hi, i just got a classic dmm, and im wondering if its ok for the unit, if the overload light is constantly blinking. i mean, i know it has to do with what ever u have the imput volume set as, but i like it pretty loud, and that light keeps flickering, just wondering if its ok for the unit, cus, i dont at all mind the distortion on the repeats, it sounds cool
shouldn’t hurt to have it on. It just indicates that the signal is clipping. If you like it, go with it!
thanks, just wanted to make sure i wasnt breaking it. already went though enough trouble to get this thing, dont wanna have to do it again.
Go by what you hear, not what the LED does. No harm in overdriving the pedal if you don’t mind the distortion.
I do a Hot Pickup mod that increases the headroom to reduce distortion when the level is high, as with hot pickups.
If interested in this and other mods for the DMM, email me at howard.davis2@att.net
