Is the red clip light on at all?
I never have any clipping at the Buddy, even at 100% gain.
In other words, is the Audio Budd clipping or are you
overdriving your sound card inputs?
Hm. How do I check whether I'm overdriving my sound card inputs?
Guess the distortion is enough of a sign :)
With my Les Paul, I keep the gain very low (like the 9
o'clock
position, so yes, 20-30%). For my Fender bass, usually a little
higher (but still less than 50%). I get an adequate, clean signal
into my Delta 66 at those levels.
Alright, so it's probably my sound card inputs.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Paul.

Are you using the mic or line input channel ? If it's the mic channel,
is there a mic boost switch that might be on ?
Best,

I'm using line and there's no boost.
