bassl0va Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 What ohm load is it wired to? And are you dropping to 10v when you play it?

Boon Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Where's your gain set? And as above, what ohm load is it wired to. Those things generally either work properly or die completely... Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirill007 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yes and my gain is at half and the bass boost is off Oke, at half, but how did you set it up? By ear? Using a DMM? Using a Oscope? Or did you just turned it up? Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJD3 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 By ear At the very least get a DMM. You literally can't hear well enough to prevent all distortion.
