fishchris1 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 I've seen a bunch of amp review vids where the reviewer bashed on the bass boost setting on the amp, saying it was basically useless..... Yet pretty much everyone uses a wired (or remote) bass boost knob ? Isn't this just another path to the same thing ? I mean, what's the difference concerning bass boost ?
Mike4068 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 Bass boost and gain control are 2 different things. Bass boost amplifies the signal at the selected frequency and depending upon the q amplifies those around it. Gain control determines how much input voltage you are allowing into the amp. It acts as a volume knob for bass only if gains are set when the knob is at max
AaronT Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 Some bass knobs either control the gain with the ceiling being where the gain is set on the amp itself , they do not override the setting that you make on The amplifier chassis, and then some other bass knobs control the bass boost on the amp remotely from your driver seat
AaronT Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 Mike said is correct regarding the level of the remote gain control with the exception being the Rockford punch series no matter where you have the knob is it relevant when you sent the gain it will not let you override the on board gain setting
