Hey guys,
A quick question about Torpedo Live's tone. Had this unit for about two weeks and absolutely love its versatility and ease of use. I play anything from blues to classic rock to shred, and I own a H&K Statesman and a Mesa Boogie Triaxis.
When I hook em up to the Torpedo though, regardless of the cab/mic combination I choose, I am having the feeling that some of the liveliness of my tone gets sucked out. The amp doesn't breathe the same way anymore and it feels like somebody put a strong limiter/gate on on my guitar. This is particularly noticeable on my leads. My drummer's comments are "Man, it feels so pristine, but it's digital and it's not alive anymore".
I can feel it in my fingers too. Yesterday I played for a couple of hours, and my left hand started hurting, which almost never happens to me. I tried hooking up both the preamp section of the Statesman (from the efx loop) to the Torpedo; and then its speaker output. Tried cranking up the amp, then turned down the volume. Same result. Same result with the Triaxis too.
I read about so many people raving about the Torpedo's tone and I am banging my head against the wall… Is this normal? Is there anything I might be doing wrong? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you so much in advance!
