Two Notes Torpedo C.A.B. M+

That video above of the ADA MP1 with the Torpedo sounds more realistic than anything Ive heard from Neural.
Im kinda thinking that while modeling is amazing, using Amp sims/IRs with real tube preamps has really arrived. I mean it plays feels sounds exactly like a real amp in a recording studio.
Having owned a couple MP1s in the past, I haven't yet heard a Fractal emulation that sounds as real as the real MP1 + Torpedo.

Yes, but I don't exactly remember how many max - I have some in the 90 count (preset 90, 91, 92 etc).
Also, there's a finite amount of memory - you can have 32 of the official Two Notes DyniR max.
It has a small microSD card (256MB) - I upped that to 32GB, but that's only for storing your iRs, not your patches... i.e. you're making a new patch at a gig, you can pull from your own library on the microSD.
You can MIDI switch on the older CAB (rectangular model), which is no longer made.

It has a balanced XLR out. Use that if you can.

Yeah, that was the plan.
But I can switch on the Clarett 2Pre the impedance at the input to accomodate instrument level or line level signals, so the question was aimed at that.

Yeah, that was the plan.
The 1/4" out is line level so set it to that if you use it.
I have the Torpedo Captor X!!! I love it... So much that I want to get the Cab-M+. I would have already if I hadn't already spent a small fortune on other pedals and stuff. I bought the Captor X because I couldn't test the amps I build at full volume where I live without having the neighborhood amass in front of my door. It was so good that I almost use it exclusively now.
The reason I want the CAB-M is because I want as portable a setup as I can for live playing and figured if the CAB-M tracked as well as the Captor X, it would make an amazing tool to reference against. More or less it allows me to expand into pedal design and I can see how they perform with a real amp, the CAB-M, and in conjunction with the Captor X.
If the CAB-M is anything close to the Captor X in terms of sounds quality, GET IT!!!

In a band that asks me and the other guitarist to DI to FOH, so I use it as a clean pedal platform for my pedalboard and use it as a clean amp and speaker and mic sim to FOH. Sounds great using my Friedman BEOD deluxe and Dirty Shirley pedal using the CAB M as a clean amp with a Marshall 4x12’s with Greenbacks and a couple of mics simulated. Gives me a real stadium rock tone through the PA and helps at small shows where space is a premium. Sounds better and more consistent through the PA than most miced cabs, as most places don’t mic things well. Do I prefer my Marshall half stack? yes. What to I use for small gigs based on space and convenience and great tone? The Cab M.

Thanks for this discussion. I recently added a Synergy SYN-2 to my amp options, and haven’t been terribly thrilled with the cab-emulated output from it. So, I pulled out the Torpedo Live I’ve on the shelf (the load box got glitchy, and I replaced it with an UA OX, but that’s a different story). I like the way the Torpedo sounds with the power amp sim and eq options with Synergy stuff, and have been on the fence of upgrading to the cab m+ for the additional processing power and newer features. It looks like it may be time to order one from Sweetwater once I get the SYN-2 paid off.

I just did a spotlight on Two Notes with their head of marketing. If anyone wants a bit more information on their products feel free to give it a read.

Good thing you did, I completely forgot about the Wall of Sound that came bundled with the unit!

I never used the Torpedo Cab M+, but I have an Atomic Firebox and it's perfect for live to FOH or for recording.
If you already have a preamp you can use a poweramp model, if not you can use an amp model. XLR (with IR) to your audio interface/mixer. I prefer it to plugins.
