to the directivity of the loudspeakers. At the maximum position (100%), the microphone is placed 3
meters (10 feet) away from the cabinet.
• CENTER: Determine the distance between the axis of the loudspeaker and the microphone
(placed at right angle). The on-axis position (0%) allows the maximum amount of treble fre-
quencies which are highly directional. Moving the microphone away from the axis decreases
the treble, resulting in an enhancement of bass response. At maximum position (100%), the mi-
crophone is placed at the edge of the speaker when Distance is 0%, and 1 meter (3 feet) away
from the axis when Distance is 100%.
• POSITION: in standard sound capture, the microphone is usually placed in front of the cabinet.
However, placing the microphone behind the cabinet can be quite interesting. The sound is
usually softer and darker. This is particularly obvious with closed cabinets, less with open ones.
EQ
This is a simple yet powerful 5-band EQ. Changing the mode (guitar or bass) shifts the band fre-
quencies to focus on the interesting signal frequencies for the corresponding instrument.
• EQ On: Activate the EQ filter.
• MODE: Guitar or Bass mode change the center frequencies of the EQ bands to adapt it to your
instrument.
• 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 2000Hz, 6000Hz (Guitar mode): center frequency of each band, from the
lowest to the highest. You can adjust the gain, measured in dB, of each band.
• 50Hz, 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 4000Hz (Bass mode): center frequency of each band, from the
lowest to the highest. You can adjust the gain, measured in dB, of each band.
Reverb
To enhance you experience with the Torpedo C.A.B., especially when playing with headphones,
your unit features a room reverb.
• Room: The room type determines the type of reverb you will apply to your guitar or bass tone.
You have access to 8 different rooms: Studio A & B, Hall 1 & 2, Cathedral, Crypt, Basement and
Loft.
• Dry/Wet: Determines the amount of reverb to be applied to you tone. More "Wet" means more
reverb on your sound.
