HX Stomp: Digital Clipping on the Princeton

Hi All, I'm getting some digital clipping when using the Princeton Model. I've tried turning down the Master and CH Vol and still get some clipping. My signal is Guitar straight into HX, and L/R out via Line signal to my interface. Interface is set to line, gain is at zero on the interface. I have to volume knob turned all the way up on the HX.

 

I could try throwing a compressor in front of the signal and see if that helps, but I'm open to suggestions. Again, only seems to be on the Princeton amp model.

From your description it sounds like you're going into a mixing board?  I'm basing that on your description :

"L/R out via Line signal to my interface. Interface is set to line, gain is at zero on the interface. I have to volume knob turned all the way up on the HX."

 

Normal inputs into a mixing board expect Mic signal levels which are WAY lower than Line level.  The fact you have the gain set at zero, which I'm assuming means the 12 o'clock position, really means nothing.  What matters is the signal level as shown by the mixing board signal lights on that channel, not the position of the knob.  If this is the case it doesn't surprise me at all with the Helix main output maxed out that you'd be getting clipping on that channel.  The first thing I'd do if this is all true would be to change the Helix output level to Mic rather than Line and see if that helps.
