2. About the Torpedo C.A.B. M+
2.1 Introducing the Torpedo C.A.B. M+
Two notes Audio Engineering is proud to introduce the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ (Cabinets in A Box), the
missing link between the guitarist's rig and the PA and/or an audio interface. Use the best virtual
cabinets available or load in your own IR files. This is the pedal version of the critically-acclaimed
Torpedo hardware series, optimized for live playing. This product has been developed through years
of technical research, with great attention to the needs of guitarists, bassists and sound technicians
confronted with the challenges of miking instrument amplifiers, on stage or in the studio. 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 can't 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 don't want to perform using digital modelling systems, which
may compromise their playing style and sound.
For these players, the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ offers a “virtual” alternative to traditional miking, using a
technology derived from the convolution reverberation, to achieve a degree of realism never
experienced previously with simulators. The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is the perfect line output everybody
should have at the final stage of their pedal board or after their amp section to send the sound
directly to a PA or a recorder.
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ update (v 5.03 and above) includes a stunning clean preamp, audio enhancer,
tuner, additional reverbs and noise gate to work seamlessly with the power amp simulator, cab sims
and the other amazing features you know and love about the original Torpedo C.A.B. M+.

Pedals have come a long way in the last 25 years and many players use them to build their tone. With
the new clean preamp and a choice of 8 power amps to choose from makes the Torpedo C.A.B. M+
the perfect clean pedal platform. Place the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ at the end of your board and go direct
to your P.A. or audio interface – the silence in your playing area will be golden, but your tone will still
be roaring where it matters the most.
Place your Torpedo C.A.B. M+ between your tube amp and your speaker to ensure you get the full
experience of your amp tone direct to the desk. With this, the Two notes cab sims will make your FOH
or DAW tone as incredible as what is coming from your speaker.
Torpedo C.A.B. M+ comes with a carefully picked selection of 32 Two notes cabinets, a clean preamp
based on an all original '74 SilverFace B'man, tube power-amp emulations and a wide range of effects
designed to shape your tone, to replicate what you have always heard in your head.
You can add many other cabinets to your licence (and your products) through the Two notes Store,
our one-stop online virtual cabinet store.
The virtual miking is achieved by choosing one cabinet and two microphones, and fine-tuning the
position of each microphone in front of the cabinet. The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ allows the user to assume
the role of the sound engineer in a professional studio.
The Torpedo Technology: to bring you 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 and microphone setup, the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ 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 assures a perfect analog-to-
digital conversion and a huge dynamic range to retain the ultimate playing experience.
This product has been thoroughly tested in professional studios and stage environments and is the
alternative many musicians are looking for, to achieve a professional sound capture of their amplified
instruments. The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ will give you the elusive sound of the greatest recording studios
and producers, anytime, anywhere.
Please keep in mind that the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is not a load box: when
connecting the speaker output of your amplifier into the amp input of the
Torpedo C.A.B. M+, you must always connect a speaker cabinet to the THRU
output. The amplifier output impedance must always match the speaker
cabinet impedance.

2.3 Only A Speaker Simulator?
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is a stand alone unit that you can rely on for any situation, whenever sending
direct sound to a PA or silent playing.
The role of the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is to replace the following elements of the traditional guitar or bass
setup:
the guitar/bass preamplifier
the guitar/bass power amplifier
the speaker cabinet
the microphone
the microphone preamplifier
the guitar/bass preamplifier
In order to provide a signal that is the closest possible to a traditional guitar/bass miking in a
professional studio environment.
The miking is achieved in 3 steps with the Torpedo C.A.B. M+:
Turn the preamp on and choose a power amplifier (or switch both off if you are using a1.
traditional amplifier), a speaker cabinet and up to two microphones (Power Amp, Speaker, and
Microphone sections)
Position the microphones inside the virtual studio (Miking window and parameters)2.
Shape the signal (EQ, enhancer and Reverb sections)3.
At each step, Two notes Audio Engineering implements its know-how to offer the most advanced
simulations on the market and ensure absolutely realistic quality both for the musician (in terms of
playing sensation) and for the listener (in terms of sound quality). You can load up to 32 Two notes
cabinets in the Torpedo C.A.B. M+. Download the free Torpedo Remote software (Mac OS X and
Windows PC) from the Two notes Audio Engineering website, and you will be able to add or remove
the stored cabinets. There are currently more than 280 Two notes cabinets available in the Two notes
Store that you can try in real time and purchase (requires a working Internet connection).
2.3.1 Preamp
The preamp is based on an all original '74 Fender SilverFace B’man.
2.3.2 Tube Stage Output
When using the guitar/bass preamp with other speaker emulators, the player may feel they miss the
power amps contribution to the overall sonic texture. Many musicians view this element a vital part of
their sound, and with the Torpedo C.A.B. M+, you get the possibility to utilize it as well. Two notes
Audio Engineering has developed an original tube-stage modelling that gives you a choice of 4
different tube models (6L6, EL34, EL84 and KT88) in Push-Pull (PP) in AB class, or Single Ended (SE) in
A class configurations. You can push this stage like a conventional amplifier and enjoy the response
that a clipping/compressed power section gives.

User's manuals - https://wiki.two-notes.com/
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ can be used as a super-DI for keyboards. The tube-amp simulation feature,
developed for guitarists and bassists, can also be a very interesting device to warm up the sound of a
synthesizer, an organ, or a digital piano.
2.3.3 EQ Section
When recording guitars or basses, it is common to apply a few effects to shape the sound before
sending it to a PA or a recorder. In the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ you will find a simple but efficient EQ filter
with three modes, GUITAR, BASS or CUSTOM.
2.3.4 Reverb
When recording a guitar or a bass, the room sound is really important, especially with distant miking.
With the Torpedo C.A.B. M+, you get the option to choose how the recording environment sounds!
2.3.5 The Torpedo technology, convolution and Impulse Responses
The impulse response (IR) of a system describes its behavior under the form of a very detailed filter.
The convolution technique uses IRs to simulate the behavior of particular systems, such as reverbs,
speakers, EQ.
It is the most accurate way to simulate sound signatures that are linear (i.e. without distortion) and
time-invariant (i.e. without modulation, compression, hysteresis). It is particularly well suited for
speaker miking simulation.
Two notes have developed a unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution
techniques. Starting with a measure of a real cabinet + microphone setup, the Torpedo
C.A.B. M+ can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, including the
microphone's position in space by using IR synthesis.
2.3.6 3rd Party Impulse Responses
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is capable of delivering the best guitar and bass tones by using the Torpedo
technology, but you can also embed impulse responses that you have purchased or downloaded for
free from 3rd-party developers, in .WAV or .AIFF formats. You can upload third-party IRs in the
Torpedo C.A.B. M+ using the free Torpedo Remote software. The Torpedo C.A.B+ allows the use of IRs
between 40 ms and 200 ms long. There is up to 512 memory slots for 3rd party IRs in the pedal. Use
the supplied memory card to load more 3rd party IRs in to the Torpedo C.A.B. M+.
2.3.7 Create Your Own IR's
Download the free Torpedo BlendIR software from the Two notes Audio Engineering website. With this
software you will be able to capture your own cabinet + microphone setup and embed its sound
signature into the Torpedo C.A.B. M+.

3. Connecting the Torpedo C.A.B. M+
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ finds its place either:
on your pedalboard among your usual stompboxes, direct to interface/PA on a silent stage;
between the amp and the speaker cabinet as an amp DI; or
after a load box, for silent playing/recording of your amplifier at its sweet spot.
To create a lightweight rig with a pedal board, place the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ on your pedal board
knowing that the best results are achieved by placing it before the time-based and modulation effects
(chorus, delay, reverb…), which then become brighter and clearer. This position also allows taking
advantage of the possible stereo of these effects. This is similar to the way things are done in the
studio, where modulations are often applied to guitar and bass tracks after recording.
The general rule of thumbs is that if you treat your Torpedo C.A.B. M+ as your ‘amplifier’, you can
place the effects in the chain as you would your amp. Some will go after (or in the loop) and some
before – there are no right or wrong ways to do this, only the way that sounds best to your ears!
To use the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ as an amp DI, place it after the power amp section of your amp by
connecting the speaker output of your amp to the Amp Input of the Torpedo C.A.B. M+, and
connecting your cabinet to the Speaker Output of the pedal. (DISCLAIMER: The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is
not a load box). Using the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ this way ensures you to send your exact full guitar tone
to the PA or an audio interface to have the same quality studio-grade sound every single time you
play.
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ can also be used after a load box connected to your amplifier in place of the
speaker cabinet (such as the Torpedo Captor). Simply connect the line output of the load box to the
Line Input of the C.A.B. M+. This will provide a silent playing rig, where you can take full advantage of
your amplifier's tone, without having to deal with sound level issues.
Setting the IN LEVEL switch
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is equipped with an input gain switch (IN LEVEL, item N°6 in figure 2.2). It
allows you to dial the right amount of level coming into the pedal depending on the source
(instruments, pedals, amps), in order to maximize signal-to-noise ratio. The best setting is obtained
when the input level is as high as possible, while avoiding clipping. To do that, start by setting the IN
LEVEL switch to +12dB, play, and lower it if the input clips (clipping is indicated on the display).
Here as some guidelines depending on what's connected to the input of the Torpedo C.A.B. M+:
When using an instrument, the +12dB setting will probably work best. You may have to lower it
to 0dB if the instrument has a strong output though.
When using pedals or a line source (typically a sound interface), 0dB will probably work best.
When using an amplifier, you'll get a pretty strong signal, so -24dB is recommended. If the amp
is low power, like 10w or under, 0dB may work best.
In any case these are just guidelines. When in doubt, follow the proper procedure detailed just above.
