Welcome to the family!
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the FRYETTE Power Station
®
!
You are constantly searching for new sounds and new ways to improve your existing sound. We understand
the constantly evolving nature of artistic creativity and the search for the perfect sound to complement
your ever-widening musical vision. Providing the tools to help you create your own sonic signature is our
primary mission.
Amplier attenuators have been around in various forms and congurations for decades and yet the most
common and aggravating shortcomings which plague every available attenuator regardless of cost remain:
1) Lack of transparency – All resistive type amplier attenuators negatively impact the tonal quality of
your amplier at some or all volume settings.
2) Limited controllability – Attenuators that use step type level select switches are typically di󰀩cult or
impossible to set to the exact volume you may be trying to achieve. Variable rheostat type attenuators
cause frequency losses and are often plagued by high contact resistance that can cause level dro-
pouts and may even damage your amplier output transformer.
3) Loss of dynamic amplier performance – All resistive attenuators interrupt the natural interaction
between the speaker and power tube stage of your amplier causing an articial, compressed
sound and sti󰀨 feel.
Enter the Fryette Power Station
®
– a new amplier attenuator and re-amplication solution, o󰀨ering
players intuitive and precise control over amplier volume, distortion behavior and a wide range of highly
rened tonal qualities previously unavailable from any single attenuating or re-amping product.
Built on decades of experience producing the nest 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 amplier and allows your amplier 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
amplier and speaker types. It also integrates seamlessly with any combination of internal and external
speaker congurations.
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 amplier. Imagine taking your mini-amp or small vintage combo to a gig and having
enough power to be heard without sacricing 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.
Getting familiar with the Power Station is easy, so don’t be terribly surprised when you nd yourself up
and running in no time. First-hand experience and real world application will yield the ultimate satisfaction
of nding your own path to comprehension and self-expression.
