Tube Stage Output; Section Eq; The Torpedo Technology, Convolution And Impulse Responses - Two Notes torpedo live User Manual

The miking is achieved in 3 steps with the TORPEDO Live:
1. choose a power amplifier (or switch it off if you are using a loadbox), a speaker cabinet and a
microphone (Amplifier, speaker and microphone section),
2. place the microphone in the virtual studio (Miking window and parameters),
3. shape the signal (Low Cut, Eq, Exciter and Comp sections).
With each step, Two Notes Audio Engineering implements its know-how to propose the most ad-
vanced simulations on the market and ensure a total realism both for the musician (playing sensa-
tions) and the listener (sound quality).
You can embed up to 32 Two Notes cabinets in the TORPEDO Live. Download the free TORPEDO
Remote software (Mac OSX and Windows PC) from
and remove the embedded cabinets, there are currently 45 Two Notes cabinets, and new free cab-
inets available directly from you TORPEDO Remote software.

4.1 Tube Stage Output

When using a guitar/bass preamplifier with other speaker emulators, the guitarist/bassist may miss the
power amplifier's contribution to the overall sonic texture. Many musicians get their sound from a
particular use of this element and this possibility is present in the TORPEDO Live.
To do this, Two Notes developed an original tube stage modeling, giving you the choice between
4 different tube models (6L6, EL34, EL84 and KT88) in Push-Pull (PP) in AB class or Single Ended (SE) in A
class configurations. You can push this tube stage like a conventional amplifier and look for this subtle
yet particular distortion.
The TORPEDO Live can be used as a super-DI for keyboards. The tube amp simulation feature,
developed for guitarists and bassists, is also very interesting to warm-up the sound of a synthesizer,
organ or a digital piano.

4.2 Section EQ

When recording guitars or basses, it is common to apply a few effects to shape the sound before
sending it to a PA or a recorder. In the TORPEDO Live you will find a simple but efficient EQ filter with
two modes, GUITAR or BASS.

4.3 The Torpedo technology, convolution and Impulse Responses

The impulse response (IR) of a system describes it behavior under the form of a very detailed filter.
The convolution technique uses IRs to simulate the behavior or particular systems, such as reverbs,
speakers, EQ...
It is the most accurate way to simulate sound signatures that are linear (i.e. without distortion) and
time-invariant (i.e. no effect like modulation, compression, hysteresis...). It is particularly well suited for
speaker miking simulation.
Two Notes developed a unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution techniques.
Starting with a measure of a real cabinet + microphone setup, the TORPEDO TORPEDO Live can
accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, as well as the microphone position in space by
using IR synthesis.
