initial impressions
I've had the PAS2 put together for a couple of weeks now, and I've been playing through/with it extensively, just about every day. My setup is always the same, and rather limited: my Squier Mini-Strat (tuned to F#), through the PAS2, and into my slightly-modified Fender Champ. No effects: I do have my SPX-90 which I want to try out, but not enough patch cables, waiting on Amazon! So it's good for testing, actually, a very consistent system and pure dry tones. The sound is that same PAS2 tone which I remember from years back, before I had so much "professional" guitar gear. And it is amazing! Totally unique. Rather limited and flawed in a number of ways, too, it must be said. But still, very usable: and able to extend the tone of the guitar into voices it never had before. I should mention that I don't have either the "loudness" switches, or the PC-6 EQ switches, hooked up. Don't have the component values available. So, all I have are...
