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.

Fryette power amps are arguably the best money can buy, and paramount for anyone who fancies the rack domain. Doing preproduction work for a guitarist using an LX II and this thing is gorgeous.

My Power Station works great in my W/D/W rig. It allows me to control the volume of the amp, feed the D cab, and then with the effects send feed the input of a stereo parallel mixer where I have my stereo effects.

A good and easy way to understand how to set-up the signal chain to create the wet -dry-wet sound!

Thank you. I use my PS2 as an attenuator and use the Line Output to feed timebased effects and the send from those go to a Rack Stereo Amp into two 1X12". The main amp powers a 2X12" centre Dry cab. I can switch the main amp. I had some earth loop issues but introduced an audio isolation transformer which helps. I am still working on this system as it is great but too many projects going at the same time (as always), it is work in progress.

@@joshuasimonson7656 Line level into your return input device. I use a H90 at this point so similar. I have to add that you probably run into earth loop issues at this point. I got round that by using a car audio ground loop isolator and rewiring it for 1/4" jack plugs. Much less expensive than paying for an off the shelf Isolator.

@@joshuasimonson7656 Sorry, didn't mean to confuse. Whatever device the line out from the Power Station connects to is your return. Line Level.

In my setup, I have the FX send of the Powerstation going into one of those new Boss EVH sde3000 delays, and the dry center out from that going back to the Powerstation FX return, and then the left and right wet outputs of the delay going to the inputs of my wet amps (not attenuated).

Looks like I’m circling back to this almost a year later haha… question: if connecting the Power Station to use as a Wet/Dry/Wet rig - there anyway to mute the dry cab, but still allow the line out to still be active? I want the ability to switch between W/D/W to only using the wet amps in stereo. If possible… I understand if I want to go from W/D/W to only Dry, I can put a stereo volume pedal in front of all my Wet pedals.

I never knew that’s what this is called. I have 2 Mesa 4x12s. I run a dry Diezel into the inner pair of speakers on the left cab, and a Mesa Dual Rectifier to the inner pair of speakers on the right cab. The Diezel effect send goes to a rack-mounted stereo effects unit, which pipes the effects back to a Mesa Simul-Class 2:90 stereo power amp. You “get it all” with only 2 cabs. As long as you don’t blow up your speakers, and let the power amp do some of the work of projecting the main tone. The Dual Rectifier is setup essentially be an “overdrive,” with the channel selector. You keep all the tight Diezel tone, but can add fizz and girth to flavour, without creating all kinds of side-effects in the stereo effects and power amp chain, ie the levels stay fairly consistent, but it grows hair. You always have the option to stomp a pedal as long as both amps are dialed in to receive an overdrive. It’s impossibly good. Anymore, in my new apartment, I can’t even use one half of a cab without getting a noise complaint inside 30 seconds of use, so I guess I need 4 Power Stations… Yes.

These Fryette Power Stations are never in stock on the Fryette website. If it ever comes back to stock, is there an option to order 220V version?

I really hope my Synergy 5050 doesn’t have a stereo separation problem… never really thought about it until watching this video. I would think a synergy 5050 would be a good candidate for two wet cabs?

No worries .Steve designed that as well so you can be sure it's got good stereo separation.
