Difference between PS1 and PS2 Volume levels

My buddy owns a PS1 to attenuate his 1970 Super Bass and when we get together I bring over my PS2 to attenuate my 1974 Super Bass..Looking at his PS1 he barely get the volume on the PS1 to 8 o’clock where on my PS2 to get to the level I need (on PS2 volume), I have to have my volume up to around 11 o’clock. I know they are different units but he questioned why mine wasn’t as sensitive regarding the volume knob. Now I am questioning if my PS2 isn’t functioning properly.

Please Advise if this is normal when comparing the two.
Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum! The PS-1 does not have the front panel input level switch like the PS-2A does. It could be as simple as switching to the other position on that switch. Please let me know if you’ve tried this? Thanks! Gil
