I've had my KPA since 2012 and never had this issue before, but lately my input LED blinks red constantly. It seems the only way I can stop the clipping is by turning Clean Sense down to -12 (distortion sense had no impact on the level). I'm not well versed on CS/DS but have always left both at -0- in the past and the LED would only blink red occasionally. I'm currently on the most recent firmware release but this started happening a few versions back. Besides updating firmware, nothing else has changed. I'm using the same guitar as I always have (a Peavey Wolfgang with stock pickups).
Any ideas? Is this something to be concerned about? Am I correct in using Clean Sense to avoid clipping or is there a better way?
