4.4.3 Contour
The CONTOUR parameter will help you find the tone you are searching for, at low volume. This filter
changes the attenuated speaker output, from more medium and vintage tones to more modern and
midscooped tones. Basically, when playing at low volume, you may want to add that missing bass and
treble, but we like to imagine a more creative way of using the CONTOUR, by modifying the tonal
characteristics of your amplifier during a recording through traditional miking.
CONTOUR has no effect on the DI, REPLAY™ or Loadbox outputs.
4.5 Re-amplification using REPLAY™
Re-amplification techniques are commonly used nowadays, mainly to let the guitarist record a dry
guitar in one place and time, and then have that dry recording sent to one or many amplifiers by a
sound engineer who will take the time to find the right combination for the song. This way a guitar
player who is equipped with a good quality DI and a DAW can take the time to quietly record at home
without travelling to a studio, and eventually get a pro recording of a real amplifier. For more
information about re-amping techniques, please read this Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-amp
.
With the Torpedo Reload, you can do both of those things: record the dry guitar with the DI, and then
use the REPLAY™ to send that guitar track back to an amplifier. We will here present first a silent
REPLAY™ (i.e., without actual cabinets plugged to the Torpedo Reload), and then the full setup for
recording 3 different tracks at the same time.
