Two Notes VB-101 - Manual (Page 33)

Configuring and using TORPEDO VB-101
2. Save that new current (i.e., "normal") set of parameters into the temporary one (see above).
The two sets are now similar.
3. Make some more changes — for example, change the speaker model. Now the two sets are
different, and you can hear the difference by switching back and forth between the two (see
above).
Another interesting way of using that functionality is this: the temporary set of parameters is not
dependent on any particular preset. If you load a preset when on the normal set of parameters, the
content of the temporary set will not be affected. Thus, you can copy a preset into the temporary
set, then load a second one, and compare the two together.
This constitutes a simple yet powerful way of comparing either a full preset to another, a modified
preset to the original one, or just preview a change made to a single parameter.
7 SPKR/MIC
In the "SPKR/MIC" menu, you can choose which power amp, speaker cabinet, and microphone
you want to use. On A and B, you have 8 microphones and over 45 speaker cabinets available. As
you are surely used to choosing your guitar/bass and amp to get a specific type of sound, you will
notice here how much the choice of speaker cabinet and microphone will impact the final sound.
Furthermore, the "User" parameter gives you access to your own impulse responses (i.e., .tur files,
measured with the TORPEDO Capture software), to impulse responses shared by other TORPEDO VB-
101 users, or to "standard" third-party impulse responses (.wav or .aiff files), either downloaded or
purchased.
This feature expands the sonic and creative possibilities to infinity. Do not hesitate to use audio files
with no direct link to speaker measuring, and you will experiment totally new sonic textures.
To add such impulse responses (IRs) to your TORPEDO VB-101, please report to the TORPEDO Re-
mote user’s manual.
7.1 Power Amp
When using the TORPEDO VB-101 with any kind of guitar/bass preamplifier, or even with an electric
piano or a synthesizer, you will need the sonic color that the final stage of a traditional amplifier brings
— that is, the power amplifier. Plug your device into the LINE input of the TORPEDO VB-101 and enjoy
the typical sound of the Two Notes electrically accurate virtual tube power amplifier. Please note
that A and B share the same power amplifier.
• Power Amp: Activate the power amplifier simulation by turn-
ing this parameter "On".
• Model: Choose the circuit topology (Push Pull or Single
Ended) and the tube type (6L6, EL34, EL84, KT88).
• Volume: Set up the output volume of your virtual power amplifier.
• Presence: This setting affects the tube-stage frequency as regards loudness.
• Depth: This setting affects the tube-stage frequency as regards bandwidth.
• Pentode/Triode: Select how the tube is used, either in triode or in pentode mode. Pentode
mode has more headroom and volume than triode.
