instrument amplifiers, on stage or in the studio. The Two notes team has taken extreme care to
design the highend, professional Torpedo Studio rack unit. 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 cannot be played at desired volume, as well
as bulky and heavy cabinets to carry. In addition, many musicians are more comfortable with their
analog amplifier and effect pedals, and feel reluctant to perform using digital modeling systems that
might compromise their playing style and sound.
For them, the Torpedo Studio offers a “virtual” alternative to traditional miking, using a technology
derived from convolution reverberation, to achieve a degree of realism never experienced with
simulators before. The musicians simply plug into the Torpedo Studio in place of their cabinet by
connecting it to the speaker output of their amplifier, without modifying their usual settings (or
connected effect pedals, depending on the case).
The Torpedo Studio comes with a large library of 50 cabinets and 8 microphones among the most
commonly used models in the world. You can also upgrade and add many other cabinets through “La
Boutique”, our online virtual cabinet store. The virtual miking is done by choosing one cabinet and
one microphone, then fine-tuning the position of the microphone in front of the cabinet. The Torpedo
thus enables the user to assume the role of the sound engineer in a professional studio.
The Torpedo Technology: for unsurpassed realism and playing comfort, Two notes has developed a
unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution techniques. Starting with the measurement
of an actual cabinet + microphone setup, the Torpedo Studio can accurately reproduce the system
as it was measured, as well as the microphone’s position in space.
In order to take full advantage of these digital algorithms, the highest quality audio design guarantees
perfect analog-to-digital conversion and a wide dynamic range to provide the ultimate playing
experience.
This product has been thoroughly tested in professional studio and stage environments and is the
alternative many musicians have been waiting for to professionally capture the sounds of their
amplified instruments. The Torpedo Studio will bring you the elusive sound of the greatest recording
studios and producers, anytime, anywhere.
