Monitoring send out.
All controls mid, except graphic out, solid tate 0, tube mid and
compressor off.
Minimum sine input to show soft clipping is at about 400Hz, requiring
1.05V rms in. Then hard clipping coming in about 1.5V rms.
I'll take that as normal "tube" function



Few bass players will drive this amp into clipping the tube.
The tube circuit has a very different EQ to the transistor circuit, which I would guess is pretty much flat.

So what does the tube EQ do that the 10 channel +/-15dB graphic cannot do?
