About the TORPEDO WoS III
1 Introducing the TORPEDO WoS III
Two Notes Audio Engineering is proud to introduce the TORPEDO WoS III, the software version of the critically-
acclaimed Torpedo hardware series. This product has been developed through years of technical research, 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, and bulky and heavy
cabinet 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 WoS III 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.
2 Only a speaker simulation ?
The TORPEDO WoS III is a software plugin you can embed in your recording program. The plugin should be
used on tracks containing guitar or bass signal recorded from a preamplifier (guitar, bass, or any product with
a line output) or from a loadbox (like the Two Notes LB-202), if you want to record the signal coming from the
speaker output of your amp.
The role of this plugin is to replace the following elements of the traditional guitar or bass setup:
• the guitar/bass power amplifier
• the speaker cabinet
• the microphone
• the microphone preamplifier
to provide a signal that is the closest possible to a traditional guitar/bass miking in a professional studio envi-
ronment.
The miking is made in 3 steps with the TORPEDO WoS III :
1. choose a power amplifier (or switch it off if you are using a loadbox), a speaker cabinet and a microphone
(Amplifier, speaker and microphone section),
2. place the microphone in the virtual studio (Miking window and parameters),
3. shape the signal (Low Cut, Eq, Exciter and Comp sections).
