Members ryanstanley Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 or does it depend on the amp? cause i would think that saturating the power amp on a bass amp would be just as effective if not more than on a guitar amp, in making it sound more full-toned... especially with distortion.. but when i try to push either solidstate amp i have (which i actually HAVE to do at practice, next to two tube guitar amps), everything about their sound turns to {censored}... farty, crackly, eww so would this be different on a tube bass amp? or does bass just need headroom always?

Members greenshag Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 you can't saturate a ss power or pre section, that is why they turn farty on ya. and headroom is ALWAYS a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the only ones with a tube power amp are the SVT CL, the SVT AV, the SVT VR, the V-4BH, and the SVT 2 pro out of the heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
