Awesome.. but you were blowing out your recorder with lush plexi tones.. lol.. I have a PS2 also an almost killed my vintage Marshall Major 1970.. (had it modded to a SL cascading gain with split bias EL34 + KT88).. I had my PS2 on another amp and put it on my plexi but forgot my amp input load was set to 8 ohm.. OMG as i run the plexi at 16 ohm out and into 16 ohm cab.. holy heck it started to whistle and sound strange and just as i approached my amp to shut her down.. the indicator light went OUT.. luckily just blew the 10A fuse.. didnt have to fork out for a new output tranny.. HAVE TO MAKE sure those taps are correct folks ..!!
@@danvan8789 yeah.. I was playing around with another amp running 8 ohm into 16 cab to see if the drive was a bit different and forgot to switch it back.. luckily no harm.. only had it on a minute or so before the sequels started.. and when I went over to turn the amp off and the power light went out my heart sank.. but the fuse did it's job
Some big time producers leave it on 16 ohm all the time, with an 8 or even 4 ohm head. Sounds like they’re being lazy, but maybe it’s better than frying a vintage head
That little amps sounds GREAT! I just recently got the new 2 channel, 100 watt Powerstation and I LOVE IT too. Now not only can I actually get my 100 watters cooking in the zone they sound and feel best, I now haver an amazing FX loop with my old non-master Marshall's. I am as exited about that as I am the pure, transparent attenuation. I can't say enough how much of a game changer the Fryette Powerstation really is.
The effects loop on the fryette was a game changer for me. I have passed on a lot of older amps that didn't have an effects loop and being able to just add a loop with the ps-2 WITHOUT modding the amp...opened up all kinds of exciting new possibilities.
I’ve owned a lot of hand wired boutique 50 watt plexi clones, and I swear I like my sv20 better. Ac/DC, Led Zeppelin lives within the SV20, Mötley Crüe also lives in with a boost out front.
Awsome playing first of all, great video, I too have the same setup except mine is the black plexi. Was only using 5 watts in the basement but after I got the PS2, it was a game changer, now I can play in the middle of the night no problem. I want to say though that why are you getting so much noise though
Thanks for the video! I also just bought a Fryette PS-2a. I have a couple of questions, if you're so kind to help me. 1. When I turn the Fryette 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? do you experience the same behavior with your Fryette? Thanks a bunch!
@@internetselling This video was from an iPhone. My GoPro Vids sound better. But... Used a noise gate on a Line 6 Pod HD500x in the loop of the Freyette. Will do a video of that soon.
Apparently, If you sit on a stool in a hissing 🐍snake pit while scratching the bites on your legs and record with an iphone. You will get the best plexi sound of your life. 🤷♂Who Knew!
@@cbiltz75 I hear you. Bugs are no joke here in the SE as well. But no joke. Your tone is awesome. Love the SV20H. I'm hoping to get a PS-100 if or when they comeback in stock. Thanks for taking my comment in good fun. 👍
I went back and watched all you videos on this amp again, Chad....and I didn't notice it before... But, it's amazing how much that Fryette tightened up your tone. It sounded killer, but a just a bit loose in the other videos. Whatever you did made this amp really shine. Maybe being able to turn it up?? Or, possibly the guitar you're using (pups??). I'm going to go back and watch to see exactly what you did again. That tone is the THE Marshall tone right there. I was still bouncing between this and the mini 800, and I like the warmth of the plexi much better...especially, with the low-input, clean stuff.
That's one of the best sounding SV20's I've heard! Not flabby or harsh. Even before you got the power station it sounded great. Is the amp stock except for the pedals you use? You've got me wanting one! Kudos for "the way it is". Would love to hear you play "let it go" by DL.
@@cbiltz75 that's awesome Chad! I checked out your 38th anniversary/Halloween video.. That Plexi sits in the mix real nice :) great guitar playing as well. I really want the Plexi but have to "git rid of some to git some more" :)
@@cbiltz75 I have a white one, it's as good as a USA Jackson dinky but I like the neck so much more. I still find it funny G&L dropped the Climax for the Invader model, and for some reason the Climax guitars are an absolute steal used.
Great video and playing! Love the Tesla solo! I have an old 3-bolt G&L Legacy and a ASAT Classic semi-hollow. G&L guitars don't get the credit they deserve! I recently picked up a Marshall Origin 20 combo which sounds great but it's very loud. Do you think this would be a worthwhile investment to tame the new amp? Thank you for this video.
Lol the fade in and out with your voice when you play and stop is messing with my head lol. But thank you for the video, I just picked up a cab m+ and the power station is next on my list for using my half stacks at studio level. Lol in other words it sounds great but I have no idea what you are doing. Very mysterious 😵💫🤟🏻
@@willgo7898 I hear ya. My GoPro is way better. But ya know I really don’t care. I post whatever. If someone likes it cool. If they do not thats ok too.
I can't hear over the waterfall.
Thats all the noir if a cranked marshall without the cranked marshall

Oh man!!!
Just keep It at 16 ohms, then you won’t hurt your amps, even if you forget and connect an 8 ohm head

Sound advice from Dan Van above, supported by the ohms rule: "Low to high will fly, High to low, it will blow!"

The PS is amazing. Careful though, the PS will stain the top of your white tolex'd amp.
Too late 🤦♂️
Great review. Thank you so much.
The Fryette is the best .I use one with my amps or with my kemper stage best money I’ve ever spend on gear
Dang that sounds good!! May have to tweak my setup:)
It seems the Power Staion does not reduce the volume. At least I cannot hear a difference. So what is it good for?
It can go from whisper quiet to full 50 watt re-amped tube volume. I haven't done a video on it in a while. Maybe I will throw another one up. 👍🏻

Totally the iPhone’s fault. My other vids are GoPro and sound better 👍🏻
I love the compression slow rate recovery on this clip!. I have a Fryette Power Station and want a Plexi. Thank you for selling it to me even more.
Sounds great
Excellent tone...Exceptional

Jesus christ, that thing sounds amazing. I've been torn over what my new setup is gonna be, but I'm definitely sold on the Power station.
A lot of noise there wow
Yeah dumb iPhone. Starting to mic it instead.
Sounds great. That’s a lot of hiss, though. Sounds like a waterfall in the background while you are talking.
Will run a noise gate next time. I mean it is a cranked Marshall after all.
Noise gate for the win. Quiet as a whisper now 👍🏻
@@cbiltz75 Would like to ask where you placed the noise gate, which one did you use? Sounds good…

Is your leg OK?
I’m in the back of my barn. Mosquitoes were vicious!!!
Tesla solo in there I believe

Good speaker choice for that amp as well. Much better than the V-type!

I have been playing it out live. Its amazing!!!
That sounds awesome. Is that straight in ? Very close to evh.
What speakers are you playing through? sounds killer
EVH 2x12 with celestian g20h30’s
That's one of the best sounding SV20's I've heard! Not flabby or harsh. Even before you got the power station it sounded great.
Is the amp stock except for the pedals you use? You've got me wanting one!
Kudos for "the way it is". Would love to hear you play "let it go" by DL.
I swapped in JJ Gold Pin tubes but yeah stock. Check out my latest vid. Per request 🤘🏻
@@cbiltz75 I'm requesting it! :)
@@cbiltz75 what about "let it go" ;)
@@murphshall its up. Just a portion though 🤘🏻
@@cbiltz75 that's awesome Chad! I checked out your 38th anniversary/Halloween video.. That Plexi sits in the mix real nice :) great guitar playing as well. I really want the Plexi but have to "git rid of some to git some more" :)
wow. love it. sounds fantastic
so the delay and reverb are in the loop of the fryette not the marshall ? .
Correct 👍🏻
hey, what guitar is that you are playing?
That is a mid 90’s G&L Climax. Been my main guitar for 20 plus years. Haven’t even replaced the fretts on it. Great guitar!!!

@@lexluth1 It can tame it or make it a beast by making it 50 watts if you want!!!

Yeah the compression on the iPhone is brutal 😂 Will only use my gopro or start mic’ing it.
@@cbiltz75 lol, you can do it.
@@cbiltz75 ... nice guitar tone, but big fail on production quality. I'm getting fussy re what I'll put up with on YT
@@willgo7898 I hear ya. My GoPro is way better. But ya know I really don’t care. I post whatever. If someone likes it cool. If they do not thats ok too.
What 1x12 cab is that?
It is an EVH 2x12 with basically 30 watt greenbacks. Stock speakers. Amazing cabs for the price.
Thank you, it sounds amazing @@cbiltz75
Sounds awesome! How do you connect the Fryette with the amp?
Speaker out from amp to the Fryette. It has its own speaker out. Two actually 👍🏻
@@cbiltz75 - Thanks!
What is that horrible hiss?
A poor decision to use my iPhone instead of a GoPro.
