| Any time you disable compression you run the risk of hurting something,
probably your speakers, if you push the amp to clipping. Having mondo-
watt rated speakers isn't the solution, as if the AMP runs out of
headroom, the speakers will get sent a garbage wave.
Better to have more headroom on the amp. Or compress.
I've got a schematic of the PV DDT circuitry from my XR-1200 board.
I imagine it's similar to whatever you have. You're welcome to a copy.

I have a PV MAX bass which has 2 400W CS800 Power amps. I think
this qualifies as enough headroom. I guess I'm not real sure why
PV would put compression on amps with this kind of power. I'm also
at a loss to explain why the compression LED lights up so quickly.
I know my band plays loud, but there is no way I'm doing 400W,
even on the peaks.

| Tom - I just remembered that my board has 2 toggle switches precisely
for the purpose of disabling the DDT circuit. (I always leave them
enabled...)
Perhaps you can adapt the circuit to your needs....

Tom - I goota agree with you, I've had two Peavy Bass Amps before
going to all rack gear, and the DDT comes on way too early.
I liked everything else about them though. Like the rack
stuff a bit better though.

Make sure your cabs can handle the peeks, especially if pop & slap,
otherwise......^ 8^(

Disable it and use a footpedal compression box. I was using the
DOD model bass compressor and it works fine and is adjustable.

| re: .5
I have a pair of EV-15L speakers that are rated at 400W continuous
and 1600W peak. No problem in the pop department.
re: .6
If I can have it disabled, I going to. The DDT really zaps the
dynamics in my playing.

I'll get the prints right out to ya...

Yeah, it's really tough on bugs and small animals too!
