Re: [emax] Is the Emax I supposed to distort heavily when the input level is too high?

it's not supposed to (ie designed to as a matter of course) distort the
input signal, but if you have the gain cranked way up, and then put in a
high level signal, then yes, it will.

Try backing the gain way off, try again, and see what happens.
