That is a posibility that I thought maybe I should check out (probably this
weekend). I just know that when I was patching up a sound and turned some of
the 440 mixer knobs up too high I got quite an awful sounding distortion, but
being in the middle of patching a sound I learned to keep those mixer knobs
at or below their mid points for the time being. I'll see if I am
overdriving another module in the chain.
