How Should I Configure my Torpedo C.A.B. in my Effect Chain?

How Should I Configure my Torpedo C.A.B. in my Effect Chain?

We recommend placing Overdrive, Distortion and Wah effects before the preamplifier, and any Delay, Chorus, Reverb and modulation effects after the Torpedo C.A.B.

This format is commonly actioned in a studio and by following this studio-centric methodology, all the stereo effects will be preserved for a stellar DI tone!
