[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8752834, member: 587645"] I know everyone has their own way of setting gains. But I've never understood using a tone to set your stage amp. For sub amps, yes I totally get it. It's playing a limited range, and music is extremely variable in how much bass it has. But excluding 100hz and below, music is pretty consistent. I personally set my stage amp by ear. I have more than enough power, so I'm setting my gain to my listening level. I guess I can understand using a tone to make sure you aren't clipping, but at the same time it would be better to use pink noise to set your stage amp rather than a 1khz tone if you are trying to be safe.
