Yeah, I also run my tinybox at the lowest gain setting for loud rock shows. And even with that, I had to set my M10's levels to 2 (two!) at a recent outdoors festival when taping from in front of the line arrays. The recording sounds fine, though. That's also why I ordered my IPA with gain settings of 0/9/18dB. Don't really need any gain at most of the shows I tape anyway...
