Torpedo CAB question

[sysexguy]

You can definitely fully evaluate whether a Torpedo will be an asset to you using your existing gear and the WOSIII plug in demo.

Your HotPlate has a line level out that you can send to your Daw and then process using the plug-in.

Having the CAB pedal would have the advantage of not being subject to the DAW/plug-in latency when playing into the DAW. Most if not all DAW's compensate for this on playback and many are able to handle plugins on input rather well, but it can be a factor.

You would also have a quicker set-up and the ability to take your setup live or to another studio if required.

You may try the ISO-line out in between the amp and hotplate (or speaker if no attenuation is required) however, and we're BIG fans of everything Suhr (and Canada's top Suhr dealer), the ISO line out is not what I use or recommend for this application.

Two Notes also offers the Live or Reload which would consolidate all these items into a single interface that is proven and optimized for the task at hand. As an amp owner looking for a great studio solution, that would be the way to go...many users find their amps sound much better loaded with the Torpedo's reactive load and if speed and convenience are your thing, you can be recording with a Live in the time it takes for your tubes to warm up. You can then experiment with other cabinet files, third party IR's and various EQ and blend tweaks once you are most confortable with the process.

So is it your opinion that the hotplate line out actually sounds better than the Suhr? If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of your store? I'm in Ottawa so would be good to know where I can go for quality gear. ..

Hi, www.diffusion-audio.com is my company. In addition to distributing Two Notes Torpedo, we are a dealer for a large variety of high end guitar products and our showroom is located in Rosemere Quebec, just north of Montreal. I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have.

The Iso Line Out and the HotPlate are 2 completely different products. In my experience, the transformer in the Iso-Line Out saturates which may not matter when used for tapping a dry amp to add a stereo f/x amp for a wet/dry/wet rig but didn't work well enough for recording and working with speaker emulation. This is just my opinion.

We do have a number of endorsee and pro users that have worked with just about every loadbox and attenuator out there and the feedback we've gotten is that the Torpedo's load is the preferred choice.
