Hi, I have the Gallien Krueger Backline 600 head and its been clipping a lot on the E string lately. I have a bass with active electronics, but i pushed in the -10db pad and its still seems to clip. My input volume is also only about halfway with boost the same. Any suggestions? -Thanks.

Hi, i want to get a Gallien Krueger head and cabinet(s) and i wasn't sure if i would be better off with the backline 600 and BLX-115 and 210 cabs or the backline 600 with the GLX-410. Either way i want the 600 head but i was wondering what you guys think about the cabinets. Thanks.
