Not to get too off topic and go into teacher mode, but there are two problems here worth mentioning.
1) The 3630 is a line level device, it is not meant to go between the mic and the pre.
2) Why are you trying to record your levels hot into pro tools? I can think of no upside to that. You are adding a device that will degrade your sound, so that you can record your levels hot (another thing that will most likely degrade your sound)
I am not a purist or anything, so if your approach gets you something that you think is cool, that is all that matters, but if you are trying to get things to sound "good" in a way that most people would describe it, its seems like you are working against your best interest.
