4 Only A Speaker Simulator?

The Torpedo Live is a standalone unit you can bring with you in any situation, whenever silent playing
is needed.

The role of the Torpedo Live is to replace the following elements of the traditional guitar or bass
setup:

the guitar/bass power amplifier
the speaker cabinet
the microphone
the microphone preamplifier

In order to provide a signal that is the closest possible to a traditional guitar/bass miking in a
professional studio environment.

The miking is achieved in 3 steps with the Torpedo Live:

Choose a power amplifier (or switch it off if you are using a loadbox), a speaker cabinet and a

1.

microphone (Power Amp, Speaker, and Microphone sections)
Position the microphone inside the virtual studio (Miking window and parameters)

2.

Shape the signal (Low Cut, EQ, Exciter and Comp sections)

3.

At each step, Two notes Audio Engineering implements its know-how to offer the most advanced
simulations on the market and ensure absolutely realistic quality both for the musician (in terms of
playing sensation) and for the listener (in terms of sound quality). You can load up to 32 Two notes
cabinets in the Torpedo Live. Download the free Torpedo Remote software (Mac OS X and Windows
PC) from the 

Two notes Audio Engineering

 website, and you will be able to add or remove the stored

cabinets. There are currently more than 80 Two notes cabinets available in La Boutique and the Two
notes Store that you can try in real time and purchase with Torpedo Remote (requires a working
Internet connection).

4.1 Tube Stage Output

When using guitar/bass preamplifiers with some other speaker emulators, the musician may feel they
miss a power amplifier’s contribution to the overall sonic texture. Many musicians get their sound
from a particular use of that element and the Torpedo Live gives you the possibility to use it too. To
that effect, Two notes Audio Engineering has developed an original tube-stage modeling that gives
