I would like to fit a simple clipping detector to my power amp.
Each channel has a seperate DC power supply, which is single rail.
I'm looking for a decent, low parts count circuit that i can retrofit easily.
The internet is full of examples, but each circuit I have come across has people saying it is ok, and others saying it doesnt do the job properly ...
A secondary aim is to figure out whether I picked the wrong transformer when I originally built the amp. I know I am on the lower end of what the boards can handle.

Here is an example (the part of the schematic at the extreme right):
♫♪ My little cheap Circlophone© ♫♪
It will automatically adapt to the supply rails (U2 can be your LED, or you can keep the opto if you want to interface with a µC)
