software (Mac OS X and Windows PC) from the

available in La Boutique and the Two notes Store that you can try in real time and purchase with
Torpedo Remote (requires a working Internet connection).

3.2.1 Tube Stage Output

When using guitar/bass preamplifiers with some other speaker emulators, the musician may feel they
miss a power amplifier's contribution to the overall sonic texture. Many musicians get their sound
from a particular use of that element and the Torpedo Studio gives you the possibility to use it too.
To that effect, Two notes Audio Engineering has developed an original tube-stage modeling that gives
you a choice of 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 that subtle yet particular distortion.
The Torpedo Studio can be used as a super-DI for keyboards. The tube-amp simulation feature,
developed for guitarists and bassists, can also be a very interesting device to warm up the sound of a
synthesizer, an organ, or a digital piano.
3.2.2 The Torpedo technology, convolution and Impulse Responses
The Impulse Response (IR) of a given system consists in the description of that system's behavior in
the form of a very detailed filter. The convolution technique uses IRs to simulate the behavior of
specific systems such as reverbs, speakers, EQ, and so on.
This is the most accurate method to simulate sound signatures that are linear (i.e. without distortion)
and time-invariant (i.e. with no effect such as modulation, compression, hysteresis, etc.). It is
particularly well suited for speaker miking simulation.
Two notes has developed a unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution
techniques. Starting with a measure of a real cabinet + microphone setup, the Torpedo
Studio can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, including its distortion,
as well as the microphone's position in space by using IR synthesis. Control the amount
of distortion produced in the loudspeakers (Overload) and fix any phase issue with the
Variphi — exclusive Two notes Virtual Cabinets functions.

3.2.3 Dual Processing

With a mono (a tube amplifier) or a stereo source (a multi-effects, two different preamplifiers...) the
Torpedo Studio offers you what every sound engineer wants: the possibility of carefully placing two
microphones before the same cabinet, or of selecting two different cabinets and microphones and
mixing them.
You will discover the unlimited possibilities of dual miking, with two simultaneous A and B processing
channels: add up to two microphone and cabinet configurations and mix them in the stereo field or
keep them isolated on each channel, in real time. The IDLE display screen will show the A and B
