Best of all, this thing really - and I do mean really - sounds like a miked-up speaker cabinet. The power amp emulation is also remarkably realistic sounding. Of course, a significant part of the sound is going to come from whatever you plug into it (the preamp also contributes a lot to your overall "amp sound"), but it works great with a wide variety of preamps and pedals. As I said earlier, moving the virtual mic around the screen is almost uncanny in the way it realistically changes the sound. Yes, it would be nice to have onboard reverb included "in the box", but you can easily add your own - either with a pedal inline after the Torpedo C.A.B., or with a plugin running in your DAW. With a touch of reverb ambience and some early reflection simulation, the sound is essentially indistinguishable from a miked amp. Yes, it's that good, and yes, you'd better believe I want one for my own rig. It's a terrific sounding unit that's the perfect solution for my direct recording needs - and probably yours as well.
