When replaying with a high-gain amplifier, you may experience some
unwanted noises, at a level higher than what you were used to with a guitar
directly plugged into the amp. This is normal and mainly due to the amp’s
huge level of gain, whereas our setup here is more complex and more
sensitive to every source of noise in it. The different ground lifts we add to
the Torpedo Reload will help, but may not be enough. We recommend
having the different products (instrument, Torpedo Reload, computer,
amplifier) as far as possible from one another, while keeping the
unbalanced connections as short as possible. A noise gate in the effects
loop of the amplifier always helps a lot with this kind of issue.
4.5.3 MATCH™
The unique MATCH™ function will compare the signal sent from the guitar with the signal coming
back from the audio interface. Use the REPLAY™ potentiometer to adjust the level of the track’s
signal.
We shall assume here that the silent REPLAY™ setup is operative. Activate the track-1
monitoring so the guitar’s dry sound will come back to the audio interface into the
REPLAY™ input. That way the Torpedo Reload will be able to compare the guitar’s signal
with the one sent by the audio interface.
Play the guitar so you see a LED on the MATCH™ panel light up. Increase or decrease the
value of the REPLAY™ potentiometer until the OK green led lights up, and your level-
matching is done!
MATCH™ works best if the latency of your digital audio interface is set to a
value inferior to 20 milliseconds.
4.5.4 MATCH™ without the original guitar
You cannot use the MATCH™ function because your are replaying tracks that were recorded at a
different time and place? Try to get some information about the guitar/bass that was used. Find a
guitar with similar pickups (single coils, humbuckers, active…) and use MATCH™ as if this were the
guitar used during the initial guitar recording, to find the REPLAY™ potentiometer’s correct value.
