Yes it is like a pop when the clipping kicks in. I can reproduce this with a passive bass directly into the amp. It sounds like this is something that is repairable, I’ll look at ways to send it in for repair. It is certainly motivating me to find another amp head as a backup which is probably...

It doesn’t matter how low the input gain is there is only about 50W (guessing) worth of output I can get out of it before clipping sets in. Yes I have tried all the tricks to rule in/out any other...

Heh, that’s funny. The pre-amp side is why I’m keeping it. I can dial in just the right amount of SVT pre-amp grit and the tone controls are fantastic. However the cab sim clips easily and badly so it’s safer for me not to use it. Don’t get me started on the effects loop. But it is still on my...

I’ve got the classic pedal too and man is it noisy! It’s fine at gigs but at practice the noise is too much. I’m going to take mine off my board and rely on my Ampeg amp more. I’m using a stingray right before the pedal so there’s a decent strength signal going through.

I have bought one recently. The improvement on passive basses is amazing! But it seems to take the life out of my active basses. I'm also disappointed with how weak the signal on the effects loop is. It has made my envelope filter unusable. In short the cab sim and SVT like pre is great as long...
