Mixer Overdriving - is this advised?

Hi - just noticed the little Mixer LED which shows if you are overdriving the mixer. Its actually quite hard to overdrive under normal circumstances but sticking the phone back into the external does the trick nicely.

Anyway, I noticed this LED when feeding my 303 into the Voyager. With the 303 on full volume the mixer LED is constant and this overdriving makes the 303 sound great! But, is there any risk of damaging the Voyager by overdriving like this? Obviously, I am not going to do anything stupid but will the above two examples risk damage?

Had a search in the archive but no mention. Surprisingly even the manual does not appear to mention this overdriving LED.. (only searched the manual quickly).

Thanks..

No, you can't hurt your Voyager (or the Moogerfoogers for that matter) by overdriving the audio input. That is what it is designed for! Overdrive it until your ears bleed!
