        Hi.

        I know there is a usefull LED indicator but I'm really curious why other digital stompboxes don´t use this light indicator and how Eventide handles this clipping issue internally. Is there a buffer,a limitter?

        Thanks a lot Smile

          There is an analog soft clipper at the front end, and then many effects have compression or limiting.

          The LED lights a bit ahead of the overload point as a warning.

            Thanks in advance!

            Would you mind pointing any situations I should be aware in order to avoid this "clipping" issue? I mean if I use a guitar with an active pickup or Boss SD-1pedal plugged into Modfactor. Is there a proper volume level to be set?

              You have to drive it pretty hard to hit the limiter.  The first defense would be the guitar/line switch on the back panel.

                Sorry Nicholas, my english is not very "sharp" (I speak portuguese). What do you mean by "drive it pretty hard"?

                Thanks a lot for your time.

                  Apologies..

                  "drive it pretty hard" = "give it a very high signal level"

                    Nicholas, my last question. I promisse!

                    When you said "and then many effects have compression or limiting"  are you talking about Eventide stompboxes effects or other brands?

                      I'm talking about our effects – but don't ask me which ones have which – too difficult.
