clipping sounds

As a start set everything on the amp to a noon position. Turn off any boots or bright switches or anything like that. Set all the controls on a passive bass to 100%. On and active bass set them the the indent in the middle position. If your cabs have horns with volume controls set them to the mid point as well. If your bass is active set any input "pad" switches or knobs to the active position. Then play away how you would normally play. Experement with the gain and master volume knobs for loudness. If you still have the problem bring your gutar to another amp at a store or a friends house and see if you still have the problem, If you still have the problem on another amp it could be a problem with your guitars set up or even your playing style. I had a click I hated for a long time until I discovered it went away when I played closer to the neck. Also you may get more clicking from stainless strings then from nickel plated ones. Let me know how it goes.

 

try turning your ch1 and ch 2 volume down and adjust your volume with the master.

you should turn your ch volumes just high enough until they turn your input light red only when you are digging hard. Of course you have to adjust them different depending on the blend you want. Use the master to get loudness.

I had the same problem you had until I did this. Now my 1200s sounds awesome.

Hope this was clear

try going to your friend's house.... i'm assuming that you know how to work your amp. and have checked all your cables... the next possiblity is line noise coming from your wall socket... it happnes to me sometimes.. give it a try. Even a different socket in you own house maybe, or don't put it so close to the tv/microwave etc..

i'm probably wrong.. but its worth a try.

 

Here this should clear up my earlier post. (from manual)

Begin playing your Bass as vigorously as you
would during any regular performance; if necessary
engage the -6dB PAD button. In order to obtain the
optimum signal from the preamp, it is important to
play with your maximum performance intensity when
setting up the 1200s.

Turn the channel 1 volume control up until the
INPUT LEVEL LED flashes red. Next, turn down the
CH. 1 VOLUME level until the LED flashes red
occasionally; this will ensure maximum output
without clipping or distorting the preamp.

Turn the MASTER VOLUME to your desired
playing level.

i got the easiest and shortest solution compared to these other guys....

turn down your treble and bring up your bass and mids a little bit. that should work fine.
