attenuated amp live and use your IR’s in the mains?
Great question Nash. You certainly can! It’s actually one of the key setup scenarios! Check out our quick link to our user guide below for more info.

Can the USB interface be used for recording via DAW?
Hi Tom, Thanks for getting in touch. OPUS cannot be used as an audio interface as the USB connection is reserved for Remote connectivity and data transfer only.
Which midi pedalboard can i use for the opus?
Thanks for getting in touch – Ross from Two notes here. Controllers compatible with conventional MIDI norms and protocols are all compatible with OPUS in accordance with sending PC and CC messages. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with today!
Stupid question, but is there anyway the Opus can send a true stereo signal? I’m searching for a device EXACTLY like this but with stereo capability. I was so excited to see this product released after hearing rumors but was a little let down when I didn’t see stereo mentioned in the marketing materials.
Hi Alex, Thanks for getting in touch. This is a Mono device so it cannot output a Stereo Signal. May I ask why a Stereo signal is paramount in the context of your rig? Maybe I can devise a workaround for you!
Great product but is there any chance to have also a delay in a future upgrade? I still remember the upgrade from CAB M to CAB M +, there were more features.
Thanks for getting back to us and we’re so pleased to hear you like the product. Sadly integrating a delay wont be possible, but you can rear-load OPUS with a delay pedal and achieve some fantastic results!
So far really like the Opus. Still have the M+, love the preamp in it , any plan in the future to have the preamp in the Opus?
Thank you
Thanks for getting in touch. You should find Foundry very similar to the preamp in the C.A.B. M+ – very few tweaks were made on this in terms of the sonic output actually!
Do I need a load box if I run my amp Friedman Runt 20 xlr output (mic-no-mo) to the input of the opus? Then, with no speaker connected, I can use headphones and or go to a DAW, or would that blow my amp up? Dave Friedman says that you don’t need a load box with the xlr cable ONLY on the runt 20 series, the runt 50 series wouldn’t work, JJ Jr. Is a part of the Runt 20 series.
Hi Justin, Thanks for getting in touch. Ross from Two notes here. You can certainly action this without a load box as the amp in question features an internal load for this output. However, this is a cabinet emulated output and you may not get the best results running a DynIR cabinet emulation on top of this. For optimal use, we would suggest combining an OPUS with a Captor and running the OPUS between your Amp’s Speaker Output and the Captor. Please let me know if there is anything else I can clarify for you today.
I love the sounds I’m getting from the OPUS, but I still need to use an external preamp for now. I use a Dual Rectifier for most of my music. I hope a Dual Rectifier-like preamp will be offered some day in the future. Please don’t offer a Soldano-like preamp in its place, as they are not the same.
Hi Rob, I hope all is well and thank you for getting in touch. We cant reveal too much at this stage but there are most certainly some high-gain pres in the pipeline! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
Thank you Two notes team, for the Dual Rectifier. You all nailed the nuances I look for in this preamp model, that many many manufacturers fail at delivering. Bravo!
Amazing! Thanks so much for the great feedback and we are so pleased to hear this is working out well for you!
Can I switch presets on the Opus by sending midi PC messages from my DAW (via usb) or do I need to buy another usb to midi interface?
Hi Raymond, Thanks for getting in touch – Ross from Two notes here. OPUS does not feature MIDI over USB and as such you will need an interface that can transmit PC MIDI messages. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
I bought the Opus as I have been extremely satisfied with the Torpedo Captor X – incredible device. However Opus is something completely different. I tested it for hours trying to like the device … It is built like a tank, all the connections are there, options etc. Unfortunately the sound is not. I don’t like comparison but with all the pedals I have on the pedal board – this little device is similar to Zoom devices when flooded the market end of 90s. I tried all possible combinations with my amps – Fender DRRI and AER Alpha, electric and acoustic guitars – I could not get the same sound out of it no matter what I tried and I tried … it simply us not there yet. In terms of integrating this into my rig I do not see this pedal as useful in live situations. All the drive sounds are terrible noise generators, the acoustic guitar emulations are not even worth mentioning. After discovering this is not going to end on the pedal boards I tried connecting directly to my Audient and see if I could use it for recording purposes. I was again disappointed – yes it is better but nothing that I cannot already achieve with Torpedo Captor X – I will not discuss the quality of the IR. The device itself is well engineered but the quality in comparison to my rig is under 25%. I mean if you do not have a pro quality tube amp go for it but if you do then better invest into Torpedo Captor X – that is one of best devices you will own. Opus – my 5 cent … 2 stars max.
Hi Ash, Thanks for getting in touch and we’re sorry to hear you think like this? We are a little concerned as your comments don’t reflect the majority of our customers out there? In terms of your pedalboard rig, which preamp were you using? Did you have the line out routing set to full routing from the preferences? We would love to discuss this with you further via our support desk if you are open to this as we think there may be an issue with configuration or the device itself here – if you could create a ticket at Support.Two-notes.com we will assist in any way we can!
