I´ve recently finiched my dual 1176 with the opamp input option.
It sound great on guitars and congos, but it distort very easy when I play bass trough it, not so easy when compress but I´m almost have to put my input gain att minimum to avoid distorsion.

I´ve only made a quick calibration of it so far...

I´ve read that some other have this issue but is there any solution to this?
 
bUMP..

It´s not an emergency but it´s annoying.. I´ve already tried to search the forum and other places..

Someone have a clue??
 
Did you do the resistor mod that sets the threshold higher? It gives much more flexibility to the input level..if you haven't done that mod then your opamp 1176 is behaving exactly like mine did before i did it...search for a mod here..I think it is r33? Without a stepdown from an input transformer the signal is really hot!
