Ampeg Svt 3 Pro

[greyshark]

So I am well aware that the flashing red light on my svt 3 doesn't mean the amp is clipping as it's only at that point it really starts shining. But I want to ask how can I know that I cranked it up too much.

If it's the one by the input, that just tells you when the gain of the first stage is becoming a bit hot. Turning the gain right up might generate some distortion, but you won't have 'cranked it up too much' unless you also turn up the master to the point that you are going to blow up your power transistors and/or your speaker(s).

Just listen. Ignore those lights!
