Modulation pedals after the Particle Accelerator

I've been using the Particle Accelerator as my pre-amp, sending to a class D power section.

I have my dirt pedals before the PA, and was planning on putting the modulations/delays after the PA. Is the output of the PA high enough to fry any pedals doing this? If so, are there any recommended fx loops circuits I could use?

Thanks
 
Welcome to PedalPCB and glad to hear you're enjoying the PA! Mine is almost always on.

I have lots of pedals I've used after my PA with no problems. It is relatively easy to set the PA to unity by lowering the volume as you increase the gain. I usually set my PA to give a slight overall boost when engaged so I get the tube dynamics and tone stack impact without over-driving my pedals down the signal chain (unless that's what I want 😎).
 
The output of Particle Accelerator is hot but in the grand scheme of things it's a high-impedance (38k or so) output so it won't be frying anything, but you will need to keep the volume of PA down so you aren't clipping the input of the next pedal in the chain, because as I'm sure you know, PA is loud.
