unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution techniques. Starting with the measurement
of an actual cabinet + microphone setup, Torpedo Wall of Sound can accurately reproduce the
system as it was measured, as well as the microphone's position in space.
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. The musician simply plugs the Torpedo Reload in place of his/her cabinet,
connecting the amplifier's speaker output to it and without modifying any of his/her usual settings (or
connected effect pedals as applicable). From there, the Torpedo Reload Loadbox output signal can be
sent to any microphone preamplifier and that signal recorded thanks to your DAW on a track
embedding the Torpedo Wall of Sound plugin.
The Torpedo Reload comes with a library of 24 cabinets and 8 microphones among the most
commonly used models in the world, which you can use in Wall of Sound. You can also upgrade and
add many other cabinets through "La Boutique", our online virtual cabinet store. The virtual miking is
done by choosing one cabinet and one microphone, then fine-tuning the position of the microphone in
front of the cabinet. Wall of Sound thus enables the user to assume the role of the sound engineer in
a professional studio.
3.6 Torpedo Wall of Sound, only A Speaker Simulator?
The Torpedo Wall of Sound is a software plug-in you can embed in your recording
program. The plugin should be used on tracks containing guitar or bass signal recorded from a
preamplifier (guitar, bass, or any product with a line output) — or from a loadbox like the Torpedo
Reload if you want to record the signal coming from the speaker output of your amp.
The role of Wall of Sound is to replace the following elements of the traditional guitar or bass setup:
the guitar/bass power amplifier
the speaker cabinet
the microphone
the microphone preamplifier
In order to provide a signal that is the closest possible to a traditional guitar/bass miking in a
professional studio environment.
The miking is achieved in 3 steps in Wall of Sound :
1. Choose a power amplifier (or switch it off if you are using a loadbox), a speaker cabinet and a
microphone (Gear menu)
2. Position the microphone inside the virtual studio (Miking menu)
3. Shape the signal (Post-FX menu).
At each step, Two notes Audio Engineering implements its know-how to offer the most advanced
simulations on the market and ensure absolutely realistic quality both for the musician (in terms of
playing sensation) and for the listener (in terms of sound quality).
Note: the evaluation version of Torpedo Wall of Sound is limited to 8 microphones and 2
cabinets, but the Torpedo Reload comes with a full license of Wall of Sound, offering 24
