Manufacturer's Description

The Fryette Power Station PS-2A 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!

If you have ever used a traditional Power Attenuator, you have already experienced the loss of tone and dynamics of your amplifier at various volume settings, and the frustration with the rotary level switch that always seems one step too loud or one step too quiet.

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.
• our 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.

A Powerful Re-Amping Tool
As a re-amper, the Power Station breathes new life and utility into your favorite gear. Now any small amp, preamp or modeler can cut a live gig with a full band.

• 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.
