This just blew my mind.

i'm running my triaxis into the power station. sounds fantastic!

THK you of’ the video! : in order to run my axe FX3 into my brand new Fryette PS2 line in, which kind of jack cable shall I use : an unbalanced instrument cable like for guitars or a Balanced one (trs) (the axe FX3 provides only one kind of jack output, which is unbalanced, otherwise it has a balanced xlr output, but the PS2 line in is at a jack format). Many thanks in advance, the PS2 is awesome !!!!

@@thieaoumus8372 you should probably consult the axe manual.

Thanks Joe. This was the final piece to my GP/DI & PS-1 puzzle. Had been going direct from the GP/DI since the day it came out and using PS-1 for my Aether. Bought a PS-2A for the GP/DI because of the balanced out, but was running into issues. This was all it took. That and Steve said it would work a couple of months ago....Now using PS-2A with my Sound City ML50 so I can mic the cab and go direct.

Great stuff. Really digging these. Very informative.

thanks guys, what a great hang

I wish this had been in the manual but thanks a lot - exactly what I needed to know. You don't need to answer my email anymore 😄

You could use this on a send from your recording session to add tube saturation to anything. This would kill for synths. Pretty neat routing setup.

Exactly right!

THIS !!! THIS is what i wanted to know ! Now I can go and buy it jajajaja Thank you !!!

Very cool! Thank you

Class is in session!

Doesn’t the GP/DI have a built in 1W power section and reactive load already or does the line out bypass that part of the circuit?

How do the front switches hi/lo and the engage switch (next to power) need to be set in these applications.

Could you please let me know if you could use the XLR line out instead of the 1/4 inch line out in this self-attenuation mode?

Thanks for the video! I just bought a PS-2A. I have a couple of questions, if you're so kind to help me. 1. When I turn the PS-2A on I can hear the fan making a "starting" noise, and then then fan is quite loud. 2. When my amp is off, and just the Fryette is on - I hear some background noise when I switch from bypass to operate. Are these things normal? Thanks a bunch!

WOOHOO

How can I take advantage of this when incorporating an amp switcher? I have a KHE 8 channel switcher and currently have an Ox Box in the attenuator loop for the KHE, but I have a PS-100 on order and planned to power my Synergy rack unit with it. Would I run the Synergy into the line-in on the Ps100 and the speaker out of the ps100 into one of the the 8 amp-inputs of the switcher?

Great video Joe! I am wondering how would I record my Twin Reverb with my pedal board in stereo? Do I need another PS? Thanks a lot.

@FryetteAmps

No need for a second PS. Assuming your pedal board is in front of the amp, send the PS Line Out to your DAW, use an IR plugin for the cab sound, and use your reverb and delay plug-ins to record in stereo.

What is the best way to set levels? Amp>PS-2A, Line Out>Interface When I use the PS-2A in silent record mode, my amp sounds distorted, using either of the line outs. However, I'm not clipping the interface/DAW. I have to turn my amp down so low to clean it up that the signal is too low to record. Any suggestions?

@poulwinther

Did you try using Line In on your interface instead of Instrument In?

Very cool. But after all is said and done, getting that extra power amp saturation basically sounded like engaging a Big Muff Pi.

I’m assuming this applies to the PS-100 as well. I just want to be certain before I make my final purchase decision

Probably answered here somewhere already, but I haven't come across it, so ill ask again...Can I run this cable set-up and simultaneously run a cable from the Fryette "Speaker Out 2" connection on into a traditional Speaker Cab? Essentially giving me 2 sources of sound from the Fryette at the same time (Line-out & Speaker Out 2). thanks

Yes, with the caveat that if you want to crank the Power Stations power amp stage, the added cab will get loud.

Can you use the out two to power a cab while doing this? Or is that not possible? Looking to access the voicing switches and volume control when plugged into cabs.

Is the signal sent to the cab attenuated aswell? I'd like the run a preamp into PS and have the PS attenuate it's own power amp while playing through a cab

Quick question if anyone can help......if I take this cable connection set-up just as was done here, can I slightly modify the final part, (the LineOut, to the interface/DAW part). Instead of running into an Interface/DAW, can I substitute the Interface and run into a Two Notes Opus IR Cab Sim instead, and then plug headphones into the Opus for silent practice? My set up would be... Guitar--->kingsley maiden/constable preamps---->fryette PS-2A---->Two Notes Opus Ir cab sim--->Headphones coming from Opus Thank you

@djabthrash

Yes you can plug the lineout of the PS to a Two Notes pedal that has the DynIR thing. Just adjust the in level of the opus accordingly.

What if i don't want to do silent recording but want to hear what i'm playing through my amps cabinet at the same time? How do you connect to the recording interface in this scenario?

@FryetteAmps

2 күн бұрын

Connect a cab to the second speaker out on a PS-2 or using a Y cable on the PS-100. You can still use the Line Out in that scenario.

Can you do this same setup with silent recording, but also run out of speaker 2 into a real speaker cab to monitor with now latency?

@@d.a.9933 hi, I'm also looking to run this set-up, and had the same query....so when you say the "Attenuator setting", are you referring to the attenuator setting on the Fryette? For example, I'm looking to run this "self-attenuation" cable set-up, and also run a cable from "Speaker Out 2" into a 16ohm Greenback speaker cab....do I set both ohm settings on the Fryette at 16ohm? Thanks

So in theory...say using a UAD Apollo with an AMP Sim in the Unison slot. Could I use the preamp of the sim, bypass the sim power section, and specify no cab , line out that signal to the PS100 line in, and follow the rest of your example? Ok not sure why I would do that other than to play around and see what an AMP sim sounds like using this technique. Some of the UDA plugins give you the ability to bypass the power section.

@FryetteAmps

Yes, you can do that if you can defeat the cab and PS sims as you suggested.

Not sure if I get it right but isn’t the amp in of PS supposed to output through speaker out? Even if I plug in the line out the signal should still go to the speaker out, no?

@@FryetteAmps I’ve re-read the manual and am still a bit confused. If I plug in to the amp in from my amp I’m hitting the reactive load and then if the unit is on the signal goes to its power section, if not I still get the load and can safely output the line signal. If I plug something into the line in it goes directly to the power section (unless the unit is turned off). Now if I have both the line in and the amp in signal how come the amp in signal does not get looped through the power section? Does the line in signal prevent the amp in signal (which still gets the load) from hitting the power section?

You rarely have bone dry cleans in a final mix (and even during tracking), and even with slight reverb here you hear the impact of power amp level differences on the overall guitar tone just as well.
