Example control circuitry, data storage devices, and methods to use dual servo channels for burst gain switching are described. The data storage device may include two servo channels, such as the dual channels in a two-dimensional magnetic recording channel, that receive read signals for the same servo sector in parallel. One channel is calibrated to use a gain value for a first portion of the servo pattern, such as the preamble and Gray code for the servo address mark, and the other channel is calibrated to use a different gain value for a second portion of the servo pattern, such as the burst pattern. The resulting signal values may then be combined to determine the position error signal. Both channels may be configured to use different gain values for different portions of the read signal with corresponding gain switching and combining them may use the most reliable portions of each signal.
