Yes, but an MXR Dynacomp in-line to the second channel will invert the
phase. With an A/B/Y box that gives the Pro Reverb (and most older
blackface amps) very flexible tone.

I go into the ABY with my guitar and send the straight signal to the
Vibrato channel with the tone controls set a little bright. The
compressed and slightly boosted signal goes to the “normal” channel
with the tone set a little dark. The contrast is very nice and the
boosted/compressed tone is very nice.

> Does that apply to all two channel blackface Fender reverb amps?

I think so but I’d have to check the schematics on all of ’em to be
sure.

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
