Hi All, I recently got one of these units and I'm very much enjoying the results, however three things strike me as odd

I'm noticing very very high amounts of top end when using the sm57 with cabs that arent necessarily notorious for that, and ordinarily would use a pass filter to eliminiate them, however the 6k eq option in the torpedo feel liek its rolling off a lot of the upper mid also - I can certainly get a good sound with it - but I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this? The u87 produces tons also.

Second thing is when using it for bass i like to switch on poweramp emulation - but arent noticing the depth and presence knobs doing what I would expect - whats the general concensus on those two settings?

third thing is that moving the mix knob on torpedo remote seems to enable the compressor even if its switched off, - this is easy to fix - but i cant help but think its a bit odd.

Also are there any plans to expand on the units load compensation? for example to change type of speaker interaction it accounts for - as for me Id equate it to a gigantic mid and top boost right now, whilst its not necessarily real world, it might be useful to ease it off slightly from time to time.

most the sonic questions are primarily aimed at the sound from very high gain stuff - I'm usually running around -10 on the 6k eq to get a nice smooth sound for several mics.



thanks very much, and well done on a great product!
