[QUOTE="12Voltz, post: 3662263, member: 583752"] i made an edit in my previous post. My partner just pointed out, that not all amps have markings on the gain control indicating the actual input voltage setting. So this will only work on amps that have voltage indicators on the gain control. To set a gain on other amps, you will need to know the reccomended output voltage for the amp to maximize performance. Unfortunately, not all amp manufacturers provide this information. To avoid issues with clipping i reccomend using a high performance line driver. This will allow you to set your gain to the lowest setting, and allow for least amount of THD. We like the memphis line driver, so long as the amp will handle a 9v input. [/QUOTE]
