Connecting the TORPEDO VB-101
3 Combined setup
On stage or in the studio, you may need to feel the sound coming out of a cabinet. You can
simply connect a cabinet to the THRU output on the TORPEDO VB-101. You will be able to hear the
sound coming from the amp as usual, without any simulation or effect from the TORPEDO VB-101.
Once you plug a cabinet into the THRU output:
1. The amplifier is directly connected to the cabinet,
2. The internal loadbox of the TORPEDO VB-101 is disconnected.

On this figure above, we have added an optional microphone to take the sound directly from the
cabinet. That way you can then get at the same time, in one take:
1. A classic track with a real cabinet and a microphone;
2. A simulated track using the TORPEDO VB-101 library of speakers and microphones;
3. A dry digital track with no simulation, for later re-miking (see next section).
This gives you a wide range of sonic possibilities, for you to make sure you get the tone you are
looking for!
When you plug a cabinet into the THRU output, the impedance of that
cabinet is the one that your amplifier sees. In other words, with a 4-
Ohm cabinet, you need to connect to the 4-Ohm output of your am-
plifier. In this configuration, the loadbox inside the TORPEDO VB-101
will be disconnected. That way, you can override the "8 Ohms only"
limitation of the TORPEDO VB-101.
