stevh0 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 For the last few decades or so, nearly everyone I know adjusts the Bass boost to full and then tweaks their amp gains from there. Is this the correct way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzzon Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 If the goal is just to burp test tones, sure. If you are listening to music, it will be the worst sounding music tuning possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevh0 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Exactly what I was thinking. Most audio shops end up doing the same thing. Could this also lead to premature voice coil burning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Welp. Count a single person out here. I've never used bass boost in my life. And I compete in burp along with other areas of competition. Normally is boosts around 45 for 99% of amps out there. 45hz does nothing for me.

mothra Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 bass boost = instant distortion when I first got my DD1, a tech I was training told me they max the bass boost then adjust the gain. every amp we tested, when both the gain and bass boost knob were moved the distortion light would come one when the second knob was moved slightly. didn't matter if we did bass boost second or gain second. most of the time the distortion was not audible. every time the gain was adjusted with no bass boost it was louder than maxing the bass boost then adjusting the gain. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Ive never used the bass boost gain. imo im not even sure why they have it. The main gain should be all you need, the bass boost knob is just the easiest way to cause distortion.
