    Maybe it's just the recording, if an old blues song? Mic levels too hot, etc.

    Are you experiencing a lot of distortion or just the occasional crackle? When Muddy Waters lets off with a loud vocal such as in You Gonna Need My Help at 2:24.4 "Whoa you leave home in the morning" the EMT plate and tape delay overload briefly resulting in an inter-stage distortion lasting approximately 39 samples.

    Interesting that our hearing can detect such a brief low level (-40 dBFS) crackle riding on a -15dBFS cycle.

    @atomicbob Just the occasional crackle on rapid volume volume increases. This track has it a few times. For example when he cries "ohhhh" at about 0:39-0:40. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6B7QzSF3oQ

    Heard that same crackle on the "Ohhh/Whoa" at 2:24 on You gonna Need My Help too.

    Glad it's Muddy's powerful voice and not my gear at fault.
