User's manuals - https://wiki.two-notes.com/
Plug your Torpedo C.A.B. M as the last mono pedal on your pedalboard (for example after your
distortion pedal). You connect your pedalboard to the AMP/INST/LINE IN (item N°4 in the overview
diagram above) of the C.A.B. M, and the DI OUT (item N°12) or LINE OUT (item N°13) to a mixing desk
or an audio interface. Set the input gain switch IN LEVEL (item N°6) so that the level coming in the
pedal is visible on the bargraph of the screen, and not clipping.
To create a lightweight rig with a pedalboard, place the Torpedo C.A.B. M on your pedalboard 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 to take 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.
With this amp-less setup, we recommend to turn the Power Amp section (see section 4.3.1 for all the
details about the Power Amp section) of the C.A.B. M so that the combination of your pedalboard and
the emulated power-amp simulates a complete amp rig.
We recommend putting any modulation, reverb and delay effects AFTER the Torpedo C.A.B. M. This is
what is usually done in the studio, especially when using stereo effects. The Torpedo C.A.B. M being
MONO, any stereo signal sent to the unit will be converted to MONO. Moreover, if you set up the
Power Amp simulation to a high volume, some distortion will appear. It is totally different to send
reverb or delay into a distortion stage (like you would do in the effect loop of an amplifier) and to
send a distorted sound into a reverb or a delay (like you will do by following this advice). Try both and
pick the one that fits you.
