"Distortion will occur BEFORE clipping will"

The golden sentence...if it is true. That was my problem. I was not sure if distortion came before clipping. OBVIOUSLY "I" will not keep turning the gain while the distortion is pumping through just to find clipping. No need to get angry over how someone shoulnd't listen to "dirty" sound.

I will use MY MONEY without worry now, thank god you ship to Canada.

I know it's hard to grasp the concept of distortion if there is no clipping. I will try to get some good pictures from my bench, showing the SMD DD-1 in action. For now, check out this picture of a distorted sine wave vs. a clean sine wave. Your little hand-held scope is not going to tell you about this, it may show it on the screen but unless you have robot eyes you aren't going to know what you are looking at. Hell, you have to look closely at those little LCD displays even to see clipping!

By the way, the blue is the distorted signal, red is clean.

When using this to tune a sub amp, what 40hz tone do you want to use? Idk if you are supposed to use the 0db, -5db, or -15db?

im sure it will come with a CD that has the freqs on it, that you need to test with, so no need to worry about downloading them...

It also has instruction manual to inform you how to use it, so I'm sure they'll tell you which to use.

it all deals with the amount of gain overlap you want to have. Although the higher overlap, the usual more distortion you have as a consequence but gain DB.

here is what im trying to say:
