Presenting the Fryette PS-2A Power Station Version II Reactive load with 50w Re-amp.
Meet the Fryette Power Station®, What your attenuator wants to be when it grows up!
The Fryette Power Station 2 Integrated Reactance Tube Amplifier is an easy to use Power Attenuator for controlling the volume of high-powered amplifiers with none of the drawbacks of a conventional attenuator, and a 50-watt Vacuum Tube Power Booster (Dual 6L6) that can turn any mini-amp, preamp, pedal, modeling amp or modeling app into a gig-ready amplifier!
Now more versatile and easy to use than ever, the updated PS-2A sports a rear panel line output level control.
The Power Station not only solves all of those problems, but also provides you with more sonic options in one convenient, lightweight package:
- Perfectly preserves the tone of the attenuated amplifier at any volume setting down to whisper level.
- Preserves the dynamic feel and speaker response at any volume.
- Your speaker cabinet “sees” a tube amp and real output transformer (unlike resistive or solid-state attenuators) which maintains natural speaker behavior.
- Provides a post-distortion integrated effects loop.
- Provides an XLR balanced and a 1/4” unbalanced line out for direct recording or live performance signal processing.
- Choose 2/4, 8 or 16 ohms separately for both the amplifier and cabinet matching. No more nerve-wracking impedance mis-matching that could damage your amplifier.
- Compact and easy to carry, the Power Station sits comfortably on top of an amp head, combo or desktop.
- Completely safe for any tube amplifier.
- Crank a mini tube amp to the threshold of destruction, then adjust the Power Station to preserve the original tone or create an entirely new identity for it.
- Perfect as mono power amplifier for guitar preamps, floor preamps and modeling preamps.
- Ideal as an effects power amp for a Wet/Dry amp rig or a monitor power amp for live modeling direct to FOH.
- Great as a desktop power amp for adding tube power to direct recordings for any instrument or signal source.
- Protect your delicate vintage mics by keeping speaker cabinet volume low in the studio.
- No A/D/A conversion, therefore NO latency.
Silent Mode
The Silent Mode feature provides a versatile reactive load for silent recording using low or high-powered tube amplifiers. In Silent Mode, the Balanced XLR Out and Unbalanced Line Out remain operational even with the AC power disconnected. Note: Unit should remain under power when used with high-powered amplifiers to maintain safe operating temperatures.
The Power Station provides a variety of performing and recording solutions for every kind of playing or performing application/environment.
The Power Station breathes new life and functionality into any amp large or small.
