About the Torpedo Reload
Torpedo Wall of Sound comes with a library of 24 cabinets and 8 microphones among the most
commonly used models in the world. You will achieve perfect virtual miking by choosing one cabinet
and one microphone, and fine-tuning the position of the microphone in front of the cabinet.
6 Torpedo Wall of Sound, only a speaker simulation?
The Torpedo Wall of Sound is a software plug-in you can embed in your recording program. The plug-
in 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 Torpedo Reload if you want to record
the signal coming from the speaker output of your amp.
The role of this plug-in 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 actual guitar/bass miking as achieved traditionally
in a professional studio environment.
The miking is achieved in 3 steps with the Torpedo Wall of Sound :
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).
With each step, Two Notes Audio Engineering implements its know-how to bring you the most
advanced simulations on the market and ensure perfect realism both for the musician (playing sen-
sations) and for the listener (sound quality).
Note: the evaluation version of Torpedo Wall of Sound is limited to 8 microphones and 2 cabinets;
the Torpedo Wall of Sound Reload Edition offers 24 cabinets.
6.1 Tube Stage Output
The Torpedo Wall of Sound handles any kind of instrument track. When using a guitar/bass preampli-
fier with other speaker emulators, the guitarist/bassist may miss the power amplifier’s contribution to
the overall sonic texture. Many musicians get their sound from some particular use of that element
and the Torpedo Wall of Sound offers you the possibility to do the same.
Two Notes has developed an original tube stage modeling, which allows you to choose between
4 different tube models in Push-Pull or Single Ended configurations. You can push this tube stage like a
conventional amplifier and look for that subtle yet particular distortion. If the Torpedo Wall of Sound is
used as a super-DI for keyboards, this feature that was originally developed for guitarists and bassists
can also be very interesting to warm-up the sound of a synthesizer, organ or a digital piano.
