2020/09/07 17:45 7/36 Torpedo Captor X User's Manual 2.3 Is the use of a load box totally silent? We usually talk about “silent recording” when a load box is involved. If we compare the load box solution to a traditional cabinet miking solution, it is obviously several orders of magnitude quieter, but you will still experience some minor sounds, noises, that have to be taken into account: Your guitar or bass strings can be heard. This is obvious, but it can be disturbing, depending on your environment.
