Awesome. The effects were built into the amp.
 
[EDIT: The device that had the problem was not the RME but the Tascam 2488. See subsequent posts.]
My preamp for my Mic was an rme quad Mic pre. The limiting above zero was not consistent during the evening's recording.

I'm going to look at the direct wave form tonight and then run some equipment tests. I was using my tascam 2488 too. Maybe it was running into that instead. I can't quite remember.

+1 to Beagle. I assume you have not manually adjusted DC offset, so there is some weird imbalance going on with that signal (your screenshot has a significant offset in it).

I haven't manually applied dc offset.

There are distortion devices that do asymmetrical clipping on purpose. But it could also be problems with a push-pull stage. Power supply issues are a strong possibility.

I'll have to try to replicate at home. Then I'm guessing that gas attack will follow.

I'm eager to check which device caused issue.

Any possibility that the basement just didn't haven't juice for the band? Could that do it? I've used all my gear for years and years without this issue before.

True, I rarely record sixteen tracks.

Here is a track...
