I have to ask, is the distorted sound coming through live outputs as well as headphones?
Regards

Are you overdriving the volumes somewhere? There are several in series: Amp levels, Mixer levels, and Drive for each patch internally, and the main Volume knob externally. Also the EQ and filters (particularly with higher resonances) could easy distort the sound if piled on. Various effects could too.

I explained in an earlier post that I felt the Radias had a low overhead in the amplifier range...

If you jam it in any portion , you will hear some artifacts if you pass that point in the output stage........most likely from to many simulated amplifier stages...I find the phones amp is kind of cheap myself, and the mains are much cleaner...

but yes .....there is amps at the pre filter mixer, post filter, bass/treble EQ,
main timbre volume drive/waveshape before it goes through the amps in the DSP/FX section....finally master volume....
I wished there was an update to get the compare led to flash at clip level....or a clip indicater on the LCD.....
