Connecting the TORPEDO C.A.B.
1. Plug a loadbox into the speaker out, then the loadbox uncompensated Output to the TORPEDO
C.A.B. . Avoid any speaker simulation before the TORPEDO C.A.B. . Depending on the output
impedance and level of the loadbox try both IN LEVEL selector positions to find the appropriate
Input level.
2. Use the FX loop of the amplifier , plug the Send Output into the TORPEDO C.A.B. . Depending
on the output impedance and level of the FX loop Output try both Input selector positions to
find the appropriate Input level. And depending on the input impedance and output level of
the TORPEDO C.A.B. you may want to try both selector positions for OUT LEVEL too (Line level is
higher than Amp).
When using the TORPEDO C.A.B. with a loadbox, we recommend switching OFF the Power Amp
simulation section.
Playing in silence is a great feature, but at some point you have to listen to what you play ! Here
are a few options to use at home, in the studio or on stage:
1. Listening through the headphones out,
2. Having a local monitoring system on stage, by duplicating the Line OUT with a mixer,
3. Having in-ear monitors or wedge speakers controlled by a sound engineer.
When using a tube amplifier, always make sure that a proper load
(cabinet or loadbox) is connected to the speaker Output.
We recommend putting any modulation, reverb and delay effects AF-
TER the TORPEDO C.A.B. . This is what is usually done in the studio, es-
pecially when using stereo effects. The TORPEDO C.A.B. being MONO,
any stereo signal sent to the unit will be converted to MONO . More-
over, if you set up the Power Amp simulation to a high volume, some
distortion will appear. It is totally different to send reverb or delay into
a distortion stage (like you would do in the effect loop of an amplifier)
and to send a distorted sound into a reverb or a delay (like you will do
by following this advice). Try both and pick the one that fits you.
3 Using the C.A.B with another modeling product
You can use the TORPEDO C.A.B. with other modeling products, hardware or software units. Most
of the time it is not possible to switch off their Power amp simulation section (a whole amplifier is
simulated at a time), we recommend in the case to switch off the Power Amp simulation on the
TORPEDO C.A.B. .
4 Remote control
With a MIDI foot controller , you gain access to the Preset navigation and even to parameter
changing in real time. The TORPEDO C.A.B. handles both PROGRAM CHANGE et CONTROL CHANGE
commands.
The TORPEDO C.A.B. is a standalone unit, but you can control it from your computer (PC Windows
or Mac OSX) with the
TORPEDO Remote software
using a USB connection. Create, save and load
