Hi Everyone,

Is it normal for the Torpedo Live to emit noise as if there was a small speaker inside it? Also the fan is very noisy. Is this normal as well?

I am also having some connectivity issues. At times I get a very low "staticy" sound. For example The other day I had set everything up at my home and all I was getting was a very low output. So low in fact that you could barley hear it. So I started to remove everything from the chain down to Guitar into Amp into Torpedo into a UAD Apollo Twin and was still having the issue. I then changed speaker cable from Amp to Torpedo and the issue was still there. I then tried another head.... The issue was still there. Then all of a sudden it started working! I had this exact same issue live at a gig. Obviously a connection issue somewhere. To me I seem to isolated it to the Torpedo's speaker connection jack. Can anyone offer some advice?

Thanks
 
Hi, the noise you hear is normal, see the FAQ at Two Notes http://support.two-notes.com/knowledgeb ... article=96

Regarding the intermittent signal, assuming your speaker cable is correct, there may be something with either the thru or line input jacks. You could try connecting those ie connect the thru to a cabinet or connect a line source to the line input. Just the act of plugging in may dislodge something interfering with the jack's internal switching. You could also try a blast of compressed air.
 
Regarding the noise from the fan, it may or may not be normal. The fan does make a noise, but it is usually very low. You can maybe send us a recording of the noise through the Help Desk : http://support.two-notes.com/index.php?a=add

Regarding the low level problem, you could also see what happens when you turn the In Level potentiometer. If you get scratches, level jumps or things like that, the pot may be damaged and this may explain the problem.
 
Thanks for the responses guys. I will record some audio of the fan.

As for signal issue I will try the compressed air.

Also the level pot from what I recall (at work at the moment) doesn't have scratches or volume jumps. I will have a look when I get home and report back.
