Miletown

Thanks PaulTBaker. I've seen Jason's vids on this topic, plus other's that have talked about it, but I'm still unsure about using the powercab in my band. I don't think the few db it has before going completely in the red will be enough for soloing. It's not a EQ problem, just a volume problem since, unfortunately, my band plays pretty loud. I guess I'll have to take a chance and try it.

Thanks Kilrahi. I appreciate the input. In all of my testing I've come to the conclusion that there's only around 4 to 6 db of headroom between the yellow and the red. My band has two guitars so I need just a few more db's to cut through nicely.

Hi All, I play in a hard rock band and I've been working on dialing in my PC212+ with my Helix LT for the possibility of using it live. However, I noticed that the window (for lack of a better term) between the signal LED in the yellow (the most realistic non-linear natural breakup characteristics) and the LED in the red (clipping) is very small. This has prevented me from achieving suitable levels for lead playing. I should add that we have to use our own PA at all our shows and we don't have a dedicated sound man. Are there any ideas on how to address this issue? How hard is it on the powercab if it clips for short periods of time? Thanks!
