Shame I already paid for an fx loop mod in the amp
Boom.
I have one of those Fryette Power Station devices.
It is absolutely brilliant.
I use mine in different ways:
1) attenuate a class A 18W amp to bedroom levels
2) add an fx loop to my amp
3) record a valve amp quietly (and add IR's through software for sonic fun)
4) amplify baby amps
5) power modellers through it in a band
One of the most useful pieces of gear I've ever bought. I have a 2/50/2 so trusted it would be quality, had it checked out by a tech, it is great engineering, and it sounds great to me.
Honestly, great company for support too. Love it.
I'm in the Midlands, if you wanted to try it, or anyone else, you are most welcome to bring your amp(s) and guitar(s) before you decide if you like it. I think you would if you're considering it.
70k in pledges taken and no updates for over 4 months now, breaking kickstart rules.
They have since ignored all messages on the subject on forums and on their FB page.
A lot of really pissed off people who have given them money
My concern with them was the colouring of the tone with the low power output and 6l6 valves.
My Taco higher powered at gigs? What is this witchcraft.
However, where other attenuators or loads pass the attenuated signal to you'r speaker, the Fryette sends it to a flat response, clean (like a hifi) 5ow valve power stage, which has its own presence and depth rotory knobs (noon is flat).
This means you can have a 100w beast tamed to bedroom levels, or a 5w amp that can't keep up at gig levels boosted to that level.
You can use the line in as a pure mono power amp for pre amps, modellers, ipods, or even record decks. Add to that a really neutral fx loop, so you can add that loop to an amp without one such as the frieman buxom betty.
All this for £500. OK it's far eastern built but QC seems great as I haven't really been able to tell The difference between this and the us built 2/50/2 power amp I owned. Time will tell of course. But I couldn't be happier at present.
