Bumpy for frustration relief.. Just had a DOH moment! Been struggling with an album for days. Was starting to seriously doubt the skills as it just didn't work at all. It had this weird sound no matter what. Until finally remembering the polarity switch! Bam! There it was. All punchy and stuff. Confirmed by looking at the files, drum transients does indeed poke the wrong direction. It literally sucked where it should have exploded! That also explains why the never-used "wrong" setttings for once worked well on the asymmetrical wave shaping used to warm things up. Recalling, inverting, redoing the distortions and re-recording at the moment.. This will keep me polarity paranoid for a while!
post number 909! 
edit ps: Time to rename the monitor controller. Invert/normal doesn't quite describe it. The states should read Blow, and this is literally, Suck!
