This is what I mean by "mistake" - as in, not working as intended. It feels like such an obvious omission that it can't be intended 

To be fair it takes some beans to distort a 300W SVT on its own

purely pointing out that Id expect a capture to have at least some breakup when pushed.

The QC is good at adding a little more/less gain to captures (did this for guitar rather than bass but same rules I suppose) haven’t tried it with these NAM in the anagram as they come with 3 distortion levels to pick from as you’d expect so little need. Although I don’t think you’d get good results anywhere taking a clean capture and trying to gain it up to distortion

Yeah, I'd still expect even a little saturation though if it was a capture and I pushed it aggressively. The suggestion from Ivan was that it was impossible to get any distortion whatsoever, not even a hair of break up by pushing.

Are we talking about a capture here or the Peggy (that’s what Darkglass call the Ampeg) model? I can just go and try this now if it’s the model and let you know

My initial question was regarding the Peggy model.

 

I’ve heard conflicting statements regarding how it does/doesn't saturate. Someone suggested it was a capture and that was why it lacked gain I believe, I suggested that you'd still expect breakup if it was a capture.

 

All I’m interested in is if the Peggy or GK models have the capacity to break up but seems impossible to get an answer 🤣

The Peggy is a model. I personally wouldn’t expect breakup from a capture that didn’t have any break up when it was captured. I can go and push the Ampeg model now though and see what it does

It would be cool to find out for certain, I didn't realise it was going to be so contentious 🤣

How long have you been here?

I hope it’s not going that way… just bass gear innit. But there is always gunna be crossed wires when a million people put out a video and we have models, captures, NAM (which are called models but are really what QC would call captures) and neural has nowt to do with NAM despite having the same name. 
 

aye that Peggy to me sounds like it’s modelling the pre of a proper SVT which you would have to work hard to make drive. I would always use something else with it to drive it. On the bright side it sounds excellent and half regretting not making my gigging presets with it.

I bought my Anagram a few days ago, it’ll be with me in the first week of July 😮.

 

I’m certain it’ll be worth the wait though, we’re looking at going ampless in the next year, and this looks perfect for my needs.
