I'll be checking this out too..

But just to clarify... do the input lights go into red full time when you are overdriving the inputs?

I've been 'playing nice' with mine for 6 years now...
I was talking with Fletcher one day with this same question and he mentioned a piece of tape over the meters so it would quit making me nuts.

Now I nerver got the tape out but I quit worrying about the meters so much.I drive them till they sound the way I want them and some times calm them down with a comp or I use the output pads.

I found when you find the "sweet spot" of this pre (512) it will stay tight in the lows but will maintain that rock n roll attitude I desire.

As of late I have been hitting 499 at 15ips with the 512c's and lovin the results on Guitars,drums and bass.

Real sticky!
