4.8.2 Communication with Remote
When a file transfer is occuring between the Torpedo Captor X and the Remote software, the red LED
acts as a progress indicator: it flashes when a certain percentage of the data is actually sent. This
allows to check if the transfer is occuring normally, or stalled.
This happens when transfering virtual cabinets, IR files, and firmware files (during firmware updates).
4.8.3 System error
The Torpedo Captor X red LED flashes when an error is detected inside the firmware of the unit.
To differentiate system error LED flashes from input or output clipping errors, turn off your amp, and
disconnect it from the Torpedo Captor X. If the Captor X keeps flashing red light while being
unplugged from the amp, this shows a system error. You can decipher the flashes with this article on
. Please submit a ticket on
with the transcription of the LED report.
5. User Cases
5.1 Using the attenuator
The attenuator allows you to dim the volume level of the cabinet connected to the SPEAKER OUT of
the Torpedo Captor X. The use of a cabinet is not mandatory with the Torpedo Captor X. As it is a load
box, your amp is provided with a safe load at all time when connected to the SPEAKER INPUT.
To use the attenuator, you need to connect a cabinet to the SPEAKER OUT of the
Torpedo Captor X. You will activate the attenuator with the Volume Level switch.
You have 3 settings for the Volume Level of the cabinet:
FULL: the attenuator is bypassed. The full power delivered by the amp is passed on to the
cabinet. Also, the impedance seen by the amp is the cabinet’s. If you are using a 16 ohm
cabinet, you will have an impedance mismatch. All the guidelines on impedance mismatch
“HALFWAY” (unlabelled): the attenuator is activated. The level is dimmed by 20dB. The amp is
seeing the impedance of the Torpedo Captor X. This level is considered to be very useful to
keep your cabinet on stage.
LOW: The attenuator is fully activated and the level is reduced by 38dB - the amp is seeing the
impedance of the Torpedo Captor X. This level is designed to allow you to play your tube amp at
home. In most situations this will fully attenuate your amplifier, but it may be the fact that some
signal still comes through your cabinet.
