LED indicators

You will find different LED indicators on the Torpedo Reload front panel:

• SIGNAL / CLIP: indicates the presence of a signal in either the DI,

REPLAY™ or SPEAKER input (green color). The LED lights up red

whenever that signal is too strong — if so, you need to lower the

volume at the corresponding input.

• MATCH™: Increase the REPLAY™ potentiometer value if the up ar-

row lights up, and lower the value if the down arrow lights up. "OK"

means that the level of the signal sent to the amplifier through the

REPLAY™ Amp Out and that of the guitar’s signal in the DI input

are at matching volumes.

• LOAD IMPEDANCE: shows the selected impedance on the Torpedo Reload. This value must

match the value of your amplifier’s speaker output. Go to the back of the Torpedo Reload and

select either 4, 8 or 16 Ohms.

NB: The Torpedo Reload must be turned off when you select the SPEAKER input impedance. Your

amplifier should not be powered on during the process.

• TEMPERATURE (Heat warning): this last indicator will light up if the temperature inside the Torpedo

Reload is too high, which activates the security load. If so, please lower the volume on your

amplifier or stop playing for some time, so the temperature decreases.

DI recording

This first setup is what you will use when you want to connect your instrument to your sound card

properly to do some recording and/or to feed an amp-modeler plugin. The Hi-Z (High Impedance)

instrument input of the Torpedo Reload will handle your guitar or bass signal so you face no loss of

dynamic or frequency:

1. Plug your guitar to the DI input and the DI output to your microphone preamplifier (or channel 1

on the mixer, or embedded preamplifier on your audio interface), and that preamplifier to Line

channel input 1 on your audio interface.

2. Activate Track 1 for recording & live monitoring, select channel 1 as an input.

3. Start recording!
