VU
THE VU METER
The VU meter provided on the front panel gives you a visual display of the output of
the amp as its being played. This can be used to ensure clean headroom or to dial in
something a little more aggressive....
1. INSTRUMENT INPUT
There are two instrument inputs, with two sensitivity options. The high sensitivity
toggle is a high impedance toggle to suit passive bass instruments. The Low
sensitivity toggle has an impedance to accurately match the signal from active bass
instruments i.e. those with a built in battery powered pre-amp.
2. EFFECTS SEND/RETURN
A tube driven and recovered effects loop is provided, this is situated between the pre-
amplier and power amplier, ahead of the master volume. The signal level is suitable
for driving a wide range of effects pedals, the level present being entirely dependent on
the level of pre-gain being used. Only effects should be used in this loop.
3. GAIN TRIM
This works as a gain control from crystal clear tones through to full bore rich harmonic
distortion... A little can go a long way...
4. VOLUME
The output control adjusts the overall level of the amplier. Adjust this for your preferred
overall stage playing volume.
5. 4 BAND EQ
This consists of treble, hi-mid, low-mid and bass controls with a vastly enhanced range
of over 40dB at full output.
6. CLIP
This is to indicate when clipping occurs on the output signal of the Two notes DynIR
output to maintain a clear representation of the DynIR.
7. OUTPUT LEVEL
This is to set the output volume of the Two notes DynIR output DI on the rear of the amp.
8. PRE-SET
Select from 6 available on board ofcial Ashdown Two notes DynIR impulse response
cabinets designed by us for you. See table *T.1 for list.

LITTLE BASTARD 2.N USER GUIDE LITTLE BASTARD 2.N USER GUIDE
9. MAINS INPUT
The amplier is tted with a standard IEC connector and supplied IEC lead correct
for the country in which you reside. The Pre-set input VOLTAGE is shown on the rear
panel together with fuse ratings.
10. MAINS
Power on and off with the switch provided once connected to the mains input
11. TORPEDO OUT
This is a balanced XLR DI output derived from the DynIR output.
12. HEADPHONES
There is a 32Ohm headphone out for use in silent practice. The headphone output
is derived from the amplier output transformer and does not include the cabinet
simulation. This is intended for silent practice and monitoring in real-time.
13/14. SPEAKER OUTPUTS
Two speaker output sockets are provided at an impedance of 8 or 4 ohms only ONE
must be used at any one time, the socket being chosen to match the impedance of
the cabinet combination in use at the time.
The on board reactive load enables the amplier to function without a load
connected.
15. TORPEDO LINE IN & DI LINK
The IR DI IN & DI LINK is an option that enables you the possibility of using the LB-
2.N as a re-amping unit to run your pre recorded lines giving them some alternative
tonal options with a number of alternative settings available via the embedded Two
notes Torpedo. The DI LINK push button links/unlinks the DIRECT DI and DynIR to
isolate the signal.
16. DIRECT DI
This is transformer derived from the output and as such will have all the adjustments
made with the tone controls, all effects in use and some inuence from the speaker
in use. The level obtained is dependent on playing volume. But as a general rule is
suitable for line level (0,775V).
17. GROUND LIFT
A ground lift is tted
18. MIDI IN/OUT
Midi IN and OUT sockets are provided to enable control via a midi controller
(available seperatly) over the available functions via the Two notes Torpedo. (See
MIDI for more info).

19. USB - PROGRAM/CHARGE
To either program the on board Two notes Torpedo embededd rmware or with the
handy option to keep your USB device charged...
20. BOOT
The Boot push button is a failsafe feature for in-eld servicing. It insures there is
always a way to restart and reprogram a frozen unit. In particular, if an in-eld update
goes wrong, it allows the end user to restart the unit at home, without having to
send the unit to a service center, which can save lots of time and money.
THE AMPLIFIER
POWER AMPLIFIER
All Valve design featuring a fully oating paraphrase inverter, 4 x EL84 power tubes
with individual self biasing, and Zero negative feedback for a self limiting open
loop response and a good sensitivity to the speakers in use. Output power 30 watts
continuous average into 4 or 8 ohms.
VALVE COMPLEMENT:
PRE - 3 X ECC82 - 1 x ECC83 POWER - 4 X EL84
MIDI
The LB-2.N handles both pre-set change commands (Program Change or PC) and
parameter change commands (Control Change or CC). This way, you can interact
with all the parameters on the unit from any kind of standard MIDI controller, like a
MIDI pedalboard or a keyboard.
Select if the unit is to receive to Program Change and/or Control Change
commands. For example, if you plan to use the pre-set switching (PC), the CC
receive can be Off.
LITTLE BASTARD 2.N USER GUIDE
Set a MIDI channel for the unit to receive. You can choose to receive all channels,
which is useful when you don’t know exactly on which channel the commands are
sent. With the MIDI monitor, check the correct reception of the commands by the
Two notes Torpedo.
See section MIDI Mapping for the tables concerning Program Change and
Command Change.
PROGRAM CHANGE (PC)
Each pre-set on the LB-2.N has a single program number. The pre-set 001 of the
machine is triggered by a MIDI PC 1, you can address the 128 pre-sets, with MIDI PC
1 to MIDI PC 128. This way, it is possible to randomly access the pre-set by sending
the appropriate MIDI PC number.
CONTROL CHANGE (CC)
The table on page 16-18 indicates the Control Change numbers for every
parameter, as well as their range and behaviour.

LITTLE BASTARD 2.N USER GUIDE LITTLE BASTARD 2.N USER GUIDE
THE TORPEDO TECHNOLOGY
To bring you realism and playing comfort, Two notes has developed a unique
technology based on an adaptation of convolution techniques. Starting with the
measurement of an actual cabinet and microphone setup, the embedded Two notes
Torpedo can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, as well as the
microphone’s position in space.
To take full advantage of these digital algorithms, the highest quality audio design
assures a perfect analogue-to-digital conversion and a huge dynamic range to
retain the ultimate playing experience.
This product has been thoroughly tested in professional studios and stage
environments and is the alternative many musicians are looking for, to achieve a
professional sound capture of their amplied instruments. The embedded Two
notes Torpedo will give you the elusive sound of the greatest recording studios and
producers, anytime, anywhere.
3RD PARTY IMPULSE RESPONSES
The LB-2.N is capable of delivering the best bass tones by using the Torpedo
technology, but you can also embed impulse responses that you have purchased or
downloaded for free from 3rd-party developers, in .WAV or .AIFF formats. You can
upload third-party IRs in the LB-2.N using the free Torpedo Remote software.
CREATE YOUR OWN IR’S
Download the free Two note Torpedo BlendIR software from the Two notes Audio
Engineering website. With this software you will be able to capture your own cabinet
+ microphone setup and embed its sound signature into the LB-2.N.

2. Once the TORPEDO REMOTE is installed, connect your LB 30 2.N to the comuser using
a USB A to USB B cable. The USB socket is located on the rear of the amplier.
3. Switch the LB 30 2.N on using the rear mains switch. You do not need to connect any
other leads at this time to the amplier and a speaker is not required. The Class D output
stage allowers for user without a speaker or load attached.
4. Once plugged in, your computer will recognise the LB 30 2.N and install device drivers.
If you wat to check it has installed correctly, in Windows go to: control panel > device
manager > view and click on “Devices by Container” and the LB 30 2.N should show up at
the bottom of the list.
5. You can now start the TORPEDO REMOTE software from the desktop icon.
6. Follow the instructions on screen and click “OK” and your software will connect to the LB
30 2.N and open up the software interface.
7. The LB 30 2.N will have already installed withthe correct Two Notes rmware and
presets by it has not been registered with Two Notes yet. You must now sign up for a free
account and register your LB 30 2.N so it is linked to your account. This allows you to back
up any user-created presets and purchase more CAB SIMs to use with your amp.
All your licenses will the be easily accessible through the software interface which connects you
to your online account.
8. Registered online? You are ready to play! There is the option to use your Two Notes as a guest
but you will not get all the benets from having an account.
9. It is important to spend some time to get to know the various facilities of the software. Two
Notes includes: EQ sections, a Noise Gate, a fully congurable Reverb, an Audio Enhancer, a
Power Amp selector, two Microhoines that can be selected and positioned to your preference, a
guitar tuner and an output level control.
10. To conrm that the software is fully linked to your LB 30 2.N, switch the top panel SIM PRESET
switch to all 6 postiitions and see the resulting chane on the software interface. The SIM LEVEL
control when adjusted should move the purple level slider on the software interface.
11. You are now ready to start playing and recording music, so just connect your LB 30 2.N to an
audio interface via the CAM SIM XLR output and plug your guitar into the input on the front of
the Amp.
12. When you are playing, tyou can change all of the parameters in real time and see all the
different effects that they can have on your tone.
13. When you have nished setting up your tone, you can save this new conguration by clicking
on “save” next to the preset name at the top of the screen. Clicking this will open the SAVE PRE-
SET menu. Only the rst 6 presets in the list will be accessible by the LB 30 2.N so you will be able
to move these around and put your favourites to the top etc. Now switching the SIM PRESET on
the LB 30 2.N to position 1 will access the newly created preset.
14. The CAB SIM XLR output is post-EQ, post-Master Volumes, post-FX LOOP meaning that all
front panel controls will affect the CAB SIM signal. You can add any number of pedals in the input
of the LB 30 2.N and in the FX LOOP, these will all be included in the CAB SIM signal output.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
VU
LE VU-MÈTRE
Le VU-mètre fourni sur le panneau avant vous donne un afchage visuel de la sortie
de l’ampli pendant qu’il est joué. Cela peut être utilisé pour assurer une marge nette
ou pour composer quelque chose d’un peu plus agressif ....
1.ENTRÉE INSTRUMENT
Il y a deux entrées d’instrument, avec deux options de sensibilité. La bascule
haute sensibilité est une bascule à haute impédance adaptée aux instruments de
basse passifs. La bascule de faible sensibilité a une impédance pour correspondre
avec précision au signal des instruments de basse actifs, c’est-à-dire ceux avec un
préampli alimenté par batterie intégré.
2. ENVOI/RETOUR D’EFFETS
Une boucle d’effets pilotée et récupérée par tube est fournie, elle est située entre le
préamplicateur et l’amplicateur de puissance, devant le volume principal. Le niveau
du signal est adapté pour piloter une large gamme de pédales d’effets, le niveau
présent étant entièrement dépendant du niveau de pré-gain utilisé. Seuls les effets
doivent être utilisés dans cette boucle.
3. GAGNER LA GARNITURE
Cela fonctionne comme un contrôle de gain des tons cristallins jusqu’à la distorsion
harmonique riche et complète... Un peu peut aller très loin...
4. LE VOLUME
La commande de sortie ajuste le niveau général de l’amplicateur. Ajustez-le pour votre
volume de jeu de scène global préféré.
5. ÉGALISEUR 4 BANDES
Il s’agit de commandes d’aigus, de haut-médium, de bas-médium et de basse avec une
plage considérablement améliorée de plus de 40 dB à pleine puissance.
6. AGRAFE
Cela permet d’indiquer quand un écrêtage se produit sur le signal de sortie de la sortie
Two notes DynIR an de maintenir une représentation claire du DynIR.
7. NIVEAU DE SORTIE
Cela permet de régler le volume de sortie de la sortie DynIR Two notes à l’arrière de
l’ampli.
8. PRÉRÉGLÉ
Choisissez parmi 6 enceintes à réponse impulsionnelle Ashdown Two notes DynIR
ofcielles disponibles à bord, conçues par nous pour vous. Voir le tableau *T.1 pour la
liste.

9. ENTRÉE SECTEUR
L’amplicateur est équipé d’un connecteur IEC standard et d’un câble IEC fourni
adapté au pays dans lequel vous résidez. La TENSION d’entrée prédénie est
indiquée sur le panneau arrière avec les calibres des fusibles.
10. SECTEUR
Power on and off with the switch provided once connected to the mains input
11. TORPILLE SORTIE
Il s’agit d’une sortie XLR DI symétrique dérivée de la sortie DynIR.
12. ÉCOUTEUSES
Il y a une sortie casque de 32 ohms pour une utilisation silencieuse. La sortie casque
est dérivée du transformateur de sortie de l’amplicateur et n’inclut pas la simulation
d’enceinte. Ceci est destiné à la pratique silencieuse et à la surveillance en temps
réel.
13/14. SORTIES HAUT-PARLEUR
Deux prises de sortie haut-parleur sont fournies à une impédance de 8 ou 4 ohms
seulement UNE doit être utilisée à la fois, la prise étant choisie pour correspondre à
l’impédance de la combinaison d’enceintes utilisée à ce moment-là.
La charge réactive embarquée permet à l’amplicateur de fonctionner sans charge
connectée.
15. TORPEDO LINE IN & DI LINK
L’IR DI IN & DI LINK est une option qui vous permet d’utiliser le LB-2.N comme
unité de réamplication pour exécuter vos lignes préenregistrées en leur donnant
des options tonales alternatives avec un certain nombre de paramètres alternatifs
disponibles via le intégré Deux notes Torpedo. Le bouton-poussoir DI LINK relie/
dissocie le DIRECT DI et DynIR pour isoler le signal.
16. DI DIRECTE
Il s’agit d’un transformateur dérivé de la sortie et, en tant que tel, tous les réglages
seront effectués avec les commandes de tonalité, tous les effets utilisés et une
certaine inuence du haut-parleur utilisé. Le niveau obtenu dépend du volume de
jeu. Mais en règle générale convient au niveau ligne (0,775V).
17. LEVAGE AU SOL
Un ascenseur au sol est installé
18. Entrée/Sortie MIDI
Les prises Midi IN et OUT sont fournies pour permettre le contrôle via un contrôleur
midi (disponible séparément) sur les fonctions disponibles via le Two notes

19. USB - PROGRAMMER/CHARGER
Pour programmer le micrologiciel embarqué Two notes Torpedo ou avec l’option
pratique pour garder votre périphérique USB chargé...
20. BOTTE
Le bouton-poussoir de démarrage est une fonction de sécurité intégrée pour
l’entretien sur le terrain. Il garantit qu’il y a toujours un moyen de redémarrer et de
reprogrammer une unité gelée. En particulier, si une mise à jour sur le terrain se passe
mal, cela permet à l’utilisateur nal de redémarrer l’unité à la maison, sans avoir à
envoyer l’unité à un centre de service, ce qui peut économiser beaucoup de temps et
d’argent.
L’AMPLIFICATEUR
AMPLIFICATEUR
Conception entièrement à valve avec un inverseur de paraphrase entièrement ottant,
4 tubes de puissance EL84 avec auto-polarisation individuelle et zéro retour négatif
pour une réponse en boucle ouverte auto-limitante et une bonne sensibilité aux haut-
parleurs utilisés. Puissance de sortie 30 watts en moyenne continue sous 4 ou 8 ohms.
COMPLÉMENT VALVULAIRE:
PRE - 3 X ECC82 - 1 x ECC83 POWER - 4 X EL84
MIDI
Le LB-2.N gère à la fois les commandes de changement de préréglage (changement
de programme ou PC) et les commandes de changement de paramètre (changement
de commande ou CC). De cette façon, vous pouvez interagir avec tous les paramètres
de l’unité à partir de n’importe quel type de contrôleur MIDI standard, comme un
pédalier MIDI ou un clavier.
Sélectionnez si l’appareil doit recevoir des commandes de changement de programme
et/ou de changement de commande. Par exemple, si vous prévoyez d’utiliser la
commutation préréglée (PC), la réception CC peut être désactivée.
LITTLE BASTARD 2.N MODE D’EMPLOI
Dénissez un canal MIDI pour que l’unité reçoive. Vous pouvez choisir de recevoir
tous les canaux, ce qui est utile lorsque vous ne savez pas exactement sur quel canal
les commandes sont envoyées. Avec le moniteur MIDI, vériez la bonne réception
des commandes par le Two notes Torpedo.
Voir la section MIDI Mapping pour les tableaux concernant Program Change et
Command Change.
CHANGEMENT DE PROGRAMME (PC)
Chaque préréglage sur le LB-2.N a un seul numéro de programme. Le preset
001 de la machine est déclenché par un MIDI PC 1, vous pouvez adresser les 128
presets, avec MIDI PC 1 à MIDI PC 128. De cette façon, il est possible d’accéder
aléatoirement au preset en envoyant le numéro de PC MIDI approprié.
CHANGEMENT DE COMMANDE (CC)
Le tableau de la page 16-18 indique les numéros de changement de commande
pour chaque paramètre, ainsi que leur plage et leur comportement.

LA TECHNOLOGIE TORPEDO
Pour vous apporter réalisme et confort de jeu, Two notes a développé une
technologie unique basée sur une adaptation des techniques de convolution. En
commençant par la mesure d’une conguration réelle d’enceinte et de microphone,
le Two notes Torpedo intégré peut reproduire avec précision le système tel qu’il a
été mesuré, ainsi que la position du microphone dans l’espace.
Pour tirer pleinement parti de ces algorithmes numériques, la conception audio de
la plus haute qualité assure une conversion analogique-numérique parfaite et une
vaste plage dynamique pour conserver l’expérience de jeu ultime.
Ce produit a été soigneusement testé dans des studios professionnels et des
environnements de scène et est l’alternative que de nombreux musiciens
recherchent pour obtenir une capture sonore professionnelle de leurs instruments
ampliés. Le Two notes Torpedo intégré vous donnera le son insaisissable des plus
grands studios d’enregistrement et producteurs, à tout moment, n’importe où.
RÉPONSES IMPULSIONNELLES DE TIERS
Le LB-2.N est capable de fournir les meilleures tonalités de basse en utilisant
la technologie Torpedo, mais vous pouvez également intégrer des réponses
impulsionnelles que vous avez achetées ou téléchargées gratuitement auprès de
développeurs tiers, aux formats .WAV ou .AIFF. Vous pouvez télécharger des IR tiers
dans le LB-2.N à l’aide du logiciel gratuit Torpedo Remote.
