Now more versatile and easy to use than ever, the new Fryette PS2 Power Stationsports a front panel Input Level sensitivity switch, a rear panel Low Pass Filter Bypass switch, and a Balanced XLR Line Output.
The Integrated Reactance Amplifier is an easy to use, tunable reactive load coupled to a vacuum tube power amplifier that fine tunes your amplifier response which then drives your speaker cabinet.
If you have ever used a resistive or inductive attenuator, you have already experienced the loss of tone and dynamics of your amplifier at various volume settings. You are already frustrated with the typical 3 dB step switch that always seems one step too loud or one step too quiet. If you've used a solid state powered attenuator, you've already experienced the flat speaker cab response and finicky effects loop function that never seems to be the perfect level.
The Power Station solve all of those problems in one convenient, lightweight product that sits neatly on top of any head or combo amplifier.
An attenuator for controlling the volume of high powered amplifiers with none of the drawbacks of a conventional attenuator.
A power booster for low powered amps.
A high quality adjustable reactive load for silent recording.

Great piece of gear. Lot’s of power, lot’s of clean (but tube-clean) headroom for use with modelers.
Absolutely love my Power Station!!
Stevie Fryette got this unit right. Load is great with the switches and the amp rocks.
A fair price and was shipped securely and fast!
I have not even used all the features yet, such as the balanced XLR out or the effects loop. But I will say, this device is a total game changer for me. I can now use any amp that I want, regardless of the power output, and I can get the complete tube saturation for that quality tone without my ears bleeding. I mostly record guitars, and not play out live, but if I did play live this would be a great box for that, too. Of course, it is a great box to record when the room isn't quite the size of a Pro Studio. So far I have used it with FTR 37 from Divided by 13. I look forward to using it with my Fender Vibrolux Reverb, and whatever other amps that enter my studio.
I do see a couple downsides to this box, which are very minor at that.
1. The guitar amp does lose a tiny bit of highs. However, this can easily be remedied by the presence knob and bright switch, not to mention the highs on the actual amplifier head. And as we all know, just a slight change of a microphone and/or position would also easily remedy that. Additionally, since you are not turning the cab up at the same volume, you will lose the natural driver break up. But again, I think it's a relatively small price to pay if the sound could be that close and your ears be happy.
2. The the size of this box could be a little awkward, if the surface you are setting it on is shallow. For example, the /13 has shallow head can therefore the feet on this box barely rest on the head, which does not present itself well for a stable set up. And it's one of those things where, you don't usually want a table next to your guitar amp when your recording oh, so then I resort to setting it on the ground. Again, maybe on some amps it would not be such a problem. However, knowing the size of my Fender, it will definitely be an issue on that amp as well. The feet are 6-7/16 inside edge to inside edge, and 7-9/16 center to center.
That being said, it's a really great product and I would certainly recommend it.
