The volume is only set at 9 o'clock though, it shouldn't be clipping pwr amp this early even with the gain cranked.

 

 

This is wrong, frankly. Digging in hard with a pick and the gain at max, you should absolutely expect to clip a power amp, even with a passive bass - unless your bass's output is extremely low.

 

Most bass amps are such that you can hit peak output far before you max out your input volume, to accomodate a range of instrument signals and playing styles. Imagine if you were playing soft fingerstyle with a low output bass for example, vs. a high output bass with a pick or slapping/popping.

 

The Genz output limiter is pretty sensitive also, and I believe it will clip long before being at "maximum" safe output.

Hey man how's your new GB rig treat'in ya ?

 

it's great, i really dig it. i can get the same/similar tone as I got with the NeoPak:love: and the extra horsepower @ 8ohms with the NeoX112T seems to really help. Now i just need to get a few gigs under my belt so i can buy another cab for the outdoor gigs
