    Please contact your authorized TWO NOTES AUDIO ENGINEERING dealer in order to obtain an RMA to return the complete product to the Authorized TWO NOTES AUDIO ENGINEERING Service Center closest to you, with proof of purchase, during the applicable warranty period.
  • Page 6 — otherwise overheating may cause damage, both to the loadbox and to the amplifier. The Torpedo Reload is a loadbox. This term indicates that the Torpedo Reload is a load which can electrically replace the speaker cabinet while dissipating (transforming into heat) the power coming out of the amplifier.
  • Page 7 • The Torpedo Reload has a built in fan, as there is quite a lot of power dissipated into heat inside the box. We selected a so called “silent fan”, but as it is running fast, it is never entirely silent. This said, you can consider that, in normal use (hearing your guitar through monitors, or headphones), you can barely hear the fan.

    Recording your guitar or bass amplifier in silence has always been the purpose of the Torpedo products, but with the Torpedo Reload Two Notes has striven to gather together all of the major functions and products you may need in a recording room: A Hi-Z instrument DI so you can record you guitar’s signal directly;...

RE-ACT™ speaker outputs 3.4 The Torpedo Reload’s advanced functions 3.4.1 RE-ACT™ Attenuators are usually known for the negative impact they have on your tone in cases of heavy attenuation, which ismainly due to the fact that the load presented to the amplifier will vary depending on the attenuation level.

  • Page 11 This problem is now solved, thanks to the Torpedo Reload’s unique MATCH™ feature. 3.4.4 MATCH™ This Two Notes innovation is the solution to the problem of level adjustment when re-amplifying. If the level is too high your amplifier will tend to over-saturate, if the level is too weak the tone will lack dynamics and liveliness.
  • Page 12 The Torpedo Reload comes with a Torpedo Wall of Sound plugin license. Torpedo Wall of Sound offers a “virtual” alternative to traditional miking to achieve a degree of realism never experienced previously with simulators.
  • Page 13 Torpedo Wall of Sound 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.
  • Page 14 Torpedo Wall of Sound. 4 Connecting the Torpedo Reload 4.1 Overview The Torpedo Reload offers a solution for silent and quality sound pick-up in many situations. The following illustrations show the most common situations the Torpedo Reload has been created for. 1. Guitar/Bass 4.

    LOAD IMPEDANCE: shows the selected impedance on the Torpedo Reload. This value must match the value of your amplifier’s speaker output. Go to the back of the Torpedo Reload and select either 4, 8 or 16 Ohms. NB: The Torpedo Reload must be turned off when you select the SPEAKER input impedance.
  • Page 16 This first setup is what you will use when you want to connect your instrument to your sound card properly to do some recording and/or to feed an amp-modeler plugin. The Hi-Z (High Impedance) instrument input of the Torpedo Reload will handle your guitar or bass signal so you face no loss of dynamic or frequency: Plug your guitar to the DI input and the DI output to your microphone preamplifier (or channel 1...
  • Page 17 Always match the value of the impedance on the Torpedo Reload (either 4, 8 or 16 Ohms) to your amplifier’s speaker-output impedance. The Torpedo Reload will normally get warm during use, so you must not put it in a closed box or obstruct the air vents.
  • Page 18 Such noise is usually not heard, simply because it is normally covered by the sound coming from the loudspeaker. The sound may be a little different depending on whether a Torpedo Reload is placed between your amplifier and your cabinet or not. That is normal, as the internal speaker impedance of the Torpedo Reload will be slightly different from your cabinet’s.
  • Page 19 With the Torpedo Reload, you can do both of those things: record the dry guitar with the DI, and then use the REPLAY™ to send that guitar track back to an amplifier. We will here present first a silent REPLAY™...
  • Page 20 4.5.2 The full setup: DI + LOADBOX + miking In the previous setup we decided to achieve a silent REPLAY™, but you can perform some traditional miking at the same time, with a controlled sound level thanks to the Torpedo Reload’s power attenuator.
  • Page 21 We shall assume here that the silent REPLAY™ setup is operative. Activate the track-1 monitoring so the guitar’s dry sound will come back to the audio interface into the REPLAY™ input. That way the Torpedo Reload will be able to compare the guitar’s signal with the one sent by the audio interface.
