cpiquette maybe you already contacted us on the Help Desk and we will address the question over there, but just to put a little information to everybody here, we will work on a white paper that adresses the main issues you can encounter when you first use a (hopefully working ^^) Torpedo Live, CAB or Studio.
You should check that:
- is your amp on a regular cabinet distorting at the same level you put it on the Live? There is also what we can call a magnifying effect due to the miking process, which is different from the listening to a regular cabinet directly. The microphone will pick and emphasize some aspects of your tone that you can't hear standing next to a cabinet.
- Make sure the power amp modeling is switched off on the Torpedo
- There is a Dry Wet option that may be set to Dry/Wet or Wet/Dry (Setup Menu/output mode), make sure it is Wet/Wet and read the manual about that function
These are the essentials, we will put a more thorough article on the Help Desk, with maybe some tips on recording.
