DynIR
Two Notes changed the DI game with its Torpedo range of direct boxes. Its DynIR takes the static ‘snapshot’ nature of an impulse response by making them, well… dynamic. This gives much greater control over tailoring the IR’s response to the rest of your rig with microphone, acoustic environment and additional studiostyle processing.
I thought the lunchbox thing had been done?
Then you thought wrong! This isn’t just another cute little valve amp (although it is that, too). The Laney LA-Studio forms part of the brand’s Supergroup line-up, which, as you may or may not know, aims to capture the Brit amp brand’s classic tonality but with features designed to make it applicable to the demands of guitar players today. In the case of the LA-Studio, that means low wattage, multiple voicings, MIDI control and, perhaps most intriguingly, a full Two Notes Torpedo module for going direct.
