The correct use of your amplifier with a loadbox requires some precautions. Because of the silence while playing, it is much easier to accidentally run your amplifier beyond the reasonable limits set by the manufacturer than when using a real speaker cabinet with it.

This said, you can consider that, in normal use (hearing your guitar through monitors, or headphones), you can barely hear that fan. 3 About the Torpedo Captor 3.1 Introducing the Torpedo Captor The Torpedo Captor is the little brother of the award-winning Torpedo Reload.

Starting with the measurement of an actual cabinet + microphone setup, the Torpedo products embedding digital processing can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, as well as the microphone’s position in space.

As a result, the impedance of the speaker cabinet plugged into the THRU output should match the impedance of the amp.

2017/10/02 13:08 15/21 Torpedo Captor User's Manual 5.1 On stage with a regular speaker cabinet On stage, the Torpedo Captor shines by its simplicity. First, insert the Torpedo Captor between the amp and speaker cabinet. Then, connect the DI output to the mixing console, turn on the 48V phantom power on the mixing console, and select either the GTR or BASS setting of the SPKR SIM switch.

This means you have to match the impedance of the amp's speaker output and Captor. Please note that, with either of these configurations, you can put a real microphone in front of the speaker and mix it with the DI output of the Captor.
2017/10/02 13:08 17/21 Torpedo Captor User's Manual If silent miking is needed for a silent stage, you can remove the speaker cabinet of the previous configuration. Just connect the amp to the Torpedo Captor, and the DI output to the mixing console. In this configuration, just like when using the Att output, the amp is connected to the internal loadbox of the Captor. You have to match the impedance of the amp's speaker output and Captor. 5.
