If you did the higher gain option on the 410, then you're cool.
In general, the signal to noise ratio in your average motm module is high enough that any
generous +4 signal (a couple volts), will work fine. It's not necessary to have every signal
hitting the rails.
The wavewarper is kind of a special case, as the bizarre transformations of extreme levels
through that thing may be interesting.
