2. About the Torpedo C.A.B. M+
2.1 Introducing the Torpedo C.A.B. M+
Two notes Audio Engineering is proud to introduce the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ (Cabinets in A Box), the
missing link between the guitarist's rig and the PA and/or an audio interface. Use the best virtual
cabinets available or load in your own IR files. This is the pedal version of the critically-acclaimed
Torpedo hardware series, optimized for live playing. This product has been developed through years
of technical research, with great attention to the needs of guitarists, bassists and sound technicians
confronted with the challenges of miking instrument amplifiers, on stage or in the studio. Our goal is
to provide ease of use, reliability, versatility and above all, perfect audio quality.
The Torpedo technology was created as an answer to the high pressure musicians have to deal with:
lack of time, limited gear availability, loud amplifiers that can't be played at desired volume, as well
as bulky and heavy cabinets to carry. In addition, many musicians are more comfortable with their
analog amplifier and effect pedals, and don't want to perform using digital modelling systems, which
may compromise their playing style and sound.
For these players, the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ offers a “virtual” alternative to traditional miking, using a
technology derived from the convolution reverberation, to achieve a degree of realism never
experienced previously with simulators. The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is the perfect line output everybody
should have at the final stage of their pedal board or after their amp section to send the sound
directly to a PA or a recorder.
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ update (v 5.03 and above) includes a stunning clean preamp, audio enhancer,
tuner, additional reverbs and noise gate to work seamlessly with the power amp simulator, cab sims
and the other amazing features you know and love about the original Torpedo C.A.B. M+.

https://wiki.two-notes.com/ Printed on 2020/06/26 14:07
Pedals have come a long way in the last 25 years and many players use them to build their tone. With
the new clean preamp and a choice of 8 power amps to choose from makes the Torpedo C.A.B. M+
the perfect clean pedal platform. Place the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ at the end of your board and go direct
to your P.A. or audio interface – the silence in your playing area will be golden, but your tone will still
be roaring where it matters the most.
Place your Torpedo C.A.B. M+ between your tube amp and your speaker to ensure you get the full
experience of your amp tone direct to the desk. With this, the Two notes cab sims will make your FOH
or DAW tone as incredible as what is coming from your speaker.
Torpedo C.A.B. M+ comes with a carefully picked selection of 32 Two notes cabinets, a clean preamp
based on an all original '74 SilverFace B'man, tube power-amp emulations and a wide range of effects
designed to shape your tone, to replicate what you have always heard in your head.
You can add many other cabinets to your licence (and your products) through the Two notes Store,
our one-stop online virtual cabinet store.
The virtual miking is achieved by choosing one cabinet and two microphones, and fine-tuning the
position of each microphone in front of the cabinet. The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ allows the user to assume
the role of the sound engineer in a professional studio.
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 Torpedo C.A.B. M+ can accurately reproduce the
system as it was measured, as well as the microphone's position in space. In order to take full
advantage of these digital algorithms, the highest quality audio design assures a perfect analog-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 amplified
instruments. The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ will give you the elusive sound of the greatest recording studios
and producers, anytime, anywhere.
Please keep in mind that the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is not a load box: when
connecting the speaker output of your amplifier into the amp input of the
Torpedo C.A.B. M+, you must always connect a speaker cabinet to the THRU
output. The amplifier output impedance must always match the speaker
cabinet impedance.

2.3 Only A Speaker Simulator?
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is a stand alone unit that you can rely on for any situation, whenever sending
direct sound to a PA or silent playing.
The role of the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is to replace the following elements of the traditional guitar or bass
setup:
the guitar/bass preamplifier
the guitar/bass power amplifier
the speaker cabinet
the microphone
the microphone preamplifier
the guitar/bass preamplifier
In order to provide a signal that is the closest possible to a traditional guitar/bass miking in a
professional studio environment.
The miking is achieved in 3 steps with the Torpedo C.A.B. M+:
Turn the preamp on and choose a power amplifier (or switch both off if you are using a1.
traditional amplifier), a speaker cabinet and up to two microphones (Power Amp, Speaker, and
Microphone sections)
Position the microphones inside the virtual studio (Miking window and parameters)2.
Shape the signal (EQ, enhancer and Reverb sections)3.
At each step, Two notes Audio Engineering implements its know-how to offer the most advanced
simulations on the market and ensure absolutely realistic quality both for the musician (in terms of
playing sensation) and for the listener (in terms of sound quality). You can load up to 32 Two notes
cabinets in the Torpedo C.A.B. M+. Download the free Torpedo Remote software (Mac OS X and
Windows PC) from the Two notes Audio Engineering website, and you will be able to add or remove
the stored cabinets. There are currently more than 280 Two notes cabinets available in the Two notes
Store that you can try in real time and purchase (requires a working Internet connection).
2.3.1 Preamp
The preamp is based on an all original '74 Fender SilverFace B’man.
2.3.2 Tube Stage Output
When using the guitar/bass preamp with other speaker emulators, the player may feel they miss the
power amps contribution to the overall sonic texture. Many musicians view this element a vital part of
their sound, and with the Torpedo C.A.B. M+, you get the possibility to utilize it as well. Two notes
Audio Engineering has developed an original tube-stage modelling that gives you a choice of 4
different tube models (6L6, EL34, EL84 and KT88) in Push-Pull (PP) in AB class, or Single Ended (SE) in
A class configurations. You can push this stage like a conventional amplifier and enjoy the response
that a clipping/compressed power section gives.

User's manuals - https://wiki.two-notes.com/
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ can be used as a super-DI for keyboards. The tube-amp simulation feature,
developed for guitarists and bassists, can also be a very interesting device to warm up the sound of a
synthesizer, an organ, or a digital piano.
2.3.3 EQ Section
When recording guitars or basses, it is common to apply a few effects to shape the sound before
sending it to a PA or a recorder. In the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ you will find a simple but efficient EQ filter
with three modes, GUITAR, BASS or CUSTOM.
2.3.4 Reverb
When recording a guitar or a bass, the room sound is really important, especially with distant miking.
With the Torpedo C.A.B. M+, you get the option to choose how the recording environment sounds!
2.3.5 The Torpedo technology, convolution and Impulse Responses
The impulse response (IR) of a system describes its behavior under the form of a very detailed filter.
The convolution technique uses IRs to simulate the behavior of particular systems, such as reverbs,
speakers, EQ.
It is the most accurate way to simulate sound signatures that are linear (i.e. without distortion) and
time-invariant (i.e. without modulation, compression, hysteresis). It is particularly well suited for
speaker miking simulation.
Two notes have developed a unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution
techniques. Starting with a measure of a real cabinet + microphone setup, the Torpedo
C.A.B. M+ can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, including the
microphone's position in space by using IR synthesis.
2.3.6 3rd Party Impulse Responses
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is capable of delivering the best guitar and 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
Torpedo C.A.B. M+ using the free Torpedo Remote software. The Torpedo C.A.B+ allows the use of IRs
between 40 ms and 200 ms long. There is up to 512 memory slots for 3rd party IRs in the pedal. Use
the supplied memory card to load more 3rd party IRs in to the Torpedo C.A.B. M+.
2.3.7 Create Your Own IR's
Download the free 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 Torpedo C.A.B. M+.

3. Connecting the Torpedo C.A.B. M+
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ finds its place either:
on your pedalboard among your usual stompboxes, direct to interface/PA on a silent stage;
between the amp and the speaker cabinet as an amp DI; or
after a load box, for silent playing/recording of your amplifier at its sweet spot.
To create a lightweight rig with a pedal board, place the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ on your pedal board
knowing that the best results are achieved by placing it before the time-based and modulation effects
(chorus, delay, reverb…), which then become brighter and clearer. This position also allows taking
advantage of the possible stereo of these effects. This is similar to the way things are done in the
studio, where modulations are often applied to guitar and bass tracks after recording.
The general rule of thumbs is that if you treat your Torpedo C.A.B. M+ as your ‘amplifier’, you can
place the effects in the chain as you would your amp. Some will go after (or in the loop) and some
before – there are no right or wrong ways to do this, only the way that sounds best to your ears!
To use the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ as an amp DI, place it after the power amp section of your amp by
connecting the speaker output of your amp to the Amp Input of the Torpedo C.A.B. M+, and
connecting your cabinet to the Speaker Output of the pedal. (DISCLAIMER: The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is
not a load box). Using the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ this way ensures you to send your exact full guitar tone
to the PA or an audio interface to have the same quality studio-grade sound every single time you
play.
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ can also be used after a load box connected to your amplifier in place of the
speaker cabinet (such as the Torpedo Captor). Simply connect the line output of the load box to the
Line Input of the C.A.B. M+. This will provide a silent playing rig, where you can take full advantage of
your amplifier's tone, without having to deal with sound level issues.
Setting the IN LEVEL switch
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is equipped with an input gain switch (IN LEVEL, item N°6 in figure 2.2). It
allows you to dial the right amount of level coming into the pedal depending on the source
(instruments, pedals, amps), in order to maximize signal-to-noise ratio. The best setting is obtained
when the input level is as high as possible, while avoiding clipping. To do that, start by setting the IN
LEVEL switch to +12dB, play, and lower it if the input clips (clipping is indicated on the display).
Here as some guidelines depending on what's connected to the input of the Torpedo C.A.B. M+:
When using an instrument, the +12dB setting will probably work best. You may have to lower it
to 0dB if the instrument has a strong output though.
When using pedals or a line source (typically a sound interface), 0dB will probably work best.
When using an amplifier, you'll get a pretty strong signal, so -24dB is recommended. If the amp
is low power, like 10w or under, 0dB may work best.
In any case these are just guidelines. When in doubt, follow the proper procedure detailed just above.

User's manuals - https://wiki.two-notes.com/
3.1 Using the C.A.B. M+ with your pedalboard
Plug your Torpedo C.A.B. M+ as the last mono pedal on your pedal board (for example after your
distortion pedal). You connect your pedal board to the AMP/INST/LINE IN (item N°4 in the overview
diagram above) of the Torpedo C.A.B. M+, and the DI OUT (item N°12) or LINE OUT (item N°13) to a
mixing desk or an audio interface. The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ provides a clean foundation tone for your
pedalboard. For optimal results, we STRONGLY suggest you set the “IN LEVEL” switch at unity, which
is 0dB. If you wish to boost the input and use the +12dB setting (which will cause some obvious
artefact floor noise due to the input gain being increased), we have built a filter (see section 4.3.6.3
High Gain Input Filter) to keep your tone as pure as possible and keep the artefact floor noise to a

minimum. This filter is set at 37% by default but you may need to tweak that to find the place that is
the right balance for you rig.
To create a lightweight rig with a pedal board, place the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ on your pedal board
knowing that the best results are achieved by placing it before the time-based and modulation effects
(chorus, delay, reverb), which then become brighter and clearer. This position also allows taking
advantage of the possible stereo of these effects. This is similar to the way things are done in the
studio, where modulations are often applied to guitar and bass tracks after recording.
With this amp-less setup, we recommend turning the Preamp and Power Amp sections (see section
4.3.1 for all the details about the Power Amp section) of the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ so that the
combination of your pedal board and the emulated preamp and power-amp simulate a complete amp
rig.
We recommend putting any modulation, reverb and delay effects AFTER the
Torpedo C.A.B. M+. This is what is usually done in the studio, especially
when using stereo effects. The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ being MONO, any stereo
signal sent to the unit will be converted to MONO. Moreover, if you set up
the Power Amp simulation to a high volume, some distortion will appear. It
is totally different to send reverb or delay into a distortion stage (like you
would do in the effect loop of an amplifier) and to send a distorted sound
into a reverb or a delay (like you will do by following this advice). Try both
and pick the one that fits you.
3.2 Using the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ with an amp
When using the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ with an amp, we recommend switching OFF the
Preamp and Power Amp simulation sections.

2020/06/26 14:07 13/35 Torpedo C.A.B. M+ User's Manual
User's manuals - https://wiki.two-notes.com/
With a cabinet
Insert the C.A.B. M+ between your amp and your load box/cabinet. To do so, connect your amp to the
AMP/INST/LINE IN (item N°4 in the overview diagram above) of the C.A.B. M+ with a speaker cable
and connect the SPEAKER OUT (item N°5) of the C.A.B. M+ to your cabinet, again with a speaker
cable.
Depending on the output level of the amp, set the IN LEVEL of the pedal to have the appropriate input
level on the screen. With an amp, start with the IN LEVEL switch on 0 dB. If it is clipping (message will
appear on the screen in the input bargraph), lower it to -24 dB.

https://wiki.two-notes.com/ Printed on 2020/06/26 14:07
With a load box
Connect the speaker output of the amp to the AMP IN of the C.A.B. M+, then connect the SPEAKER
OUT of the pedal to the amp/speaker input of a load box (depending on the load box you will use, the
input is either described Amp input or Speaker input) such as the Torpedo Captor). The SPEAKER OUT
of C.A.B. M+ is an uncompensated output (meaning without any kind of filter/analog speaker
simulation, a dry output).
It is also possible to plug the load box before the C.A.B. M+ . Here is how to do it: connect the load
box to the speaker output of your amp, then connect the uncompensated output (meaning without
any kind of filter/analog speaker simulation, a dry output) of the load box to the input of the Torpedo
C.A.B. M+ . Depending on the output level of the load box, set the IN LEVEL of the pedal to have the
appropriate input level on the screen.
Using a combo amp
If you are using a combo, unplug the speaker cable connected to the amp section of the combo, plug
this embedded combo speaker in the SPEAKER OUT of the Torpedo C.A.B M+, and connect the AMP IN
of the pedal to the output section of the amp with an additional speaker cable.
The C.A.B. M+ is NOT a load box. Always keep a load box or a cabinet
connected to the SPEAKER OUT when an amp is connected to the AMP IN of
the pedal.
3.3 Remote control
* With a computer
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is a standalone unit, but you can control it from your computer (PCWindows or
Mac OSX) with the Torpedo Remote software using a USB connection Create, save and load presets,

4. Configuring and using the Torpedo C.A.B.
M+
4.1 The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ interface
The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ is organized around 2 environments: PERFORM and MENU accessible with the
2 encoders on the front panel (which are also push-buttons) as seen in figure 2.2.
When pushing a button or turning an encoder, you will see a parameter moving on the display.
4.2 PERFORM environment
The PERFORM menu is the default menu you will see when first using the Torpedo C.A.B. M+. The
following information will be displayed on the screen:
1. Preset number
2. Preset name

3. Virtual Cabinet (VC), IR Loader (I) mode indicator
4. Bargraphs for input and output levels
5. Output level (from Mute to +12dB)
In this menu, you can navigate in the presets and set the output volume of the unit. You will be in this
menu when playing without editing or modifying any parameter. This way you can have fast access to
the volume in case you have to quickly lower or increase the volume in any situation.
We recommend first to search for a preset close to the sound you have in mind, then tweak the
selected.
The preset name is limited to 32 letters or numbers. The authorized
characters are capital A to Z, 0 to 9 and space.
4.3 MENU environment
The MENU environment gives you access to the parameters of a preset, allowing you to modify it, or
create your own tone from scratch.
To enter the MENU environment from the PERFORM environment, press either the left (MENU) or the
right (ENTER) button. This will display the top layer of the MENU environment, which lists various
sections you can edit. By entering any section, you'll go down one layer, accessing the parameters of
the preset (or device).
In the MENU environment, the encoders have the following behavior:
turning the left (PARAM) encoder selects the section or parameter you want to edit
turning the right (VALUE) encoder changes the value of the selected section or parameter
pressing on the left (MENU) encoder makes you go back one level in the menu until you come
back to PERFORM environment
pressing on the right (ENTER) encoder makes you go into the selected section or toggle the
selected parameter
All start with the first section, which allows you to choose which mode you will be working in Virtual
Cabinet or IR Loader.

To enter any section and edit the related parameters, scroll to the relevant section by turning the
PARAM encoder and press ENTER to enter. Some sections can be modified directly without entering it,
by turning the VALUE encoder. For most of them, this means turning it ON or OFF (the image will then
appear in negative mode).
There are 12 sections in the MENU environment:
1. Mode
2. Noise Gate
3. Preamp
4. Power Amp
5. Miking
6. EQ
7. Enhancer
8. Reverb
9. Preset Level
10. Save
11. Tuner
12. Global
4.3.1 Virtual Cabinet Mode
The Virtual Cabinet mode is dedicated to Two notes Virtual Cabinet. You will create your preset(s) and
edit every parameter available with one Virtual Cabinet.
A preset contains:

two microphones and their positions in the room
effects settings (Noise Gate, EQ, Enhancer, Reverb)
preset level
4.3.1.1 Noise Gate
The noise gate is useful if you are using a high gain
amp and want to keep your signal quiet when you are
not playing, or use vintage style single coil pickups. The
threshold sets the level where the noise gate is active:
if you are over this level the noise gate is off, if you are
under, the noise gate is active. The Learn button
automatically sets the Threshold level. Keep your guitar
volume to the maximum, mute your strings with your
hand and click on the Learn button. The Noise Gate will
listen to the input sound and set the threshold level
accordingly. Make sure to mute your strings for at least
3 seconds so the Learn can properly analyse the input
signal.
4.3.1.2 Preamp
The preamp turns the Torpedo C.A.B M+ into a clean
pedal platform amp when combined with the Power
Amp. Gain gives the preamp crystal clear tones to a
slight crunch towards the upper values of the knob The
Gain is impacted by the IN LEVEL switch of the pedal.
The preamp has a simple 3 band eq to quickly dial your
tone: Treble, Mids, and Bass.
4.3.1.3 Power Amp
The combination of the Power Amp and the Preamp
creates a clean amp in the Torpedo C.A.B. M+ .
Model: Choose the amplifier topology (Push Pull (PP) or Single Ended (SE)) and the tubes type (6L6,
EL34, EL84 or KT88).
Type: Select how the tube is used, either in triode or in pentode mode. Pentode mode has more
headroom and volume than triode.
Volume: Set up the output volume of your virtual power amplifier.
Depth: This setting affects the tube stage frequency (bandwidth).
Presence: This setting affects the tube stage frequency (loudness).
4.3.1.4 Miking
The MIKING section is where you will choose your virtual cabinet and the two microphones to do the
miking.

2020/06/26 14:07 19/35 Torpedo C.A.B. M+ User's Manual
User's manuals - https://wiki.two-notes.com/
You have access to 32 different cabinets and each cabinet can be miked with 2 of the 8 available
microphones for the given cabinet (Mic A and Mic B).
First you choose your cabinet.
Then the 2 microphones you will use.
The next window is where you set levels, mute, and
phase for each microphone. You can also bypass the
mic (B) and send the dry input signal to the output.
Note: all the microphones in all the Two notes Virtual Cabinets are already captured in phase with
each other, so the Phase parameter is not needed to correct the relative phase of the two
microphones. This parameter can rather be used to get a specific out-of-phase effect or correct the
phase between the C.A.B. M+ microphones and an external signal.
The following window shows you how the mics are
placed in regards to the cabinet. This part lets you do
the mic placement for each microphone with the
following sequence of parameters.
Axis: You will set the placement of the mic towards the cone of the cabinet's speaker. At 0% the
mic is placed at the center of the speaker, at 100% the mic is placed either at the edge of the
speaker (when the mic is at the grill cloth), or up to 1 meter (3 feet) away from the center
(when the mic is at the furthest distance of the cabinet).
Dist: You will set the distance of the mic towards the cabinet. At 0% the microphone is placed at
the grid cloth of the cabinet. At 100% the mic is placed at 3 meters (10 feet) from the cabinet.
Side: You will place the mic at the Front or at the Back of the cabinet.
4.3.1.5 EQ
The EQ section has 3 modes of operations: guitar, bass
and custom. Guitar and Bass are 5 band eqs, with a
gain range of -20dB to +20dB. The Custom mode gives
you access to a 5 band semi parametric eq and a high
pass filter.
Guitar mode: 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 2000Hz, 6000Hz (centre frequency of each band from the lower
to the highest).
Bass mode: 50Hz, 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 4000Hz (centre frequency of each band, from the lowest to
the highest)
Custom mode: the bands are as follow:
Low Cut: low cut, 10 - 500Hz (12 dB per octave slope)
Low: low shelf, 60 - 240 Hz, +/-20dB

HMid: peak, 1 - 4 kHz, +/-20dB
High: peak, 3 - 12kHz, +/-20dB
4.3.1.6 Enhancer
The Enhancer is a combination of dynamic and tone-
shaping tools especially tailored for your guitar and/or
bass.
The Dry/Wet allows you to balance the cab sim signal and the processed signal by the Enhancer. At
zero (knob turned all the way down), only the cab sim signal is heard. At halfway position, the level of
the cab sim signal is equal to the level of the enhancer. At full (knob turned all the way up), you are
only hearing the signal processed by the Enhancer.
Body is a compressor with a high-pass filter (set at 100hz in Guitar mode and 150hz in Bass mode). It
only affects the low-mids and above frequencies of the signal. Body will render your tone fuller and
more present. Thickness and Brilliance emphasize the low end and high end of the tone, respectively.
Thickness is centered at 400 Hz in Guitar mode and 150 Hz in bass mode.
Brilliance is centered at 1500hz in Guitar mode and 2000hz in bass mode. Both Thickness and
Brilliance have a gain range between 0 and +15dB.
4.3.1.7 Reverb
To enhance your experience with the Torpedo C.A.B. M+, especially when playing with headphones,
your unit features different reverbs.
To enhance your experience with the Torpedo C.A.B.
M+, especially when playing with headphones, your
unit features different reverbs. There are 12 room
reverbs and one full ‘custom’ reverb in the Torpedo
C.A.B. M+.
When using the Reverb, you have access to the following parameters:
Dry/wet: adjusts the level of the incoming signal and the reverb. With the know at halfway,
both levels are equal.
Preset: selects the reverb acoustic environment. There are 12 places and one custom reverb.
Type: selects acoustic characteristics of the reverb (Room: plenty of early reflections with a
bright sound. Ambience: subtle early reflections and a bass-heavy response.)
Size: adjusts the size of the room. From tiny to gigantic.
Echo: adjusts the level of the reflections.
Color: adjusts the tone of the reverb from darker to bright.
