Product description Designed for electric guitar players and bassists, the Torpedo Studio from Two Notes is a digital loadbox, interfacing with your favorite preamplifier in a comprehensive effort to replace or obviate your large—and often cumbersome—speaker cabinet. The device goes farther than giving you authentic sounding impulse responses of many different cabinets by providing emulations of power amplifiers, microphones, microphone preamplifiers, and effects often used in capturing recording (equalizers, compressors, etc.). It can be used as a digital alternative to miking your cabinet on stage or in the studio, for silent practicing, and as a means to put many different cabinet configurations at your disposal for experimentation.The Torpedo Studio not only replicates the sound of many different combinations of gear, but also protects the circuitry of your favorite preamp. Quite often—and especially with amps not sporting fuses or other protection systems—failure to connect a tube-amplifier’s power output to a speaker cabinet can cause significant problems to the output stage of your amp. Plugging into the Torpedo Studio solves this problem effectively, handling the load of your preamplifier (hence the term “loadbox”), while giving you both Reactive and Resistive options when it comes to matching impedances of your amplifier. Resistive offers a fixed impedance value and usually produces a warmer tone than Reactive mode, which mimics the complex impedance of corporeal speakers and gives you a brighter, and some would say more natural timbre.Adaptations of the convolution techniques long used to model hardware reverberators have been employed to give you high-quality digital algorithms. These authentically mimic the sound and feel of a power amp/cabinet/microphone setup. 50 cabinets and eight microphones ship standard with the Torpedo Studio, but you can also load third-party impulse responses, or even your own, home-created IRs. Further Two-Note sounds are accessible via the included Torpedo Remote software, wherein you can audition and purchase additional models, and also, control the Torpedo Studio with software, rather than through the hardware unit itself.To accommodate both beginners and seasoned experimenters, two different operational modes have been provided: Arcade mode, which is for novice users, and Simulation mode, which allows for comprehensive customization of the loadbox’s parameters. A temperature fan ensures that heat is efficiently dissipated, with an automatic warning and a failsafe built-in to the unit, should you exceed specific temperatures. A power cable is provided for your convenience. - Emulated Tube-Stage Output
- When using guitar/bass preamplifiers with conventional power amps, players often get their sound from a particular use of its tube complement. To replicate this feel, Two Notes has developed a tube-stage modeling that gives you a choice of 4 different tube models (6L6, EL34, EL84 and KT88) in AB-class Push-Pull (PP) or A-class Single Ended (SE) configurations. You can push this tube stage like a conventional amplifier, achieving for that subtle kind of distortion.
- Not Just for Guitars
- In addition for stringed instruments, the Torpedo Studio can be used to warm up keyboards, synthesizers, organs, or digital pianos/soft-synths.
- Adjustable Impedance
- The loadbox's adjustable impedance of 4, 8, or 16 Ohms—and its high-admissible power of 150W—makes it suitable for use with any amplifier. The reactive impedance faithfully imitates a speaker, allowing the amp to work exactly as if it was connected to a speaker cabinet.
- Dual Mono/Stereo Miking Emulations
- Provided is a combined simulation of two cabinets matched with two microphones for choices in tonal configurations. You can also virtually position two different microphones in front of your selected, emulated speaker, or in front of two different modeled-speakers.
- Post-FX Section
- When recording guitars and basses, it is common to apply a few effects to shape the sound before it is sent to the house PA or your recording interface. To assist in this task, the Torpedo Studio ships with a semi-parametric EQ, an exciter, a compressor, and a reverb.
- Connection Possibilities
- Go ahead and connect your instrument to your desired amplifier as usual. Then, where you would connect your amplifier to the speaker cabinet, connect to the Torpedo Studio instead. Now route the setup to a mixing board, house PA, or recording interface. You can also use headphones for direct monitoring and silent practice. If you still want to use your desired speaker, you can do so through the THRU output, so long as it sports a 1/4" termination for inputs.You can also use the Torpedo Studio with a preamplifier, or as an external effect processor in a studio/home-studio environment. A hefty complement of analog and digital I/O allows the Torpedo Studio to work in virtually any situation.
- MIDI Implementation
- The Torpedo Studio can be controlled by MIDI messages, accepting both program changes and control changes. The controlling device, hooked into the Torpedo Studio's 5-Pin DIN MIDI input jack, can be a foot controller, a keyboard, or a computer. Also on hand is a 5-Pin DIN MIDI out/THRU jack, which will mirror every MIDI message coming in through the MIDI input to connected devices.
- Torpedo Remote System
- The Torpedo Studio includes a remote software application called Torpedo Remote. This software provides a clear and intuitive interface, giving you access to all the parameters on your Torpedo. These include loading/saving presets, loading new IRs, and updating the unit's firmware. You can also try out additional speaker cabinets from the Two Notes store, preview them on your own tracks in real time, and choose to buy the ones you prefer.
