    Can Pathos Kratos Integrated Amp. work like a pre-pro with pre-pro switch?

    Hope this message finds you all healthy and happy.

    I have a quick question that nobody is able to help with. I tried calling Upscale Audio who is a sole dealer of Pathos in US. But didn't get the answer I was looking for.

    The amp has a switch in the back that allows it to work as an integrated amp or as a pre-pro. I wanted to inject Rives Parametric EQ into the signal chain.

    I am suspecting that setting the switch to pre-pro will allow me to loop the pre-amp section to power-amp, as it should.

    Has anyone have any experience or know a friend that owns the amp that can help clarify this question?

    Thanks in advance

    Curious if you have tried contacting the manufacturer?

    I tried sending an email last week but didn't receive any response.

    Also tried calling the main number in Itay. Is there a trick to calling there from US other than adding the area code like +39?

    Simply Stereo in Palatine IL might be able to help. I know they have Pathos gear there.

    You should definitely confirm with Pathos or a dealer of theirs, but it appears that you could connect the Rives EQ between the XLR pre-outputs and the XLR power-inputs with the switch set accordingly.

    Thank you Bill!

    Got the confirmation from the dealer that I can connect the PEQ.
