[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8782151, member: 587645"] Clipping in itself isn't really any different than a regular sine wave if you are just measuring peak voltages. In order to "sense" a clipped signal there would need to be some kind of sampling of the output signal to detect any peak voltages measured longer than a specific cycle period. That cycle period would vary by the tone being played or the waveform being reproduced. An accurate clip indicator would need some actual circuitry inside of it, or the amp would need it to be built into the board and the "remote bass knob with indicator" would just be a display and level adjustment.
