bass= distortion?

[robertoyoung08 10+ year member]

everything sounds pretty clean.

but when the sub gets too loud or hits, it seems to distort the full range sound.

wtf? is that even possible? or is the sub pulling too much from electrical or something like that?

my bad.. stupid other thread didnt post shit for some reason.

whats your crossover setting on the sub? its possible you have it crossed too high and its trying to play at full range. that might be the distortion you are hearing.

and how could i fix this, if this was the case?

i can understand the mids/highs trying to play the bass, but they couldnt be trying to play them from the sub, mids/highs are on separate amp from the sub amp.

and to tell the truth.. im not too good with settings the crossovers on the amps. especially not the sub amps. so im not exactly sure if the mono amp settings are right.

i have my crossovers on the full range amp at high pass and im not exactly sure what frequency its at though

Hey thanks for all of the replies. This is making the Axe even more interesting. Would be great to be able to use it on the occasional bass jobs instead of investing in a pro bass rig too. Currently have a mid-level combo bass amp.
