Is there anyway to setup your amp or modify it to get more of a boost from the PAB and also get a darker fatter tone

I think the Overtone has plenty of PAB;for most people it is too much.
Maybe a matter of the pickups and speakers?

PAB= preamp boost. it bypasses the tone controls for a boost

I think I found some info about this on the TAG forum...
Basically you have to replace the 22M PAB resistor with 4.7M and that will fatten things a bit but this will also lower the amount of your boost.

So I guess you will have to decide what you want more, boost or bass.

I often find the sound of the PAB to be boxy. What do you guys think? I realise the 3 switches have an influence on the sound of the PAB. Anything else I could try? (without a soldering iron).

Obviously there is a difference between PAB on and PAB off. I can't figure out what controls the difference in level though.

Well up to now, I have not used PAB as well... to boxy as you said. I guess it is usable with the OD ch boost if needed but with clean CH is just not working.
I think I will try that 4.7M resistor myself and see if this will make it more likable.

 Huh?

Of course, tone is very subjective but I really like it.  I think perhaps the fact that I am running both bright switches on the Klein and the one on the amp and have the treble 8-10 with my Lp for lead, it offsets the box aspect.  Anyway, I like it.  Sounds ballsy to me.
