i just got one of these and i was using it on a snare, and at first i had a lil of boards pres turned up (like at 9 o'clock), and it was clipping so i turned it down and it still clipped so then i took the +20db off and it still clipped. well any ways i got it to stop clipping, but i cant help but feel i wasnt using it at its full potential, is there any position on the iput and output knobs i should start out with? plus am i gonna have this problem when i use it for vocals? thanx
