It seems like you get distortion IN the mixer (check with earphones 
plugged into MD).
Well, if you like it, then you should try a dedicated overdrive unit 
and not stress that much your mixer :-)
Are you sure that levels are set correctly? gain? any feedback?

Or you could be overdriving the MD outputs, but I don't think that's 
easy.
