    I watched this a couple of weeks ago and on the strength of it have purchased one. I was at the point of saying goodbye to a fair few valve heads that in all honesty were collecting dust. The review is really accurate and I just want to say that Your reviews are in my opinion amongst the best out there. You can certainly play but somehow you never let your abilities get in the way of a solid review. It's good to be able to trust a reviewer that demonstrates what a piece of equipment does well allowing viewers to make informed choices. Thank you.

    I had a 1971 Marshall 100 watt super-lead w 4x12 original greenbacks. Completely unusable for gigs. Loudest amp on the planet! But when I was able to crank it up in the basement, it was GLORIOUS! This Freyette would have come in handy.

    Great demo Pete. I'm a newcomer to amp loading, IR's, and all the rest of the ways to get my amp collection at more manageable volumes. If anyone hasn't seen your IR video, they should watch it. The last year has had me thinking of different ways to work, and silent stage has come up. I have taken some of the things I've learned about IR's, reamping and loading (mostly from you) to hopefully applying these technologies to broaden the scope of what I'm able to offer a potential bandleader. Thanks for all the help. By the way, Steve builds this stuff military-grade. All the Fryette solutions are awesome.

    I have to say that not having to run delays and reverbs into the front of vintage, reissues or any amp without an integrated effects loop is almost worth the price alone. It goes 1 better than a typical loop, running delay and reverb post power amp so the effects are working on the entire amp instead of just the Preamp.
    When you're running through typical IR cab emulators, you're getting the sound of your amp being mic'd, this is essentially the sound of just your amp.

With the information provided in this review the PS100 looks exactly what I need. Can't find any in stock at the moment but understand they will be available in a month or two. I can't wait to hear my old amps again.

  • @marxug1

    Great demo! And your volume-matching gives us the chance to isolate what effect speaker drive has on the sound - a bit of thickening, a slight rolling off of the pick-attack-slice. Must say, I’m a fan of the attenuated & re-amped (with tubes!) sound.

    Superb demo as always Pete! From what I can tell from the Zep piece, it seems to preserve cleans when attenuated way down which other attenuators don't seem to do well if at all. I'm stuck in a townhouse and want to get this to not only get my Carr Slant 6V distorted tones, but also at least some of the great cleans at low volumes the amp produces. Seems this may do the trick!

Because of ur demo not only can i play it but i can use the loop on PS100 for a better delay and ..... w 2 channels i wont have to depress an EQ pedal to go from rythm to lead !!! And i wont have to fight w sound guys about volume !

  • @JIMJAMSC

    The reason I bought the very limited YJM100 was because of the built in attenuator it had. I can get that warmth, sizzle and sag without stuff falling off walls or the blue lights show up. For my lower watt amps I use the Z Amp brake lite. So yeah it is cool to say your "bedroom" amp is a 100 watt Marshall.

  • @andrewclifton429
    @andrewclifton429 3 роки тому +6

    This is a great review for professional players - and if I had the budget, I'd definitely consider the PS100. For my own amateur home-practice purposes, the JHS Little Black Amp Box attenuator gives me gorgeous tube-amp tones at low volume - and it's only $45 (or £45, in the UK).

  • @timwhite5562
    @timwhite5562 3 роки тому +4

    I still have the first generation power station, and IT was the best piece of sound reinforcement gear I've purchased. The "attenuation," 50W 6L6 power amp (mine isn't 100?) Alone meant both My higher power and lower power amps get WAY more use than before. The series effects loop that can be used with Fender and older Marshall or any other amps that don't have loops just kills it.
    I used to have a 20W and 50W Dumble clones that i could use anywhere i wanted together in stereo; if i need more power i could put the 20W through up to 50, and if i needed to go the other way i could. Eventually i started using an Ethos overdrive Preamp with another clone, the 20W was definitely lighter than the 50, but it was by no means light.

  • @bbbro34
    @bbbro34 3 роки тому +1

    Sweet, PS are really nice. I bought a Superlead a few years back and you kind of sold me on the RockCrusher, got it used for $300 which was a steal...I found a sweet deal on a used simple one, no EQ, but you did a video in like 2014 with an RC EQ version that I used for reference when I was thinking about getting it. It's beautiful, handles a 100 watt Marshall mic'd very nicely. Throw a mic on it and no one would know the difference, I some times have to pop the headphones off to make sure I'm not really too loud. Meaty and great for recording while keeping my windows intact and neighbors not hating me, but still getting that Plexi tone with no real audible anomalies or weirdness. It's freaking awesome. Attenuators are kind of a must for a NMV amp if one really wants that tone. But they work great on MV amps too if you want to get that gain from the power section.

  • @ondrejholiencin8555
    @ondrejholiencin8555 3 роки тому +1

    Great video and I agree wholeheartedly about the load + reamp sound. In my experience, even the most budget load box+class D power amp combo beats expensive attenuators for low volume performance. Of course, the Fryette Power Station takes that concept to whole another level.

Its a great attenuator and the line out works great as well. It has Sovtek 6550 Power tubes

    I have a wet/ dry rig for live going through my Gigrig
    Ive been using my friedman as my wet amp
    And my Vibralux as my dry even though the fender has more head room it doesn’t have a loop
    So now i’m gonna use the freedman for dry and the Vibralux for wet with the ps100 for the fx loop
    I know this is long winded but your comment about not using the effects loop in amp and using it in the Power Station really hit home this time I don’t know how I missed that when you said that I’ve watch this video like six times

    For anyone considering getting one of these, remember that as Pete's clips shows, it sounds the same when you match the volume in the DAW for the recorded clip, but in person the lower the volume the more our perception of that sound changes. Fletcher-Munson curve and all. So don't expect it will sound and feel like a loud amp at stage volume when turned down to bedroom volume because you will be missing the speakers running in their intended range and the guitar interacting with the speakers.
    It's still a great unit to own if you have a favorite amp that is too loud. It also makes an excellent poweramp for digital modelers via the line input.

    • @Tonetwisters

      Thing about speakers is ... they are designed to move air. That is their primary function. So if a speaker is not moving the air that it is built to move, there will be a tonal and a presence change and a perceived lack of impact or "push" which we have become accustomed to "feeling."

All my time base effects are in the loop except the Vibe Machine which I think sounds better in from of the amp. Mainly this thing sounds great at lower volumes that my neighbors can handle, And Pete is right, you still feel very connected to the amp while playing unless you turn down SUPER SUPER low.

Like an amp recorded at bedroom levels without any attenuator in the chain, and that same amp attenuated to the same bedroom levels with that power tube saturation maxed out.

    That attenuator really does sound great.
    Lots of folks still think wattage has to do with volume. Easiest way I've come across to think about it is that the average 5 watt tube amp is still as loud as a trumpet. Why? Guitar speakers are loud. More wattage equals more headroom and tighter, fuller bass on tap.

    Thank you very very much for this immense review 🙏🙏🙏
    It would be perfect in stereo (with a stereo FX-loop of course)!
    Have you tried the Boss Waza?

    I can now use my laney lionheart 5 watter with my fane alnico 100 in the old tone ring cab! And to have that glorious post power stage loop for time based fx, the universe just expanded! And get authoritative volumes for the cleans. Yes! This one product is monumental.

    I purchased a Bugera Power Soak that works for lowering volume but changes tone dramatically.I can’t use it for recordings.Ok for noodling.Just ordered PS100 and looking for better results.You get what you pay for.lol.Thanks for great demo.

    In the Zeppelin test, I actually think I like the sound of the re-amp more. It has a juicy chunk to it, whereas the original signal has a mid-range bark which would be easy enough to eq in somewhere if you prefer that sound. Great examples of how the unit sounds.

    It's cool that a badass player is a genuinely cool person. Pete is one of those people that if you don't like him, you probably got some shit to work on lol. Great review man...

    Hello Pete,
    As a cost effective alternative, I've been looking at a used THD. I have staying clear of the Scholz product because I know from experience, the resistors do not age well and will develop heat stress cracks over time. I'm just looking for something that is not total crap, that I can use to just putz around in my basement, maybe mic it for demos,
    I have been looking for an attenuator. In the 80s I used the Tom Scholz Power Soak with a JCM 800 100w (2203) and it served my purposes for jamming in my dorm room on Eglin AFB. While I am much better off today than I was 40 years ago in the military on a salary of $500 a month, I cannot justify the cost of a Fryette. Your demo makes the thing look awesome. Alas, I think I would be single again if "you know who" ever figured out how much I spent.

    Owning 100W Marshalls at home is now possible. I wouldn't have picked up a JTM45/100 in recent times if it wasn't for my Power Station.

    Hey Pete great video as always !!
    First time chiming in. Do you know if using an attenuator can damage the amp internals ? I read some threads having different opinions.

    Hey Pete. Excellent demo! What IR plug-in would you recommend to record direct out from the Power Station? Thanks.
