Would that help though? I can already pad the input before it hits the EDP front end with the send on the mixer. Say for example the input on the mixer and the EDP is set to halfway, which is as hot as I can run it without overload showing up in the audio. The output on the EDP is now set to max, as is the return on the mixer, and the result is a little bit quieter than the live instrument signal. The problem seems to be that however you get the input signal to non-overloading maximum, the ratio of gain you can add from the output stage isn't quite enough to bring it to unity.

The old ones were quiet like that, and the input was very sensitive. You can fix the gain in it to be like the newer ones with a couple of resistor changes, if you are handy with a soldering iron (or know somebody who is).
