Torpedo C.A.B. User's Manual
User's manuals - http://wiki.two-notes.com/
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 C.A.B.:
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 C.A.B. 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).
2.3.1 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 C.A.B. gives you the possibility to use it too. To
that effect, Two notes Audio Engineering has developed an original tube-stage modeling that gives
you a choice of 4 different tube models (6L6, EL34, EL84 and KT88) in Push-Pull (PP) in AB class, or
Single Ended (SE) in A class configurations. You can push this tube stage like a conventional amplifier
and look for that subtle yet particular distortion.
The Torpedo C.A.B. can be used as a super-DI for keyboards. The tube-amp simulation feature,
developed for guitarists and bassists, can also be a very interesting device to warm up the sound of a
synthesizer, an organ, or a digital piano.
2.3.2 EQ Section
When recording guitars or basses, it is common to apply a few effects to shape the sound before
sending it to a PA or a recorder. In the Torpedo C.A.B. you will find a simple but efficient EQ filter with
two modes, GUITAR or BASS.
