Two Notes Audio Engineering Torpedo VB-101

This is THE top notch loadbox with mics and speakers simulators for your guitar or bass amp made by TWO NOTES.

Imagine 8 mics,10 bass cabinets and 16 guitar cabinets loaded in a box.Use your OWN amp , preamp, poweramp or whatever and not a bad crappy simulation of your amp.You can use the best of both worlds. Tubes rock and impulses responses from the torpedo are the best I ever heard.

this is from the website, too lazy to do it by myself.But there is all you need.I use the S/P DIF connection and link it with a fireface 800

I use it with a bogner fish preamp and a vht black beauty and it's amazing.

Check out a test I made in my home studio, by night , without any policemen knocking on my door.

you can choose the mic position and there is also an exciter , a compressor and two or three stuffs that you can use to tweak and magnify your sound.

In a studio (or home studio) you have a sound that you can't reproduce on stage.Who already saw a neumann U87 in front of a cabinet ?? Noone ?? ok now you can...

A new cabinet IR available each month for free on their website.

I would recommend this torpedo to any serious musician.

I give a 10 for each section.Just try it.

And of course if it's broken or stolen....etc...
