from one of PIN emails I got

- do not turn the volume of the output amps above 5 - to avoid clipping and noise.
- same for module levels, if you want a smooth sound and processing keep the levels at '5'.
Do you find that you get an adequate signal level for recording when everything is at 5? I've found that I then need to crank up my preamp's gain to compensate, which in turn also raises the noise floor. Pretty sure I can live with it though especially since I enjoy the signal being a bit saturated by the various stages. But I am curious whether others are able to get an adequate level with everything at 5.
Keep the level at the output amps around 5 not the modules levels. To get a balanced patch you have to find the correct signal-to-noise ratio. Its similar to a synthi but a portabella is more difficult to handle because it has twice the power.
I repeat what I said because it may not have been clear. I've always had my output amp levels at almost 7. I don't have any particular noise concerns. I balance with the rest. I know that it is advisable to maintain at 5, Sandro told me so and I have read the different manuals.
