Connecting the Torpedo VM-202

You can configure the VM-202 to get simultaneously a dry signal (without simulation) on the first output

and a processed signal on the second one. The musician retains his familiar playing sensation. To do this,

you will choose the routing modes "mono"/"dual mono"/"stereo" to "separated and bypass the simulation

and the post FX section on one channel.

To achieve the "re-miking", you can simply create a numeric loop as described paragraph 1.2, in other

words inject the dry digital/analog signal into the VM-202, simulate the miking process and then send a

digital signal to your recorder.

You may certainly find out new ways to use the Torpedo VM-202. Don’t hesitate to share your ideas on
