Hi! I get that the PS-100 has 2 channels and one of those can be for a boost in DB’s. But, if I get the PS-2, can I put a DB boost (like an Xotic EP Boost) in the PS-2 FX loop for more volume or am I just distorting the PS-2 tubes / messing up the quality of the sound? AND, if it doesn’t doesn’t distort the tubes, does the PS-2 do its attenuation job and not allow a boost in DB’s? Does this make sense? Is there a way get a DB boost from the PS-2 or do I just get the PS-100? TY!!
Hello and welcome to the Fryette Forum! Yes, you can do that. That is a clever way of creating a volume boost with the PS-2A. As long as you are not maxing out the PS-2A’s internal power amp output, there should be plenty of headroom to allow for a signal boost without adding any significant clipping to the signal, again unless you have the output volume of the PS-2A near it’s maximum output level. Perhaps consider using a really clean booster such as the Xotic Super Sweet or Super Clean. Of course there are many good clean boost pedals available and any one of them should work just fine.
