Connecting the Torpedo Reload

• as the impedance does not change with the attenuation, the tone of your amp stays the same;

• the volume you hear in the room can be set continuously, you get REAL master-volume control

(SPEAKER parameter), after your ampliﬁer’s master volume;

• the speaker-output impedance of your ampliﬁer is independent from the speaker impedance

of the actual speaker cabinet you plug on the Torpedo Reload. This opens up a great many fun

possibilities of cabinet mixing.

4.2 Connection

Connecting the Reload as an attenuator is really quite simple, provided you observe the following:

• Always match the value of the impedance on the Torpedo Reload (either 4, 8 or 16 Ohms) to

your ampliﬁer’s speaker-output impedance.

• The Torpedo Reload will normally get warm during use, so you must not put it in a closed box or

obstruct the air vents.

• You can connect one or two cabinets to the Torpedo Reload, or no cabinet at all if you want

to use the loadbox only (silent playing and recording).

• The impedance of the cabinets you may plug to your amp is independent from the impedance

of that ampliﬁer. You can very well use the 8-Ohm speaker output of your amp while having one

8-Ohm cabinet and another 16-Ohm cabinet plugged to the Torpedo Reload! Please refer to

"Possible post-attenuation speaker combinations", Part 7.2.3 for more information about cabinet

matching.

1. Connect your ampliﬁer’s

speaker out to the Torpedo

Reload’s SPEAKER IN.

2. Make sure the impedance se-

lected on the Torpedo Reload

matches the value at your

amp’s output.

3. Connect a cabinet to the

lower SPEAKER OUT jack.

4. Connect a second cabinet,

if needed, to the higher

SPEAKER OUT jack.

The loadbox inside the Torpedo Reload remains active whether you

have plugged a cabinet to it or not. We recommend using ampliﬁers

with a maximum power rating of 150 W RMS (200 W peak). Basically,

the loadbox turns your ampliﬁer’s power into heat. If the temperature

inside the Torpedo Reload is too high due to an excess of power, DO

NOT WORRY: the active security system will put your amp on a safe

security load, while the Torpedo Reload cools down.
