Instruction Manual

Configuring and using TORPEDO VB-101
• Exciter: Switch the exciter ON or OFF.
• Gain: Control the quantity of effect applied to the sound.
• Freq: Control the center frequency of the exciter. For exam-
ple, presence for guitar is usually found at 2 or 3 kHz. Air can
be added by placing this frequency at 6 or 8 kHz.
10.4 Comp
Using a compressor will reduce the dynamics of your sound, but can also be used to create
special effects, such as pumping. The parameters of the TORPEDO compressor are the same as
for a standard studio compressor.
• Compression: Turn the compressor ON or OFF — and when
ON, see the level of compression applied to the signal, in dB
scale.
• Threshold: Control the signal level above which the com-
pression occurs.
• Ratio: Control the ratio of the compression.
• Attack: Control the attack time, in milliseconds.
• Release: Control the release time, in milliseconds.
• Make-up Gain: Control the gain added at the output of the compressor.
10.5 Spatial
The "Spatial" parameter is a psycho-acoustic effect creating a
sensation of stereo from the mono sound of the TORPEDO VB-101.
This effect is particularly audible with headphones, making the
sound more pleasant. The effect can be turned ON or OFF.
