The only real thing I'm hesitant on is how well the volume actually tapers on the power amp. Say I load my Mark IV into it, crank it up a bit to get the power amp cooking and then send the PS-2 to my cab - how well can I actually control the volume?
Fairly well but it still is a 50W tube amp. Neighbor friendly volumes are always achievable but 'someone sleeping in the same apartment' -volumes can be a challenge. Depends on the situation and setup. for that extra attenuation I sometimes run sort of a master volume in the loop of the PS-2. I use a parametric rack EQ. Also great for hi pass filtering etc. Depends on the amp and cab. Speaker sensitivity might be an important factor.
