The torpedo cab also offers a simulated power amp and EQ for guitar and one for bass (all disabled).
It can be used to drive simple IR (Impulse Response) if you prefer to use "footprints" found on the net. Those proposed by Two Notes are ample however
It has a MIDI port, IN, one OUT, headphone jack, a USB port. Also two knobs, two switches and a push button.
Everything is editable via the small screen menus (very readable despite its size) or via USB with the Torpedo Remote software, or via MIDI (and even use some of their "i-devices" as controllers).
The quality is excellent.
The manual is well thought out and concise. Take a little time to become familiar with the operation of the machine, as well as to control the Torpedo Remote. However you soon figure out and use is really well thought out and very clear parameters. Very good ergonomics so for digital.
There are many memory locations to store presets or IR (from Two Notes or not).
IR proposed by Two Notes allow you to choose the distance and the phase of the microphone (in addition to its type as 8 are simulated), the cab of the front or back ...
I happened to be faced with some minor bugs and rare: two presets that I created is loaded after returning a second time on, if I did not have sound. This could be problematic in the context of a live use if the bug was more widespread, but it is not the case. I bet that a future update will fix this little problem.
The simulations are virtually endless because any IR speaker can be used on the device. These proposed base are absolutely excellent and very "card" via the numerous parameters.
In terms of sound quality, it's just the best record that I've had with digital technology. Currently used with AMT SS-11A, the Cab allows me to enjoy the "lights" on headphones. It sounds great with the Tech 21 also, I went with my love Leeds!
The sound reproduction always depends heavily pregnant, size, quality, etc ... With this device you can try everything, and to paraphrase a forumeur colleague: "This is an excellent vaccine against GAS". The variety of sound you can get is so great ... No need to buy a new amp soon as we got tired, or a new distortion pedal every month (well I certainly caricature).
Basically, if you want novelty, we try other IR, other investments of micro ... and is disoriented.
The record is excellent both in headphones that plugged into the sound or good speakers. The settings are subtle. The character of the instrument or preamp 'are respected ... In short, I see very well keep this material for many years.
That's kind of what I always looked for:
I mostly play with headphones for years, but I was frustrated by the reports of simulations (tech 21, line 6, zoom ...). I also wanted to have a good record when I plugged in the sound.
Here, it sounds better than ever, and the record is as good in the headphone rehearsal on the speakers, and it is a great tool to record without having to blush super sounds taken from those better equipped
The versatility and quality of the tool widely excuse its price.
I'm not the type to invest as much in hardware, but having always been frustrated since I live in an apartment, tired I thought I would try to sell the roadster left thereafter.
I resell it more. And instead suddenly many things have become almost useless on my pedalboard.
This is now my main tool for playing after the guitar. I recommend, and I put the maximum rating, well deserved.
