Wasn't sure about the best way to word the title.

I have a lunch box with shadow hills mono gama pre's, 550b's, purple odd's. Going out of my daw I am needing to pad when going back into any of this gear.

Question? When I go from pre directly to the eq if I want to push the transformer in the pre but not the eq would I Pad after the pre as well. If I am pushing enough signal into the pre or turning up the gain to get some grit out of the pre would it not be sending too much signal to the eq?

Thanks
