herman Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 hello all, im running an ampeg svt 450h head, 2x10 + 1x18 svt cabs, the master volume is set at 3 0`clock, but when i turn the gain towards 11 0`clock the green limit light flickers, am i harming the speakers? there is also a red `peak` light next to the gain control, would that be bad news if the `peak` light come on? thanks herman.

The peak LED shows when the input to the amplifier is too high - there's a little 'PAD' button next to the input socket, switching that on will reduce the input level.
