Default Acoustimax clipping indicator

I just acquired a BBE Acoustimax sonic maximizer pre-amp.

I plugged my guitar with the K&K mini pickup into it. The K&K is a pretty hot pickup but I can't get the gain clipping light to come on even when the gain is turned up to 10. Is this normal? I'm under the impression that you should play the guitar hard until it lights and then back it off some.

The instruction manual says nothing.
