nigeldaddyo Do you dig it?

Justin Bryant yes, it's a total keeper. i had the mesa cab clone which got the job done live, but when i tried it into my protools system it was immediately apparent that i could never use it for recording. it simply didn't sound good in this application. the two notes however is outstanding. i really can't say enough about the thing. it's not cheap but for what you're getting, it IS cheap. highly recommended.

Isaac Lum Thanks Isaac! You'll love it!

How is it working out for you ?

Thanks always love my TAF profiles!! ( I need more)

Well send me a email and we can sort something out : ) (will explain)

Thanks- at the time almost everything was Metal.

Simple, easy and sounds awesome!

Joël Lafon Thanks Joel!

darklabelstudio Yes, There is no physical cabinet used in this video- it has a fantastic reactive load box built in. You can also do both at the same time! Most people use it without a cabinet for recording etc.

+Lassi Kaljonen Great question- this is sticky;- so I'll do my best. The answer is no- it's still a 4 ohm tap on the amplifier. There's a lot of speculation and voodoo regarding impedance mismatching. Impedance is variable to a certain extent on guitar amplifiers and cabinets. 4 Ohms may be 3.47 etc. Now, is 4 into 8 a mismatch- yes. Does it sonically change things a a bit? Maybe a little. Does it put unneeded strain on the OT? Not that much. I've never blown an OT and frankly anytime I've heard of them blowing it's from no load or just physics and time. Here's a fantastic read from H&K regarding what works and why- and what does not.. I think you'll really enjoy it and it will clear up some misconceptions! ( but yes this is perfectly fine!) blog.hughes-and-kettner.com/ohm-cooking-101-understanding-amps-speakers-and-impedance/

I don't know- I can tell you that John Suhr was impressed with these via Pete Thorn. The Suhr is most likely fantastic just for the load only portion. If you just need to get to line level maybe the better option. If you need both in one box- well there's the answer.

John's a stud on this stuff. LOVE his SL amps. I'm tempted to pick up his SRL and a Torpedo CAB to run behind my amps, but most of the demos I've found of that rig don't showcase the huge, full sound of either a great Fender or Marshall cranked just under breakup level. Not that I would use that big of a tone to record, but it would be nice to know the setup can do it if for no other reason than for playing at home (quietly).

Btw, the main reason I would care (unless there is a significant difference in quality) is because the SRL/T.CAB is pedal board friendly vs. requiring me to deal with a rack mount.

You can't go wrong with the Suhr and the CAB.

Hey Paul! The million dollar question. With so many many modeling options out there- it's personal choice. However, if you have some really good 'preamp' style pedals: Wampler, Rockett, Friedman or Bogner the Two Notes can would be something to consider. I have probably used about every combination you can think of and it's really personal choice and convenience. You'll ultimately sound like you, but it's a long and rewarding ride!

+Steve Richter the SLO 100 is amazing! I haven't tried it with a Twin though.

Kelster Von Shredster There is Fender Strat at the beginning of the video (first 30 seconds). That's a real '71' Vibrolux pulled out of the 2x10 and head mounted. Thanks for watching!

oh cool thanks! Great video!

Mark Marshall Thanks Mark- you're hearing the direct signal only! No EQ!

Thanks Justin! Does this mean direct to your interface and then DAW? How would you use this live, or do you not use it that way?

Mark Marshall same for both! Just plug it in!

What interface are you using? For the video, I plugged directly into a a Pro-Tools HD Rig at the studio I was in. I use the Apogee Duet 2 in my home studio- equal/ better results. I just use it for the line inputs ( no mic pre's).

Justin Bryant Basically I was using an Esi waveterminal 192m (11years old!!) which I knew i'd have to upgrade using the torpedo live. So I ordered a Roland Quad Capture I was unsatisfied but It permitted to me to see where my problem was (the difference between the input signal (which I totally digged) and the sound that was going into my computer thanx to the knob that goes from "playback" to "Input" which is very useful on this unit btw). So I sent back the quad capture last week after a few recording tests and I'm now looking for a more "transparent" or "faithful" audio interface, I work on a Pc.

Have you looked at M-Audio or Presonus etc?

Justin Bryant In fact I was so disapointed with the roland that i am now looking at the Rme babyface.200$ audio interfaces kind of scare me now...i need a huge difference.

RME's are great too!

+GmanMusicProductions John Suhr was a big fan of this unit when Pete Thorn was putting his road rig together several years back,and why he built his own version. I hear it's great piece but myself haven't checked one out. I know it's just a load box as this is an all-in-one!

+Justin Bryant Right now, I'm steering towards the Suhr because I can use my DAW for the cab sims and save a little cash too. Although the all-in-one feature is nice. I've been hearing from other Torpedo users that the SUHR unit has a slightly better feel and more open tone. I know I'll be at least getting the Two Notes CAB. Thanks again for the reply!

Sounds like you can't go wrong! Please let me know what you think of it!

+Justin Bryant Will do!! Keep posting them videos, I enjoying your playing!

Thanks Gman- I probably need to do another!

You can connect via the direct outs- I don't use SPDIF at all.

Either is a fantastic choice - the Live is about 50% less in price

yes! Straight into the line input, bypassing the load section. I'm not sure why the Live doesn't have the level switch- but not sure that it's needed either.

+Justin Bryant thanks man. I think I'm gonna go for the torpedo live. that way I can use my pedalboard or my rather large amps for recording seeing as they don't get much use anymore as the trend for gigs these days is travel light and lower wattage on stage. At least my great sounding amps will get used for something. Thanks again for replying and great demo by the way. I will now return the favour by subscribing to your channel. :-)

MrDavemiley hmm... shouldn't be any sizzling- have you contacted tech support?

YES both times i tried one of these out. I was sooooo wanting this thing to work. I was using good cables, tried it recording into Logic and into PA board , used two different ones from two retailers, returned them both . Got very little help from retailers or two notes.

Of course you can! However the 'visual' aspect of moving mics and cabs is awesome. You can easily use the scroll and encoder knobs if you don't want to use the GUI.

The mac was for the editing software. The Live was plugged directly into the DAW

Justin Bryant Thanks so much ! You guys rule ! I'm quite inept yet on what signal paths concerns .

colaboytje in the intro video the 2nd guitar is an original 60’s Strat- I’ve had for 20+ years...

Michael- A) this was my first video. B) the control room was huge and the audio needed to be brought up from the camera mic ( compression). However, on this clip there shouldn't be any string noise, as the clips are DI"d and ducked out of the camera mic. Thanks for watching though and the feedback.

Justin Bryant It's ok, as I said, no offense, we all make mistakes and learn from them. Maybe not string noise, but I can clearly hear the strings AND, more importantly, the camera setting the level up and down/compressing. But it's all good. I'd more interested to hear if you are still using this device?
