Any clips to sway us otherwise, Brett?

So did I change your mind a little concerning the Torpedo sound or not at all?

 

[JeffTD]

I haven't had time to check! Just bookmarked and will listen after class.

Does it take much postprocessing to get it sounding good on your end?

 

[JeffTD]

Khynn sounds pretty damn good! A bit dry but that could've just been the amp/settings/pickup.

Pulse is a bit thin/static-y but that's what the genre asks for to be fair.


Overall pretty impressed, not as annoyed with the unit as before! Still think it's GROSSLY overpriced, though.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

It sounds almost exactly like a microphone in front of the amp (you can even use your own microphone and capture the impulse). So it doesn't require more post processing than the real thing. It is quite expensive but it is a high end unit, and the same could be said about a lot of gear, plus this one is not made in China, and it's so fucking useful... You don't even need a cab anymore, since it acts as a load box. Dude, even Michael Wagener is using one nowadays.

 

[FIXXXER]

is there a cheaper hardware version that does not have the loadbox built in!?
anxious to try this out with my axe-fx.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

I am really critical of simulation boxes, but this one finds my complete approval, I use it all the time.

In case people don't know Michael Wagener, one of the pope of metal recording, just Google him and learn your lesson

Also, I know that Richard Z. Kruspe (RAMMSTEIN) has a unit and loves it, and that RUSH nearly used on for the bass on their latest tour (but finally decided they didn't want to change what they've been doing for years at the last minute).

I don't think so. But if you have the Axe-Fx then the plugin would be doing what you need at a much cheaper cost I believe.

Ok I'll stop posting here or people will think I get paid by this company, LOL

 

[FIXXXER]

i don't want to use software in this case, need a
hardware that allows me to record the cab signal directly.

i'll write a mail to these guys.

cheers
S.

 

[JeffTD]

Yeah, don't get me wrong - it looks awesome and would be a total lifesaver for me, but for that price I think I'd rather get an AxeFX or wait for the DAR loadbox + impulse loader.

Made absolutely no difference, still shits itself until set to higher latency settings like 512ms.

 

[006]

Yeah dude try using it as a post-recording insert and with higher buffer, not as something to use in real-time to monitor with...

 

[superfreak]

I could do that but I don't think it's worth the trouble. I'm sticking to LeCab and the dozens of wonderful free impulses

 

[006]

Cool story.

 

[~BURNY~]

Trying Pi-Torpedo free atm. Sounds rather impressive so far.
Edit:
mmm... I don't know...

 

[FF666]

I'll help you man.
Torpedo PI-Free sounds like shit.
The same shit than the rest of the impulshits: the free ones, recabinet 3, recabinet 5, amplitube 3, amplitube 17, ownhammer, redwirez, guitar rig 4, guitar rig 500, etc., etc...

 

[StefTD]

dude, if you hate it, than just say it in a nicer way or just shut up, you don't like impulses
and ampsims, yeah we know it, don't have to post it everytime...

Not able to try it atm, not sure what to think about it, the real Torpedo is overpriced imho.

I'm not the most pro-impulse guy around here (just ordered my third 4x12) but you're just being narrow minded here dude.
