how much clipping can a hdc3 12 take?

[JakeSmith]

yes but not all of us have a dd-1

if it smells, turn it down.

clip light on the remote is useless anyway. used my oscope to tune the gains with the knob attached. at like 1/2 turn on the remote knob, the clip light would start flickering, but the wave is fine on the scope. i could turn it to like 3/4 or something and have the clip light solid on and THEN the amp would start to clip.

just my experience with it. if you do what i did though, dont blame me if by some chance your coils let go.

If you can't afford one

I'm sure theirs someone close to you that'll let you borrow it or even do it for you

i dont know anyone that has one. im not going to have it crazy clip just a little more power to it i hardly here is clip or distort when the clip light is soild lit

so i should just have it were the remote light clip just barely soild and not play it all that long?

and if anyone lives close to lapeer, Mi with a dd-1 that you can help set my gain would be great

I thought the clip light was pretty accurate, I remember people here posting that the clip light started pretty close to dead on when checking with a dd-1. Im not saying this like im saying youre wrong just useful information that it may not be

if i had a dd-1 i'd definitely test that out.

from what i've been told, AQ's clip light system works off of the rail voltage inside the amp (whatever that means). and when the rail voltage goes beyond a certain point, the clip light starts to go off. power can still be clean even if that voltage "point" is exceeded.
