Dood Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm just looking to find out if there is a Boss/Mxr sized pedal out there that can drive the signal from instrument level to line level with a master volume (and maybe a parallel out) to enable running a few effects straight in to an active cabinet? I know that SFX already has a design for something that would be perfect yet a little on the large size, but I was wondering what might be available on the second hand market, being as I am about to be wiped out by car bills. Options: Simple line booster with input, level, output and parallel out. Stereo version of above As above with three band EQ As above with separate levels for DI output and 1/4" output (Which is the SFX model, no EQ) Any thoughts? Of the 'preamp' pedals out there, which will definitely drive a power amp *properly*? (I know I'll have to look at input sensitivity on the active cabinet and output levels attainable from the pedal, but wondered if there were a device already out there that guaranteed an 'all encompassing' output level.)

Jack Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I have been doing a lot of research into the GK Plex. The 1/4" on that is balanced and really hot for driving their powered cabinets. Might be worth a look? Is this for a FR800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Thought as much. I'm looking at moving to a pedal board centred around the GK as my rig and then a FR800 for the odd time I need backline. Would be really curious to see how it works out for you.
