As the topic says - can I use the PS-2A to “add” an effects loop to a ´68 Marshall plexi?
Hi and welcome to the community @tWreCK
Yes, you can use the Fryette Power Station PS-2A to effectively “add” an effects loop to your '68 Marshall Plexi. Here’s how:
The PS-2A has a built-in effects loop, and it functions as a re-amplifier. By connecting your Marshall Plexi to the Amp In of the PS-2A, the PS-2A will take the output from your Plexi and re-amplify it, allowing you to insert effects in the signal chain before the power stage of the PS-2A. This setup enables you to run effects like delay, reverb, and modulation, which traditionally don’t work well in front of a Plexi because it lacks an effects loop.
Here’s a basic connection flow:
- Amp In: Connect the speaker output of your Plexi to the Amp In of the PS-2A.
- Effects Loop: Connect your effects to the PS-2A’s FX Send and FX Return.
- Speaker Out: Connect the Speaker Out of the PS-2A to your cabinet.
In this configuration, the PS-2A acts as a power amp for your Plexi, with the added benefit of an effects loop in the signal chain.
