About the TORPEDO Live

1 Introducing the TORPEDO Live

Two Notes Audio Engineering is proud to introduce the TORPEDO Live, the optimized for live playing version of the

critically-acclaimed TORPEDO hardware series. This product has been developed through years of technical re-

search, with great attention to the needs of guitarists, bassists and sound technicians confronted the challenges

of miking instrument ampliﬁers, on stage or in studio. Our goal is to provide ease of use, reliability, versatility and,

above all, perfect audio quality.

The Torpedo technology was created as an answer to the high pressure musicians have to deal with: lack

of time, limited gear availability, loud ampliﬁers that can’t be played at desired volume, as well as bulky and

heavy cabinets to carry. In addition, many musicians are more comfortable with their analog ampliﬁer and

effect pedals, and don’t want to perform using digital modeling systems, which may compromise their playing

style and sound.

For them, the TORPEDO Live offers a "virtual" alternative to traditional miking, using a technology derived from

the convolution reverberation, to achieve a degree of realism never experienced previously with simulators. The

musician simply plugs the TORPEDO Live in place of his cabinet, connected to the speaker output of his ampliﬁer,

without modifying his usual settings (or connected effect pedals as applicable).

The TORPEDO Live comes with a large library of 45 cabinets and 8 microphones among the most commonly

used models in the world. The virtual miking is done by choosing one cabinet and one microphone, and ﬁne-

tuning the position of the microphone in front of the cabinet. The Torpedo allows the user to assume the role of

the sound engineer in a professional studio.

The TORPEDO Technology : to give you realism and playing comfort, Two Notes developed a unique technol-

ogy based on an adaptation of convolution techniques. Starting with the measurement of an actual cabinet

+ microphone setup, the TORPEDO Live can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, as well as

the microphone position in space. In order to take full advantage of these digital algorithms, the highest quality

audio design assures a perfect analog-to-digital conversion and a huge dynamic range to retain the ultimate

playing experience.

This product has been thoroughly tested in professional studio and stage environments and is the alternative

many musicians were waiting for professional sound capture of their ampliﬁed instruments. The TORPEDO Live

will give you the elusive sound of the greatest recording studios and producers, every time, everywhere.
