Just your ears and aethetic feelings from gross distortion . :D The preamplifier just "saturates", when its output level reached its supply voltage . It might amplify voltages by 20dB (x100) or thereabout, but it can't produce an output of hundred of volts just because it gets a volt or so . It can only swing a but less than its supply voltages . What it can do is distort .

A mixer will often set the levelafter the preamplifier .

The best solution is to use a sound card which has a line level input; either a USB one, or on someone else's computer . ;-) This will both get around the level problem and give both channels .
