    I can't see why not, but I ran it by Keith at BYOC for his input. His comment:

    "Yeah, sure. As long as the Pre amp input of the power amp is ok with an unbalanced signal with an impedance of <100k Ohms. Which it probably is. I can't promise that it will be a good pre amp. I don't see why it wouldn't, but he can certainly try it out. It's not going to blow anything up."

    Hi Guys......I went and ordered a BYOC Crown Jewel built by DVM. A quick review......Very, very nice pedal. Kind of a Swiss Army Knife pedal in that there are lots of combinations and so it's just a question of finding what suits your tone. Am very happy that I got the Electra booster.....a boost unlike anything I have in my arsenal, so that was fun. In point of fact, the Electra (a mildly gritty boost) really shines when you use it with some mild clipping. Back to the Swiss Army Knife comment.......it takes the place of probably 3-4 pedals and so if one is cramped pedal-board wise, it makes a great addition. The EQ is excellent and the Mids Q helps to get you into the mix if you are having difficulty in that area. Will see how it plays with the Mad Professor Simble Drive. Haven't tried it as a pre-amp yet, just enjoying a fabulous new pedal.
