Cutlass HSS Bridge Pickup Clean Tone

Cutlass HSS Bridge Pickup Clean Tone

Hi Guys, I’m curious how you all get clean tones from the bridge humbucker pickup.

When I record my cutlass through UA Dream pedal to a audio interface, I find the sound from the bridge is distorted even with very low input gain on both the ua pedal and my audio interface. I can see the recorded waveform is squashed even though the level is relatively small. It seems like the guitar output was squashed even before hitting the pedal and the interface.
