Ok, time for what may not be a crazy question. One of my favorite setups that never gets moved is a Fender PA 135 into a Large Peavey tweed cab with a 15" Eminence ESP speaker.

I also have a Fender PA 100 and a Sarno Tonic preamp and wondered if the PA100 could be tapped into so I could bypass the Fender preamp and use the Tonic?

Could be an interesting project?

Tap right before the phase inverter called an interrupt loop. or before the Master pot.

Looking at the reverb pedal jack you could use that to insert the Sarno preamp signal.

Thanks for the info and I am excited about this project. The Tonic preamp sounds wonderful and to have a four 6L6 power section with the Tonic should be sweet.

I talked to my amp tech and he is going to configure the Fender PA100 to accept the Tonic preamp or I could use the PA100 by itself.

I am basically going to have a Tonic preamp with a Twin power section. Pretty cool!

Cool.

Your tech could have Ch1 stock, Ch2&3 different preamp circuits maybe tweed bass type and/or Ampeg, and Ch4 padded down to accept the Sarno so you can use the reverb.
