Okay, so, I finally got a Torpedo Live today after having saved up for a few years. I was attracted to it thanks to Glenn Fricker.
I'm beginning to wonder if it was a mistake.
I have only one amplifier due to me being poor, but it has a sound that I love.
It is a Roland 15x amplifier.
The issue with this is that I live in an apartment, so I can't record it, which is where the Torpedo Live comes in.
My audio interface is a PreSonus AudioBox 22 VSL that does NOT have s/pdif, as you can see going by the image. The manual says that Torpedo Live does 4, 8, and 16 ohm amps, so the Roland 15x is good (4 ohm). I have followed this video from start to end (except I am on Windows 10, not mac) around 6-8 times now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcMvO7AUhVM
Again, I don't have a s/pdif jack, so my only option was to do it that way as shown in the video. The manual makes it seem like you HAVE to have a s/pdif, which you do NOT need. Extremely annoying that the manual is so poorly written, especially for a newbie like myself.
Anyway, I use one cable from the output jack on the amp, to the input 8 ohm (not sure if this actually is correct, but am afraid of testing things as it may damage the amp) on the Torpedo, one cable from the line output from the torpedo to the line in on the audio interface, and lastly one cable from the amp line in to the guitar itself). So, I do what the video instructs, step-by-step, and I hear nearly nothing. I am very afraid of maxing out on the volume because the manual says to not push the amp to the max due to damage risk. I also increase the volume itself on the torpedo to get lamps to at least light up, but, again, nearly no volume, and now I am afraid that all of my savings have been for nothing.
Routing again:
Torpedo 8 ohm Input jack > amp output
Torpedo Line Output > PreSonus AudioBox 22 VSL Line Input A
Amp Input > Guitar
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
