Default presonus tube pre amp

Can somebody help me out. I'm using a presonus tube pre amp to record harp and for some reason it's distorting, even when i have the gain down at 10:00 with the Pad switch activated. Is that normal? Should I not use a tube pre for recording harp and just use it to record vocals? I'm new to this stuff....

thanks,
edson

could it be the mic distorting before it gets to the pre?
It would help if you included mic type and position.

I'm using a ADK Vienna, mic position is about 8 inches from harp soundboard, and once i disconnected the preamp the distorting went away...

any opinions>?

Sure you're not running line out from the presonus to mic in on your interface? Should be line out to line in.
