[QUOTE="bean, post: 66679, member: 541109"] Do you realize what you've started? Do you understand the amount of carnage and mayhem that will arise because you've asked about the gain control of amplifiers? You're in for it now buddy, I'll be the first to argue.................lol Gain controls are pretty misunderstood so this is a good question and you're a lot closer to the answer than your buddy...... First off, the gain does not control the output of the amplifier even though when you turn it up it gets louder. What it's doing that makes it appear louder is taking away head room so the amplifier reaches it's peak out put quicker. The bad thing is, that the more you turn that gain up, the quicker the amplifier will send clipped signals to your speakers which will break them. this is all I'm going to give you for now. I want a few more posts to happen so we can be certain that you get the answer you're looking for. I've tried to make this pretty simple and in doing so, I know someone is going to say. "That fuc king bean dip character doesn't know what he's talking about." That's fine. In the simplification there are some things that have been lost. [/QUOTE]
