MOTM

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.
