My TC M*One XL reverb manual says:

  The OVERLOAD LEDs indicate one of two situations:
  - The Input level is too hot and therefore overloading.
  - There is an internal DSP overflow.
  The Overload LED is lit when 1 sample is @ -1dBFS.

So JAMin is being honest, but maybe your desk is playing safe.


Cheers for yet another interesting thread!
