(Before I go custom) Choose me a Line Driver

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.)

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?

Thank you! And, yes, for the FR800!

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.

Yes, i'm certainly curious and as soon as annoying bills stop appearing just at the wrong time, I will be taking the plunge!
