are detailed in
Output mode: You can here choose to send either a processed (Stereo) or a combination of
processed and non processed ("Dual Miking/Dry" or "Dry/Dual Miking") to the analog and digital
outputs. In "Stereo" mode, a wet signal is sent to both channels (left and right). In "Dry/Dual
Miking" mode, a dry signal is sent to the left channel and a mono mix of both A and B channels
is sent to the right channel. In "Dual Miking/Dry" mode, the mono mix goes to Left and Dry to
right. This function is useful for recording a dry signal for later re-miking while monitoring
(and/or recording) a processed signal.
SGA: The Safe Gain Adjustment is an automatic gain-reduction functionality developed by Two
notes Audio Engineering, This parameter can be either Off, Out or Out Link. When set to Out,
the Torpedo will detect any saturation at the output stage, either on the A or B channel, and
lower the volume of the corresponding output. In Out Link mode, both channels will see their
volume decreased as soon as one is overloading. Use that mode if you process a stereo input,
to maintain the stereo image.
Loadbox Mode: The Torpedo Studio features a loadbox that can be either Reactive or
Resistive. that is a unique function that let you choose either the warm sounding Resistive
mode, or the brighter and closer to real speaker impedance Resistive mode.
Load Compensation: Only in Resistive mode, this option activates a filter that corrects the
dynamic reactions of the amplifier when it is used with a loadbox (see section 2. 1). To get the
most realistic sound possible, you should activate it when you are using the integrated loadbox
of the Torpedo Studio, and deactivate it when using a speaker cabinet plugged into the
"Speaker Thru" output (number 13 in figure 3.2). You can choose to let it Off to get a softer and
warmer tone.
Latency Mode: In every digital audio system, there is a time delay between the input and
output sound. This time delay is generally called "latency" and it needs to be as low as possible:
above a certain value, which is different for every person, the latency between a played string
and the output sound becomes noticeable, and will be distracting for the musician. The
noticeable threshold for guitar is usually considered to be around 10ms. The inner latency of the
Torpedo Studio is close to 5ms. In some cases (e.g., when chaining several digital audio
devices), it can be beneficial to reduce the latency of the Torpedo Studio, by turning the
Latency Mode to "Low". This decreases the latency to 3ms by suppressing the Overload
parameter in the Torpedo Studio's speaker simulation and thus reducing the CPU load to
accelerate the processing.
5.4.2 Sync
Sync: The Torpedo Studio can be synchronized with an external clock ("Wordclock") or with
input digital signals ("S/PDIF" or "AES/EBU"). If you select an external clock sync, the detected
frequency ("Output Freq.") will be in the Sync menu when the Torpedo Studio is actually locked
