Hey all -
I am routing my output 3 on the fm9 at unity gain to my Duncan PowerStage 200. In my patches I am trying to have output level set at around 0, but the PS is lighting up saying I am clipping the preamp. I would think logically if I am not clipping the output according to the Axe FX that would mean I'm not clipping the input of the Powerstage? According to the Powerstage manual:
Am I:
1. Running Unity Gain knob too hot
2. Not supposed to have the output patch levels hitting at 0db(ish)
Sorry if this is an obvious answer, just don't want to be frying the PS due to my lack of knowledge. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Given this description, I would assume that it should only be lighting up when I'm actually peaking on my Axe Fx but that doesn't seem to be the case.PREAMP CLIP / STATUS INDICATOR This LED also serves multiple purposes, indicating the following. • Preamp voltage clip warning – the LED will begin to light when the input signal is 6dB below the level of clipping. You should adjust the output level of the audio device directly feeding the PS200 so that this LED flashes on signal peaks
