I just tuned my amp this way, giving myself an undistorted volume of 29 out of 35. If I'm listening for the test tone to change then notching that dial back right to where it stops, what real extra benefit will a voltmeter or an oscilliscope give me? IF the change in tone occurs when clipping begins wouldn't it be at the same point on the oscilliscope? Wouldnt a voltmeter throw your readings off from ideal settings if the amp is putting out less than or more than rated power?I hear all the time that the measuring instruments are best but I'm interested to hear if anyone has ever tuned the same amp using all three methods to see how different the settings were each time.</blockquote>
