The phantom or external power supply is not needed to use the loadbox.
4.3.2 Thru output
If you connect a speaker cabinet to the THRU output, the internal loadbox is disconnected: your amp
is directly connected to the speaker cabinet. As a result, the impedance of the speaker cabinet
plugged into the THRU output should match the impedance of the amp. In this situation, the
impedance of the Captor doesn't matter anymore: for example, you can use the 16 ohms output of
your amp and a 16 ohms speaker cabinet in the THRU output, even if the Captor is a 4 or 8 ohms
version.
The THRU output is useful to insert the Captor between your amp and speaker cabinet, as a mean to
simply pick up the sound of the amp. You can keep a speaker cabinet on stage for direct monitoring,
and still get a properly picked-up sound with speaker simulation in the PA.
4.3.3 Power attenuation
The ATT output provides a -20dB attenuation. Just plug a speaker
cabinet in the ATT output, and crank up your amp while keeping a
manageable volume.
The speaker cabinet plugged in the ATT output can have a different impedance than the amp.
However, this will lead to changing the attenuation ratio, which may vary from the designed -20dB.
You can use both the THRU and ATT outputs at the same time, but the speaker at the ATT output will
be much quieter, so it doesn't seem very useful.
4.3.4 Line output
The LINE output of the Captor connects to any product with a line input: an audio interface, an FX
processor, another Torpedo product, and so on. This output is dry, meaning there is no speaker
simulation applied to the signal: it's the raw signal coming straight out of the amp, from the SPEAKER
INPUT. This dry signal should be processed with a speaker simulation before being monitored.
Once the LINE output is connected to an audio interface and a DAW, the signal can be processed with
Wall of Sound. Please refer to the Wall of Sound section for more details.
Another possibility is to use a Torpedo hardware product to do the speaker simulation. For example,
the LINE output can be connected to a Torpedo C.A.B.
When connecting the LINE output to a balanced jack input, use a balanced TRS jack cable if possible.
Using an unbalanced TS jack cable (a standard guitar or patch cable) is possible, but may lead to
added noise or interferences.
The level of the signal can be adjusted with the OUT level potentiometer.
