Hi... Having just tried going directly from my pedalboard to one side of the power amp, I discovered that it works without a preamp. I got to thinking about it and the 50/50 does have preamp tubes that I assume would accept Hi-Z and line-level signals. So my question would be... after the Hi-Z signal at the start of my largish pedalboard works its way through signal boasts and line-level conversions on the way to the power amp, would it be logical to think that the signal is just fine at the power amp input jack?
I guess though (in the end) that the quality of the signal would not have the benefits of tone shaping that a preamp offers. So ideally, running a line out of an amplifier's head to the power amp input is still probably the way to go. Or maybe use an IR pedal?
Does anyone have a comment or experience with this?
