Reexamining Your Old Amps with the Power Station!
Ойын-сауық
Turns out the Power Station can be a transformative tool for rediscovering previously forgotten or otherwise unexplored tonal capabilities in the amps that we already own. Joe goes down the rabbit hole here with an older amp from his own personal stash...

The Fryette Power Station® - a new amplifier attenuator and re-amplification solution, offering players intuitive and precise control over amplifier volume, distortion behavior and a wide range of highly refined tonal qualities previously unavailable from any single attenuating or re-amping product.
Built on decades of experience producing the finest all-tube power amps available, the Power Station is a practical and highly functional tool that solves problems frequently encountered in live playing and recording environments. It beautifully accentuates the inherent qualities of any amplifier and allows your amplifier to breathe and dynamically respond to your playing technique the way a great guitar amp should. The Power Station is designed to be transparent, user friendly, reliable and ultra-responsive to a wide array of guitar amplifier and speaker types. It also integrates seamlessly with any combination of internal and external speaker configurations.
The Power Station also excels as a power booster, something that no other attenuator can do. Just as you would connect a big amp to reduce output volume, the Power Station can also be used to boost the output of a small amplifier. Imagine taking your mini-amp or small vintage combo to a gig and having enough power to be heard without sacrificing feel and tonal quality. It is not only possible, but easy and fun!
Finally, your Power Station functions as a versatile silent reactive load for direct recording by simply connecting the Balanced or Unbalanced Line out to your recording interface.

The best attenuation & reamping device out there and when taking sound quality into consideration, the competition isn't even in the same zip code. The best of the best
My PS2 is probably the single most important piece of gear I have ever purchased.
love that song at the beginning
I played a gig last weekend with my new PS100 with my SmallBox 50 and got a lot of compliments about how my tone sounded good before but so much better with the Power Station
Great playing, man!
Great video, I love my power station and I've done similar experiments with my mark 4. Should've tried diming the channel volume on the clean channel as well, I've found ridiculous amounts of gain opening everything up. But then I'm also running 6v6s.
this was cool! thx!
What a great tool for tone modification to access usable sonic qualities!
Great video
I took delivery of a Fryette Power Station PS2A from Thomann yesterday (Bax Music could not supply) and the transformative effect on my 25 Watt Speedster Deluxe amp is little short of staggering! I'm not quite sure why but the the background 'hum and pop' noises from the amp (cooking breakfast as one of my friends calls it) is dramatically reduced! Could this be because of ground lift? In any case, thankyou for your guidance on this, I am delighted with the result. I'm getting much full and richer clean tones from the amp below 85db tan I ever could with the amp alone. My wife and daughter are also happy; what is rare is wonderful!
I have an EVH 5150III and an 87 Marshall Jubilee 100 watt head….I have noticed when I use my EVH with the PS-100,the power section really adds nothing to the sound….nothing good anyway…after you get over halfway in the volume,it just starts mushing out…..the Jubilee on the other hand,really starts to come alive at high volume settings….I know those two amps are eggs and chocolate,which I suppose makes sense,the EVH gets all its tone from the preamp…..the EVH on 7 is not a good sound…..Just thought it was interesting….the PS is cool in that you can do this stuff without killing the neighbors cat….

Super cool that you've already been chasing this stuff down on your own. It really does make you want to pull out everything you have and take another look...

@@JoeGambleGuitar I got my Power Station about 6 months ago…so I have literally been blowing the dust off my amps since then…it’s a great tool…
I noticed you took the top handle off the Boogie so the PS would sit on top without tilting. Thought no one would notice?

Well, if there was any doubt that people pay attention to details, you took care of that :) By the way, we have a new taller foot coming available next month.
I’m using a PS2 with a hand wired JTM45 running into a 2x12 loaded with 16 ohm G12 H 30s ( vintage with pulsonic cones). The cab is wired for 8 ohms but I prefer the feel of 6 ohm amp output. I have the option to Run form 16 ohm amp output to PS2a and set the PS output to 8 ohm. But can I wire each speaker to its own Jack and then run from 16 ohm amp to PS2, use the 2 speaker outputs at 16 ohm for each speaker? Thanks
Would the Fryette power station be the right unit to amplify a Synergy SYN1 preamp unit, amongst the other things it does? I realize there is already a poweramp (SYN 50-50) for this but is there any benefit from using the power station? Thanks!
Will you post a video of the power station attenuating a two-ninety-two. Thanks.

Now that's an interesting idea!
Is it accurate to say the fx loop on the PS100 only works when you run out to speaker as opposed to line out for direct recording?

Correct.
Maybe I overlooked this in the video, but how is the Mk4 connected to the PS in this setup?

Just running out of the 8 ohm speaker out of the Mesa into the Amp In of the PS, then taking the speaker out of the PS back to the cab of the MK IV. Everything is at 8 ohms.
When using the PS for amplification and FXLoop where should I come out of the preamp of the combo in this case ?

If the preamp out of your combo is an FX Send, connect that to the PS Line In.

@@FryetteAmps thank you, I meant if my amp doesn’t t have an FXLoop and I want to add the one in the PS-2…how would that go?
Hello, I´m interested in getting the PS2 but now I´ve just seen on your page there is already a PS2A version available where the in- and outputs can be finetuned, but I´m not able to find it on the German market (yet). Will it be available here as well? Thanks!
