gnychis:

Febs:
Glad it worked out for you ... and in a way that is much less expensive than the suggestions you received at Head-Fi. ;)

true that! I am still considering an amp from the head-fi'ers suggestions though... been considering one for a while. But, maybe i'll hold off on it a bit and do more research on the amps. I haven't really gotten to read much about them to make an educated decision. A lot of members at head-fi are also mentioning a few DIY amps and amps that members put together for much cheaper. That Tomahawk is $300 :\ heh

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but it seemed so similar to my own problem that I thought it'd be pointless creating a new one.
Anyways, I've been having problems with hiss and bass clipping ever since I bought my 5G and E2C combo last September (I've a terrible memory and have also only recently found time to sit down and type this out :D).
Basically, I know nothing about equalisers and the technical talk that goes along with it, so when I first read the manual concerning the parametric equaliser, you may as well have been talking to Spongebob Squarepants. I ended up 'blindly' adjusting the settings, using one song (Lionrock - Rudeboy Rock, for those even remotely interested) which I thought had the greatest range (plenty of cymbals, nice deep bass and a clear mid-range), turning the equaliser on and off after each adjustment until I hit on (what I believed to be) the best settings.
However, I've since found that many songs hiss and clip. At first I just thought that it was the quality of the rip, but I even get it with LAME VBR MP3 and with certain OGG files, too. I was just wondering if there's anything glaringly wrong with my settings, and if so, if anyone has any remedies? Any help will be much appreciated and any clarification given, if needed;

Chronon:
Your precut should be as large as the largest gain applied to any frequency band. I'm a little confused by the numbers you have put down there, though. Usually gain is measured in dB, what are the units for the numbers you have given?
