Clipping or not Clipping?

Ken Jones Bronze Member Username: Livingloudl7 Post Number: 74 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Saturday, July 28, 2007 - 04:18 GMT ok i just hooked up my zx1500.1 to my 18 fi bl and i have the bass boost off and the gain set half way. when i turn it up it seems like it is pulsing kinda like some notes hit harder than the others.. i'm not sure quite how to describe it, its just not a very steady bass line. would this be clipping? and how can i fix it?
