Hi,
first of all I want to say sorry for the following baaaad english :roll:

Normaly I use to adjust the Gain of my Sweet15.1 in a way that the Clip-LED only lights up when I hit the Strings realy hard. At our last Gig I somehow forgot to adjust it to the DI-Box and noticed this when the Gig was done :shock:
But hey, the Sound was great!
So here's my question: If I put the Gain up so that the Clip-LED will light up all the Time (would be Gain-Position 4 or 5), is there any danger to put the Amp up in smoke with that?
Or does the Clip-LED just say that the Sound will not be clean any more?

TIA
Look
 
Welcome to the forum man :-)

Well, it is possible to burn the speaker, but I don't think it is a danger for the amp itself.
Cheers, Flo
 
Well, I never planed to use this for pumping up the Volume...
If I turn up the Gain, I would have to turn down the Master-Volume as well. Just because the rest of the Band would like to here anything else than Bass too :D
Its just about the Sound, not the loudnes.
 
The clipping should be fine until you hear it. If you hear square waves / Bad sound coming out. STOP playing and turn gain down.
The LED clip indicator should start blinking when you're not far away from acctually clipping the amp. Still you should have some room to move. ;)
 
i cant hear clipping at all, even when the clip light is on continuously. i guess i dont know what clipping sounds like!
