Most gain knobs are labeled with the voltage input, so the larger the number, the lower you are adjusting the gain. Since people are use to larger numbers meaning higher output (like a volume indicator), gains get set 'backwards' a lot.Sounds like you didnt have it backwards though. But that leaves me confused, that Q should have been able to handle that many watts without any serious problems. Perhaps low system voltage lead to clipping then. Its also possible your signal source can drive your amp into clipping even with the lowest possible gain setting, which would mean you would need to further minimize output with your volume knob.</blockquote>
