7. Cabinets in A Box a ver sion 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 to 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 cannot 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 do not want to perform using digital modeling systems which may compromise their playing style and sound For them the TORPEDO C A B offers a virtual alternative to traditional miking using a technology derived from the convolution reverberation to achieve a degree of realism never experienced with a simulator previously The TORPEDO C A B is the perfect line output everybody should have at the final stage of their pedalboard to send the sound directly to a PA or a recorder You can use the TORPEDO C A B on stage or in the studio after your favorite distortion pedal or a rack preamplifier or even after an amplifier modeling unit with the speaker simulation turned off
