Configuring and using the Torpedo C.A.B.
1 The Torpedo C.A.B. interface
The Torpedo C.A.B. parameters are organized in menus accessible by different push-buttons and
knobs you will see on figure 2.1:
• Two 2-function rotary encoders: PRESET/PARAMETER, OUTPUT LEVEL/VALUE
• One push-button: EDIT/HOLD TO SAVE.
• Two selector switches: IN LEVEL and OUT LEVEL.
• A and B programmable footswitches.
When pushing a button or turning an encoder, you will see a parameter moving on the two-line
display (item 3 in figure 2.1).
2 Level control
The Input selector switch (GTR for instrument level, Line for line level) controls the Input gain of the
unit. The Torpedo C.A.B. is a digital product, it is absolutely critical to avoid any saturation of the Input
signal and avoid the risk of considerably reducing audio quality. The best signal sent to the Torpedo
C.A.B. will be loud enough to benefit of the full dynamic range of the analog to digital converter,
without distortion.
The Input gain adjustment must be done in presence of an Input signal. The CLIP red led is ON in
case of saturation at the Input stage: lower the volume of the unit plugged into the Torpedo C.A.B.
and/or change the selector switch position.
In case you have different type of sounds that will be sent alternatively to the Torpedo C.A.B.
(clean, crunch, distortion...), try to limit the volume difference between these different sounds.
3 Programmable Footswitches
The A and B footswitches are programmable. In other words, you can assign two different functions
to A and B you will activate by either a temporary, short click or a long click (hold). The factory setting
is the following:
Footswitch
A
B
Please refer to the SETUP menu section to assign special functions to A and B, the different functions
