Hi everybody! Today I want to clone my cabinet.
You heard correctly — I want to clone my cabinet.
So you will ask — why?...
Don't deny, I know you want to know why — Warum?
Well, simply because once I have cloned my setup...
I'll be able to use it in the Torpedo Wall of Sound...
or the Torpedo VB-101...
or the Torpedo C.A.B., or Live.
Here what I want is to have it in the VB-101 and Wall of Sound...
to be able to re-work my recordings with my cab's tone if I don't have it with me.
Having it in the VB-101 allows me to go out and play with my Morgan head amp only...
and the VB-101, so I don't need to carry my huge cabinet.
Now your second questions is... how?
Mais comment est-ce qu'on fait donc ça ?
Simple, really: we'll be using the Torpedo BlendIR software...
which will send out a very specific signal.
It's quite lovely, listen to this...
Don't you love it? The dog went like this...
and the neighbor had a seizure...
Point is, this signal goes from the sound card...
then into a power amplifier.
This is really important.
Ideally the most neutral one possible.
I chose a Mesa 20/20.
From there, it goes back to the speaker cabinet...
(here my Morgan 2x12)...
it gets picked up by a Shure SM57 microphone...
which itself re-sends the signal into the sound card...
and into the software, thus completing the circle...
in order to create an "Impulse Response" file.
Listen here to the actual cab's signal picked up by the mic.
And now its digital clone which I have put into the Wall of Sound plug-in.
Striking resemblance, don't you think?
So striking that you must think that I have tampered with this, eh?
Well, no, all of this is actually true.
Anyway, as you know, I am not stingy with (good) music...
I thought I'd let you hear this comparison...
with a tune that's a little funky, a little 70s...
with the rug and bell-bottoms.
