Fixed Tube Pre Noise

I hear it distort down to 3.
I use the neck humbucker on an L5.
I don't hear it until I start hitting block chords...9ths, 13ths, 7/6...
 
That's weird because TUBE PRE doesn't really add distortion (edit: in the lower half of the range of Input Drive).
I tested it right now. I hear no added amp distortion when increasing Input Drive (edit: from 2 to 5).
What I do get when doing that, is output clipping (output level is too high) and that's easily dealt with.

So for proper gain staging I'd increase Input Drive.

The point it distorts at is dependent on the input. So if his input is hotter than yours, you may not make it to 5 without distorting.
