Connect your amplifier’s speaker out to the Torpedo Reload’s SPEAKER IN.

Make sure the impedance selected on the Torpedo Reload matches the value at your amp’s

Connect a cabinet to the lower SPEAKER OUT jack.

Connect a second cabinet, if needed, to the higher SPEAKER OUT jack.

The loadbox inside the Torpedo Reload remains active whether you have
plugged a cabinet to it or not. We recommend using amplifiers with a
maximum power rating of 150W RMS (200W peak). Basically, the loadbox
turns your amplifier’s power into heat. If the temperature inside the
Torpedo Reload is too high due to an excess of power, DO NOT WORRY: the
active security system will put your amp on a safe security load, while the
Torpedo Reload cools down.
When you play your amplifier loud, you may hear some noise coming out of
the Torpedo Reload. This is perfectly normal and there is no reason to
worry. The sound is produced when power goes through the coil of the
reactive load embedded in the Torpedo Reload. The vibration is related to
what power comes out of the amplifier connected to the Torpedo Reload
and to the signal’s frequency content (i.e., notes played are heard). Your
amplifier may also produce similar noise, at the output transformer’s stage.
Such noise is usually not heard, simply because it is normally covered by
the sound coming from the loudspeaker.
The sound may be a little different depending on whether a Torpedo Reload is placed between
your amplifier and your cabinet or not. That is normal, as the internal speaker impedance of the
Torpedo Reload will be slightly different from your cabinet’s. Most importantly, this slight
difference is constant and does not depend on the attenuation level.
