Variphi; Overload; Dry / Wet; Bypass - Two Notes torpedo studio User Manual

8.4 Variphi

When use with a single microphone, you will not notice the effect of Variphi, but as soon as you
add another microphone (for example two different microphones and cabinet combinations on A &
B), the Variphi parameter will give you a way to explore the tonal possibility of phase cancellation.

8.5 Overload

A loudspeaker is essentially a system designed to faithfully reproduce the sound transmitted by the
amplifier. Nonetheless, a loudspeaker is determined by certain particular audio properties depend-
ing on the power that is applied to it.
The "Overload" parameter reproduces the natural saturation occurring when the loudspeaker is
driven too hard. At maximum value, you get the sound of a loudspeaker close to destruction. A
good start would be to select a value between 0% and 20%, then increasing it if you want to create
a special effect.

8.6 Dry / Wet

Combine the dry, unprocessed sound, with the your A of B channel sound. This parameter is
particularly interesting on clean sounds for bass and guitar, or when searching for new and original
sounds.

9 BYPASS

There are two "BYPASS" switches, each associated to a red LED. The left one switches off the Tor-
pedo simulation, the right one switches off the "POST FX" module.

10 POST FX

You carefully prepared your guitar/bass sound in the previous section, it is now time to tailor your
guitar sound for mixing, whether for recording or on stage.
The "POST FX" section brings you some essential tools to quickly get a studio-quality ready-to-mix
sound.

10.1 Low Cut

It is usual to apply a low-cut filter on the guitar to make some room for the bass and bass drum in
the lower frequencies. The low-cut filter can also be used to remove extreme low frequencies that
can lead to an imprecise sound on the bass.
Two Notes Audio Engineering
• The Variphi function allows you to play with the phase of the
signal. When recording with two microphones you will often
experience the phase cancellation effects. A slight differ-
ence in the placement of the microphones plus the micro-
phones own specifications can lead to that effect, which
can be either a problem (for example when all the bass fre-
quencies disappear...) or a way to shape your tone.
