For ease of use, you can set each and every parameter within OPUS’ DSP architecture with your computer or your mobile device via the Torpedo Remote application. Download Torpedo Remote for your specific device from www.two-notes.com/torpedo-remote
First, connect OPUS to your computer with the provided USB cable.
Through Torpedo Remote, you will be able to:
The main window of Torpedo Remote provides access to all of OPUS' tone shaping tools, as well as preamp, poweramp, cabinet and mic choice. This is also where you will manage the internal memory of the unit via the tabs located at the top of the window.
Through a USB connection to the desktop variant of Torpedo Remote, all tools are provided to load and manage OPUS’ DynIR™s, 3rd Party IRs and Presets using the menu tabs entitled CABINET MANAGER, IR MANAGER, and PRESET MANAGER respectively.
In each tab, the left panel shows the files available on your computer; the right tab shows the files loaded into the internal memory of OPUS.
Before attempting to pair OPUS with your Mobile Device or Tablet, please ensure you have installed the Torpedo Wireless Remote application accessible www.two-notes.com/here.
One installed, pair your device with OPUS using the following procedure:
When using either the Desktop or Mobile/Tablet variants of Torpedo Remote, there are some distinct differences to bear in mind which may impact your use of OPUS:

Within OPUS, the following signal chain is enacted via the on-board DSP processing
Input ⇒ Preamp ⇒ Noise Gate ⇒ Power Amp ⇒ Cabinet Miking ⇒ EQ ⇒ Enhancer ⇒ Reverb
Top Tip: OPUS’ Noise Gate is listed first in Torpedo Remote and in the pedal’s menu but in-fact takes place after the preamp, as is common practice for 4-Cable-Method noise gate units.
OPUS’ TSM™ (Tube Stage Modelling) Emulation furnishes you with a suite of pro-grade Preamps and fully-customisable Power Amps. Within the TSM™ Amplifier pane of the Torpedo Remote window you will find:
Within the TSM™ Preamp pane, the following Preamps are available to shape your tone:
Navigate through the preamp models by clicking on the arrows located on each side of the name of the preamp. To further refine your preamp tone, the following controls are provided:
Top Tip: The tone stacks and gain curve within each TSM™ Preamp are unique to the selected preamp; as such experimentation with these controls is paramount to achieving the desired preamp tone.
The TSM™ Poweramp pane provides all options to choose and configure a power-amplifier topology (Push Pull (PP) or Single Ended (SE)) and the tubes type (6L6, EL34, EL84 or KT88) by simply clicking on the tube image.
One a topology has been selected, the following controls are provided to further refine your Poweramp tone:
All Two notes Virtual Cabinets come with an individual collection of 8 microphones specifically matched to the cabinet. You access the list of microphones by clicking the blue window above the mic channel fader. For easy identification, microphones are described by their underlying technology: DYN is a dynamic microphone, CND is a condenser microphone and RBN is a ribbon mic.
Within each Mic Channel, the following controls are available to refine your mic’ed cabinet’s tone:
After defining your foundation tone via the TSM™ AMPLIFIER and DynIR™ Engine panes, OPUS provides you with a suite of Post FX to further refine your OPUS preset. The following Post FX components are available:
OPUS’ EQ features 3 modes of operation: GUITAR, BASS and CUSTOM. The GUITAR and BASS modes provide 5-band EQs with a gain range of -20dB to +20dB. The CUSTOM mode is a fully-customisable 5-band semi-parametric EQ complete with high-pass and low-pass filters.
Guitar mode: 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 2000Hz, 6000Hz (centre frequency of each band from the lower to the highest).
Bass mode: 50Hz, 120Hz, 360Hz, 800Hz, 4000Hz (centre frequency of each band, from the lowest to the highest)
Custom mode: The bands are structured as follows:
OPUS’ ENHANCER provides you with a combination of dynamic and tone-shaping tools specifically tailored for your guitar and/or bass.
There are 12 room reverbs and one full ‘CUSTOM’ reverb in OPUS.
When using the Reverb, you have access to the following parameters:
There is also a dedicated switch to change the acoustic characteristics of the REVERB module on-the-fly:
An OPUS preset can contain the following components:
To create a foundation tone for your preset, first select a preamp, a poweramp and a cabinet. OPUS comes with a collection of 32 DynIR™ Virtual Cabinets preloaded into the internal memory. OPUS has a total of 64 slots in its internal memory for DynIR cabinets. Click on the blue screen or the drop-down arrow to access the list of cabinets preloaded within OPUS. Using Torpedo remote’s filtering options, you can:
OPUS can load up to 512 static IRs. Import of static IRs is actioned via the desktop variant of Torpedo Remote through the IR MANAGER tab. Upon upload into OPUS, the IR’s length can be set to 20-, 40-, 100- or 200-ms long. If the IR is longer than the specified value, it will be shortened by Torpedo remote to the selected length; if it is shorter it will be extended (filled with zeros) to the selected length. OPUS’ internal memory has the following allowances in relation to the length of the IR(s) imported into its DSP architecture:
In order to load a static IR, first select the IR LOADER mode in Torpedo Remote. The window will have a similar layout to the VIRTUAL CABINET. You can load up to 2 static IR files simultaneously providing they are both loaded within the internal memory of OPUS (one IR per channel). On each channel, the following controls are available: Mute (M), Bypass (B), Phase (ø) and IR Volume (actioned via the Channel Fader). You can further refine your Static IR tone with OPUS’ suite of built-in Post FX including the EQ, ENHANCER and REVERB.
To import or remove 3rd-party IRs in OPUS, registration of OPUS to your Two notes account via Torpedo Remote is required. You cannot import or remove 3rd-party IRs when using Torpedo Remote in Guest mode. To load a file into OPUS’ internal memory, please use the IR MANAGER window.
The left panel indicates files stored on your computer; here you can browse the folders where you have stored your Static IRs. The right panel indicates the IR files that are loaded onto the internal memory of OPUS. You can drag and drop Static IRs from the computer (left) to OPUS (right) to add them to OPUS’ internal memory. If you wish to free-up memory slots in OPUS, drag and drop the Static IR files you wish to remove into the bin located at the bottom of the IR MANAGER window; please note, this does not delete the Static IR from your collection, only from the internal memory of OPUS.
Before transferring your Static IRs to OPUS, the Torpedo IR Format pane provides options to configure the Static IRs:
It is possible to use Static IR files stored on your computer's hard drive directly. When doing so, you will enter Preview mode. In this mode, you will only be able to use one IR at a time, in IR slot A. You will be able to save the preset on your computer using this IR, but not to the internal memory of OPUS. To have access to the full Torpedo processing when using IRs, import the files first directly onto the internal memory of OPUS.
The preset rack at the top of OPUS' Torpedo Remote user interface lets you save and load presets.
Once the preset is saved, use the PRESET MANAGER tab to manage your presets in Torpedo Remote.
The Left panel indicates the preset folders on your computer. The right panel shows the presets stored on OPUS.
Move the presets up and down to change their order in OPUS. Remove presets by dragging and dropping them in the bin below. Drag and drop presets from the left panel (your computer) to the right panel (internal memory of the OPUS) to transfer presets from your computer to the OPUS hardware.
OPUS can be used in tandem with your electro-acoustic guitar for an enhanced DI live feed, and expanded possibilities when using OPUS in a recording scenario.
Connect your acoustic guitar’s output to OPUS’s input, and set the IN LEVEL to INST/+12dB. For optimal use, we suggest bypassing both the TSM™ Pre- and Power-amp processing within your preset.
To load a static Impulse response (be it an Acoustic Impulse response or one captured from a traditional guitar cabinet) simply navigate to the IR loader tab in Torpedo Remote and select up to two files to load onto either of the IR Slots (IR A and IR B). You can then use the IR A and IR B channel controls to refine the blend of your IRs within the context of your OPUS preset.
In some instances you may want to blend an IR affected signal with the natural sound of your DI’d acoustic guitar. In order to action this, simply Bypass (the “B” switch situated within the IR A or IR B mixer pane) to route your dry signal through the IR Loader processing block. By using the channel faders on either IR A or IR B, a mix of your dry and wet signal can be achieved. Please note, this bypass processing simply removes any IR processing on your source signal; any processing outside of the IR processing blocks will still be applied to your dry signal including TSM™ Pre- and Power-amp emulation and OPUS’ suite of Post FX.
Top Tip: In order to fuse a full OPUS-processed signal chain with an unaffected dry signal, we recommend using the LINE OUT ROUTING facilities to send Dry and Wet Signals separately to a suitable source (i.e. a mixer or Audio interface) where a resultant Dry/Wet mix can be processed.
The Following Acoustic IRs are pre-loaded onto OPUS right-out-the-box
Within OPUS’ Acoustic Impulse Response library, each IR is available in 2 versions; a standard version and one denoted by the letter “m”, indicating a “matched” variant (example Seoul 710.wav and Seoul 710 m.wav).
The “m” versions have been passed through a post-processing algorithm in order to generate a more balanced tone. In contrast, you may find that the non-Match files are a little bass-heavy and as such we advise using OPUS’ EQ to balance and enhance your tone. In addition, we also advise trialing with a blend of your raw DI tone and the non-Matched Acoustic IRs for best results.
In the SETUP window, access core information and the global setting preferences for OPUS. These settings are global and will impact all presets; as such they are not specific to one preset or saved per preset.
The SETUP manager shows the serial number of the pedal, the pin code (TORPEDO WIRELESS REMOTE PIN CODE) used to pair OPUS with your mobile device and the firmware version installed on the device.
The INPUT PAD is set to Off by default. It is engineered to reduce the input level of the source audio before reaching OPUS’ audio DSP. The INPUT PAD is a technical corrective tool and not a creative tool, attenuating the signal by 10dB.
Before instantiating the INPUT PAD, it is important to first set the 3-way IN LEVEL switch to match the nature of the input source:
If after setting the 3-way IN LEVEL switch - correctly in accordance with your signal requirements - OPUS displays a clipping signal , please then use the INPUT PAD to further attenuate your source signal.
OPUS’ LINE OUT ROUTING is accessible through the MENU directly via the pedal's screen:
Please be advised, you can also set the LINE OUTPUT ROUTING via the SETUP menu in Torpedo Remote, accessible from the main window via the EDIT menu. The different options are listed in the drop down menu next to LINE OUT ROUTING.
Top Tip: In addition, it is important to note that the LINE OUT level is directly affected by the PRESET and VOLUME levels regardless of any DSP-centric processing that is applied.
Within this menu item, the indicated latency is the summative latency of the whole device, measured from the input to the output. Even at the highest setting, the latency is low enough not to be noticed when playing. However, latency is cumulative and can add up when using several digital products; as a result, this can lead to a point where it becomes noticeable. In that case, lowering this setting can prove useful. The following settings - and resulting impact on IR Length - are available in OPUS:
OPUS has been specified to accept both preset change commands (Program Change or PC) and parameter change commands (Control Change or CC), providing immediate access to interact with all parameters on the unit from a compatible MIDI controller - like a MIDI pedalboard. Within the SETUP MANAGER window, you are able to configure the following:
For further information, See the MIDI Chart section for a comprehensive breakdown of all possible Command Change MIDI messages.
It is possible to set the scale of Bluetooth emission from OPUS in accordance with the following options:
This setting determines the brightness of OPUS’ OLED Display.
Within this preference, you can choose either an animation, a dim of the display, or the screen entering sleep mode (turns off) after a pre-designated delay period from 1 to 60 seconds.
OPUS features an OLED Display and dual rotary encoders for complete standalone operation.
1. Preset number
2. Preset name
3. Bargraphs for input and output levels
4. Output level
By default, the PERFORM window of OPUS shows:
When a preset is edited, a star appears on screen next to the aforementioned bar graphs; upon saving the edited preset to the same (or a new) preset location, this star will disappear to indicate the preset has been overwritten.
The MENU environment gives you access to all the editable parameters of a preset, allowing you to modify it, or create your own tone from scratch. To enter the MENU environment from the PERFORM environment, press either the left (MENU) or the right (ENTER) button. This will display the “top layer” of the MENU environment, which lists various DSP-processing blocks that can be edited. By entering any section, you'll go down one layer, accessing the parameters of the preset (or device). In the MENU environment, the encoders have the following behavior:
To enter any section and edit the related parameters, scroll to the relevant section by turning the PARAM encoder and press ENTER to enter. Some sections can be modified directly without entering it, by turning the VALUE encoder. For most DSP-processing blocks, this means turning it ON or OFF (the image will then appear in negative mode). There are 12 sections in the MENU environment: (each section is the same as in Torpedo Remote, sharing mirrored controls).
1. Mode: Choose if you wish to work with DynIR™ cabinets via the DynIR™ Engine mode or with 3rd-party IRs in the IR Loader mode.
2. Noise Gate: Activate and set the noise gate
3. Preamp: Choose between one of the 12 TSM™ preamps and configure your tone with the dedicated preamp controls
4. Power Amp: Choose the type and configuration of the power amp tubes
5. Miking: Choose the cabinet simulation, microphone positioning and microphone mixer parameters within the DynIR™ Engine
6. EQ: Shape your tone via one of the 3 EQ modes (Guitar, Bass or Custom)
7. Enhancer: Apply a combination of dynamic and tone-shaping tools specifically tailored for your guitar or bass
8. Reverb: Choose between the 12 acoustic environments and fine tune your reverb using the associated parameters
9. Preset Level: Define the level of your OPUS preset in accordance with all other Presets instantiated within the OPUS hardware
10. Save: Save your Preset to a dedicated internal memory slot within OPUS
11. Tuner: Tune your instrument with OPUS’ built-in Tuner. Note: You can also access the Tuner by actioning a long press of the right encoder knob
