Loadbox + speaker miking simulator + studio effects
The Torpedo VB-101 is a DI for your head amplifier composed of 3 main parts : a 150W RMS Loadbox to play silently with your amp, a speaker miking simulator powered by the acclaimed Torpedo technology with all your favorite cabs inside and a Post-FX section with all the processing effects you usually need when miking a guitar cab. (Low cut filter, 5-band EQ, exciter, compressor).
The Torpedo VB-101 is made to be used with a guitar/bass amp.
Plug it in place of your regular cabinet and enjoy all the great characteristics of your audio amplification chain (from the guitar to the amp, including effects pedals) silently !
The Torpedo VB-101 can replace the whole guitar sound recording process with a powerful simulation of the cabinet, microphone, mic preamp and studio acoustics. Choose your speaker among the thirty available, your microphone among the 8 most used microphones in the studio and sculpt your sound with the included effects section (EQ, Exciter, Compressor).
The sound recording is done silently and with perfect control of all the critical parameters.
