3.6.1 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 Torpedo Wall of Sound 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.
Torpedo Wall of Sound 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.
3.6.2 The Torpedo technology, convolution and Impulse Responses
The Impulse Response (IR) of a given system consists in the description of that system’s behavior in
the form of a very detailed filter. The convolution technique uses IRs to simulate the behavior of
specific systems such as reverbs, speakers, EQ, and so on.
This is the most accurate method to simulate sound signatures that are linear (i.e. without distortion)
and time-invariant (i.e. with no effect such as modulation, compression, hysteresis, etc.). It is
particularly well suited for speaker miking simulation.
Two notes has developed a unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution
techniques. Starting with a measure of a real c microphone setup, Torpedo Wall
of Sound can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, including its
distortion, as well as the microphone’s position in space by using IR synthesis. Control
the amount of distortion produced in the loudspeakers (Overload) and fix any phase issue
with the Variphi — exclusive Two notes Virtual Cabinets functions.
3.6.3 Multi miking
Torpedo Wall of Sound offers you what every sound engineer wants: the possibility of carefully placing
several microphones before the same cabinet, or of selecting several different cabinets and
microphones and mixing them.
You will discover the unlimited possibilities of multi miking, with up to 100 processing channels! Add
as many microphone and cabinet configurations and mix them in the stereo field or keep them
isolated on each channel, in real time.
3.6.4 Post FX Section
When recording guitars or basses, it is common to apply a few effects to shape the sound before it is
sent to a PA or a recorder. In Torpedo Wall of Sound, you will find a 6-bands EQ filter (with guitar, bass
