Connecting the Torpedo VM-202
Note about the effects position :
depending on where you place the ef-
fect (after the guitar, in the amplifier effects loop, in front mixing console
after the miking) you will obtain very different results. The VM-202 allows
you the usual effects placements, with an evident simplicity to set up a
studio configuration (B position), ie with the effects after the sound miking
process. If there is no absolute rule, we find that the most common config-
uration is the following one :
• Distortion effects : between the guitar and the preamplifier
• Wah effects : between the guitar and the preamplifier or in the ef-
fects loop (A position)
• Modulation effects (chorus, phaser) : effect loop (A position) or after
the miking (B position)
• reverb effects : effect loop or after the sound miking

Dry recording and re-miking
For recording, a particular configuration allows to take full advantage of the great flexibility of the VM-202.
This particular way of connecting the machine allows you to rework a recording after it’s been recorded.
The "reamping" techniques are already known (recording a guitar or bass through a DI and sending this
signal into an amplifier), we are going to talk here about something we call "re-miking".

This is done in 2 steps :
1. Dry recording of the preamplifier (simulation bypassed, or using the "PRE-SIM OUT" output
2. Using the Torpedo VM-202 like an external processing unit into a digital loop through the AES/EBU or
the S/PDIF I/O. This way, you can choose where you want to place the cabinet and the microphone
after the sound miking process.
