Why are you using so much processing? Especially a line driver: what's its purpose?

Or is it "to boost the line level right into overdriving the input side of my amplifier, reducing the dynamic range the amplifier is capable of providing, and thus driving my mids and highs into an early grave"?

THAT'S what's going to happen. Forget the line driver. Period.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
