dmckee

Can I just ask - is it the case that the dots are in the wrong place (ie where they be on a fretted neck) for both the EY fretless neck AND the Custom World one? The EY seems to have disappeared too, unfortunately. Anyone know of a fretless neck that has the dots in the right place? Cheers, Dave.

Thanks guys. All helpful. I had a guy somewhere else saying he just disconnected the light altogether. :-) Everyone, including Aguilar, seem to say to just ignore it. Why bother putting it there then, eh?

I did have the gain down lower and the master up higher to achieve the same overall volume and the clip light was still flickering. Anyway, from what I can gather, most folk seem to basically ignore the clip light! Need to play about more with the gain and see what it does to the tone. It obviously doesn't function anything like a normal gain, in that you can have it off completely and still have a signal based purely on the master volume.

I understand that it doesn't damage the amp, but I assume it is (or will be) audible, at some volume. It just seems odd that you can't control the preamp and power amp separately, as you do on most other amps, in order to prevent any clipping at all by the preamp. i.e. what if you don't think clipping is a "desirable characteristic"?

[font=Verdana][size=3] Hi,[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3] I've had a bit of a read around other posts on this but can't quite get my head round it so maybe someone can help me out. [/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3] I've just bought a TH500 and love the tone. However, I found at a louder rock gig last night that my clip light was flickering quite a bit, basically at the start of most notes. I guess I'm a reasonably heavy player, but while the overall volume was quite loud, it wasn't crazy loud, and I'm worried I'm already at the limit of the amp's power, which (if true) is a bit disappointing. [/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3] What I don't really understand is why the master volume seems to feed the preamp and not just the power amp. i.e. how do you increase the volume of the power amp, without clipping the preamp? [/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3] I've attached a pic of my settings from last night. I tried various combinations of gain up or down / master up or down but still seemed to be getting this clipping light flickering at the same overall volume levels. For info, the -10db pad was in, I was playing a Stingray at about 90% on it's volume control, and was playing through a TC Electronic RS210[color=#22229C] [/color]and a 112 (i.e. 4 ohms load overall). [/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3] I really expected to get more volume out of this amp without the fear of a clipped signal. Is there something I'm missing?
