CHAPTER 3. CONNECTING THE TORPEDO C.A.B.
2. Use the FX loop of the amplifier, plug the Send Output into the Torpedo C.A.B.. Depending on
the output impedance and level of the FX loop Output try both IN LEVEL selector positions to
find the appropriate Input level. And depending on the input impedance and output level of
the Torpedo C.A.B. you may want to try both selector positions for OUT LEVEL too (Line level is
higher than Amp).
When using the Torpedo C.A.B. with a loadbox, we recommend switching OFF the Power Amp
simulation section.
Playing in silence is a great feature, but at some point you have to listen to what you play! Here
are a few options to use at home, in the studio or on stage:
1. Listening through the headphones out,
2. Having a local monitoring system on stage, by duplicating the Line OUT with a mixer,
3. Having in-ear monitors or wedge speakers controlled by a sound engineer.

3 Using the Torpedo C.A.B. with another modeling product

You can use the Torpedo C.A.B. with other modeling products, hardware or software units. Most
of the time it is not possible to switch off their Power amp simulation section (a whole amplifier is
simulated at a time), we recommend in the case to switch off the Power Amp simulation on the
Torpedo C.A.B..

4 Remote control

With a MIDI foot controller, you gain access to the Preset navigation and even to parameter chan-
ging in real time. The Torpedo C.A.B. handles both PROGRAM CHANGE and CONTROL CHANGE
commands.
The Torpedo C.A.B. is a standalone unit, but you can control it from your computer (PC Windows or
Mac OSX) with the Torpedo Remote software using a USB connection. Create, save and load presets,
load new cabinets or Impulse Response (IR) files. Download the Torpedo Remote for free on
notes website.

When using a tube amplifier, always make sure that a proper load
(cabinet or loadbox) is connected to the speaker Output.
We recommend putting any modulation, reverb and delay effects
AFTER the Torpedo C.A.B.. This is what is usually done in the studio, es-
pecially when using stereo effects. The Torpedo C.A.B. being MONO,
any stereo signal sent to the unit will be converted to MONO. Moreover,
if you set up the Power Amp simulation to a high volume, some distor-
tion will appear. It is totally different to send reverb or delay into a
distortion stage (like you would do in the effect loop of an amplifier)
and to send a distorted sound into a reverb or a delay (like you will do
by following this advice). Try both and pick the one that fits you.
