the 2 57s out of phase sounded ENORMOUS. i'm looking forward the coming video about that micing tecnique, as you said. THANK YOU SO MUCH GLENN, YOU ROCK

hey man i love all your demos and your recording sound great! im an engineer myself and all your pointers are fantastic and on point. i really appreciate you taking time to make these.

Amazing quality and videos. Keep up the good work, Glenn!

Glenn, i followed your posts in ultimatemetal forum since quite a while, thanks a lot for everything, you really helped me out for a lot of things! in so glad you started a youtube channel yeah rock on!

Amazing info as always! Your knowledge of sound production blows my mind every-time! Look forward to your next video dude! \m/

One of the best, most informative reviews on KZfaq. Keep it up this is up it's fucking brilliant!

Great review Glenn! love your honest reviews man, its stuff like this that actually helps artists like me make a legitimate decision when it comes to purchases. Thanks man

Just came home from work, had a shitty day, open up the sub box and SSS uploaded a new video. I love you Glenn.

Watched because it was suggested. Never thought I'd think of adding it to the to-get list. Thanks for the video!

bought my torpedo live based on this review and I' really happy with that. your fearless gear review is awesome man :)

WHOA!!! That Cali C part riff was AWESOOOME!!!

Much better then the other reviews I've seen of this! Thanks for the video :)

>Having a Sunn amp "just laying around"

Really good review and I agree with your assessment completely. Nice to see guys that know what they are doing out here doing informative reviews like you do.

Those riffs man! Great tone and video as always. Thanks Glen

Great,honest and a professional review. Thank you and keep 'em coming!

Great review man. Thanks for all the videos.

mixes sound awesome man! great review as well!

I know what my son-in-law is getting for Xmas... Thanks, man. Your videos are always informative and entertaining. And your drummer was really good!

Picked one of these up this weekend based on this review. So far it may be the best piece of gear I've picked up in the last 15 years. Really impressed.

This video is almost a year old, but wow, was that some great info...Please, Glenn, keep up the GREAT work....Thank you.

I spent a lot of time on KZfaq, and i saw many many bass/guitar review, but this is probabily the best review ever in YT.

Quality review. Hope to see more in the future.

Great review! I picked up a Torpedo VB-101 in a trade not too long ago and have never been happier. I use it for recording, as well as live, with my 5150 iii. The tone is great once you dial in a good patch and it sounds massive running DI while also going through to a real cab. Keep the videos coming, they're both funny and informative.

I have one of these and I have to say this review is spot-on. Real amp + Torpedo = way better than any modeling unit

Excellent review again, Glenn. Nice to see the old Sunn making an appearance, too.

I really enjoy your playing Glenn! Looking forward to see you demoing more stuff

I really like your guitar playing Glenn! Catchy riffs! :D

My favorite drum metal sound is in this video. Amazing! I must to learn miking like you

Great review. Keep up the rocking awesome work!

As a torpedo Live user I've gotta say this is one of the best reviews I've seen. Thanks! Great Job!

Great rev. You have a real talent for this stuff man. Could you do a rev. on the Riverra rock crusher?

Very kool. I ordered me one can’t wait to put it to use

Love these videos man. :)

THIS is a truely honest gear review! Please, keep it on! Thank you!

"Hey, Beavis, he said load, uhuh, huhuhuh..." "Oh yeah, eheheheh, load... Hehehehe"

Over two years later and I still come back to hear that last riff. Glenn, you need to record more of your own stuff, we haven't heard it in forever now...

that's solid riffing there, Glenn!

Fabulous tone!

love the vids dude!

Killer Review dude, thanks!!!

Just bought one of these at GearFest. I have heard some solid praise for this unit. Can't wait to get into it. Thanks for the video. Great job btw! Fast moving. Informative. Entertaining. Great channel. This is what youtube should be all about. (y) (y)

Drums and bass sound particularly badass in these clips!

Nice fucking Deathnote shirt!!!!!

Sweet riffs, man

Great as always!

awesome video! those drum tones are killer!!

I love this channel !

Very informative video. Thanks SMG

Third soundclip sounds monstrously huge. Nice.

holy shit that last tone was amazing!

I have the pedal version. Doesnt have the load down function but it is still a great low/no volume recording/practicing tool. Takes some tweaking but its worth the results. Very cool product.

I love that bass tone🤤

Hey Glenn, love the vids! Any chance you could do an in-depth vid on the DAW you're using? Setups for tracking/mixing etc?

Sorry for the double post, but thank you for also going over the Fredman technique. The guitar tone on that album is my favorite to date.

Nice playing Glenn !

love that outro!

this is pretty sick... liking the riffs Glenn!... I have to say, in my head for some reason I was hearing some blastbeats would be so sick in like the next section of the cali C demo...I don't know why but I was totally air-drumming and thinking, Blast beat time! and then the demo ended xD

Just saw this video for the first time. Been considering saving up for one. Have to say, you always say your guitar playing's not great, but there's nothing wrong with your riffs, dude! Better than pretty much anything my local scene comes up with.

Very impressed... Being a non digital guy in a more and more digital world, this seems to be great tool to make everyone happy. Plus, 5150 and Beta Lead... Tones of the metal gods

Hi Glen, Great Video.

Love the shirt!

I would also like a studio tour! :) that would be sweet

I've been experimenting with the Wall of Sound plugin with a Weber loadbox and Engl 50 watt head and am amazed at the sound, blows away anything from a POD or stuff like Amplitube. Using a Les Paul with a pair of Iommi pickups and the Engl cabinet sim, the sound is so thick and oozy, perfect sound for some epic doom metal. The "Dust Devil" trick you do in a later video is totally cool, too, for building a big thick heavy guitar sound. Thinking of upgrading my rig to using the Torpedo Live so I'm not relying on a plugin for the DSP.

Thank you for all the information..

Picked one up and man... Awesome quality sound and great impulse responses. And I can even plug in my own (hello Rosen IR's). Also, the DRM loading licenses thingy seems to have disappeared. I guess they listened to you, Glenn :)

This was awesome. Any chance of other gear reviews? I would love to know how you use the Distressor in the studio.

I bought one after seeing this and have just bought another one. old tech still works : )

Nice sound... and tunes by the way!!!! Last song was grrrrreat!

Another great thing about load boxes/attenuators is that you can plug a valve amp into them, squash down the volume a bit but crank the master and get more of that singing valvey goodness, especially from vintage amps!

Recycled or not, I don't remember this riff sounding so awesome - listening it on my SRH840 monitor headphones is a godsend to my ears! You sir, can have my "like" and keep 'em coming!

Yes, I would like one of those Torpedos!!

Like your review style. Honest and entertaining. I love my Torpedo...wait that sounds...anyways it's a great product and it does solve a ton of issues. Thanks

There are various interesting products that work along these lines, I'm very interested in the Rivera Rock Crusher, works as an attenuator and a cab simulator. Looking forward to the cab sim vs real cab comparison video!

Hey Glenn, i really liked the video, thank you! There's just this small question: Will this work with a combo amp?

I get mine tomorrow !

This seems like a really nice product, simply because you can integrate your own gear into the signal chain rather than a DSP guitar processor. That being said, at $1000 a pop, it definitely has some stiff competition (Eleven Rack + Pro Tools Bundle @ $700), and even some of the higher-end modeling plug-ins like ReValver 4 and Positive Grid BIAS. It should be noted that users can buy the (inexpensive) Wall of Sound plug-in and run it independently of any Torpedo component. In today's modern recording age when everybody is doing everything to get a good guitar sound, I've personally utilized the WoS plug-in to spruce up some tracks recorded with a small amp, while blending that with the signal from the ADA GCS-3 cabinet emulator. That being said, I've learned that recording engineering is more about practice than theory. Miking a guitar cabinet through trial and error gives you the knowledge to know what the hell you're supposed to do when you actually do utilize modeling plug-ins/hardware.

Hey man, love the content! can you do any pickup reviews? And any amp reviews...also do u mind doing a studio setup or a runthrough on ur amps and guitars?

Nice review, you covered a lot of what I needed to help assess this for my home studio. I kept thinking though "yeah but live you'd have to deal with the inept sound guy" since I am a keyboard player and totally know that pain. Then at 9:09 I completely crack up - yup, that is the truth. A few sound guys know their shit, most don't.

Love the death mote shirt!

great shirt mister!

Hi Glen, love your videos. Great entertainment AND info. How is the latency on this, is it usable in a live setting. P.S. I'm not a metal head nor rocker but sometimes I need something for small gigs. Keep up the great work. Regards, Marius.

Can you make a video of how you record drums? I really love the way they sound!

More of these;) Good job!

Awesome ! I hope you will upload some videos dedicated for drummers soon !

"Look Ma, it's proffesional!"

I am waiting to see and review for palmer pga 04 vs torpedo live from you. Nice job Mr.

The phase adjusted method with 2 SM57s on two tracks sounds much more badass than the 4 track recording before. Wow.

Is it worth the price or is kind of overprized?

that beasty ass tone!!!

i live in an apartment, it's great to track with. i don't do much metal tones with it, but it still works great for clean, dirty and rock tones. i am pretty impressed with it.

Hey glen id love to learn how to mic drums if you haven't already had a video on it. Love your videos!

hope you'll do a review on the Torpedo Captor when than comes along.

I was interested in the micing a cab from behind is that open or closed back or does it really matter and what mic would you use, I tried it once with a 57 in front and 57 in the rear on a open back boogie , it definitely made the sound huge. Also have you tried the mesa cab clone , it doesn't sound anywhere is good as the 2 note.

Fuck that Torpedo sounds almost like the real deal. Very cool. :D

Fearless gear review on joyo or mooer pedals?? Want to see your opinion on cheaper chinese pedals

Sick Shirt!

How about Torpedo Reload? It comes with WOS 3 and it packs with some mighty powerful features. Saw that Fluff has both Live and Reload. What strikes me that nobody mentioned awesome feature of Reload, that you can setup 8 and 16 ohm cab combined, independent of power amp load.

aaahhhh, I just love the intro/outro. Anyways, I'm thinking about switching completely to digital. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced about selling my tube amps and my 4x12 cabinets and getting something like a Kemper profiler :( . Please help me out here and share your opinion! Should I sell my stuff and get a Kemper or something similar? I think the helix, kemper or even the positive grid is close enough to a tube amp. Cheers from Mexico!

Has anyone compared this to the Rivera Rock Crusher Recording Attenuator/Loadbox? I want to record with my Engl Powerball II in my apartment and that amp is stupidly loud not to mention not having the proper room for micing the cab.
