I thought that the red clip light let you know you were clipping the front end. But I would never hear anything harsh. The tone remained the same. The master volume turns from orange to red?

Bugera Veyron BV1001M gig review
- Thread starter Justice
- Start date
No. It seems one of the guys on this thread said he clipped the amp on a gig. Having used it on a gig, and beaten it on "bassfest" with Addison, the idea of clipping the amp is beyond me.
Ok, since we are talking about the input (Gain) section of the amp, I'm back to what I originally stated. I have to turn the gain up way high and smack on each of my basses pretty hard to get it to trip the light. Now in comparison, With the T version If I set the Gain at about noon I don't have a problem at all getting that light to flash. Doesn't take extra hard dynamics either....

I was able to get the orange ring to turn red into my 15/6 but only when using an external preamp into the effects loop. I can hear it clip before it turns red when using the front end. It's not entirely accurate but I don't really care. It's as loud as I'd ever need it to be. Plan on making a small 2x15 with a pair of 3015's (non-lf) I have on hand. Should be fun.
Speaking of the effects loop, what are you using to engage it? Footswitch? If so, from where? I know that Behringer makes one that should work (Model: FS112B).
I actually picked up one of the two button Behringer footswitches from a pawn shop really cheap, like 10 bucks or so. have not tried it yet but it should work since I think all of the Behringer 2 button footswitches are the same, just with different graphics
I just started an effects board. It will be the first one that I have ever owned. Trying to get my head wrapped around how to best utilize it....
Given the fact that my M drives a TecAmp 4 Ohm L810 I'd probably clip my ears before the amp itself ran into the powerstage limiter...
Also wouldn't need to use the compressor then anymore as my brain would get pretty much compressed between the ears I would guess...

I just tried the loop with my gk mb500 for pre/power section comparisons.
I'm not too concerned with the input clip indicator either. I don't hear any difference when it's all lit up versus the pad with gain adjusted.
The fan on mine isn't variable speed. It's quiet enough though. Compared to all poweramps I have it's easy to forget about it.

I let my nephew gig with my Veryon M this past Saturday and it sounded good. And it made all kinds of perty colors in the night. Great Father's Day Gift.
It seems more people are picking up the M than the T. Unless the T has an amazing additional tone from the tube preamp, I'd probably get the M to play the odds and not have to worry about the tube later on. What are other's reasons for going with the M. I guess price is the other reason, but it's not that much more and seems reasonably priced for both.
In my experience the T was a little harder to find initially. Not so sure that it the case now. They are voiced a little differently. To me the T is a little more warmer, darker, vintage sounding when set flat than the M is at similar settings. The M has a lot of warmth to it though. I've got both in house right now trying to make a decision on whether or not to keep the T. It's not an easy decision. The M is definitely staying....

Same with me.
I also had both of them at home for a few days, quite a pair of different beasts.
The M is more pronounced in the mid/upper mid range and overall sounds a bit more "snappy".
The T focuses more on the low mid range where it moves some serious air, but you'll have to dial in a lot of treble to get a bit of that sparkling top end, where it can easily get bitey and too much from the M.
Both are great sounding amps, but voiced quite differently.
Oh, and both of them are not the kings of overdrive without a stompbox.
Both of them can be overdriven, but none of them sounds any good to my ears.

Same here.
I played the Invalid Link Removed and the Invalid Link Removed for a while. My impressions were like those of Lindex: The Sound of the Veyron M goes more in the Mids, the Veyron T is has more deep lows and mids.
