That sounds so good! I always regretted not getting the 2203 kit for the short time they offered it. I had built my 1959 earlier and it turned out great but wasn't sure about spending another grand and then poof, they stopped doing kits.

This particular one was one of the ones you could purchase and the shop would build it for you, built in 2010. The insides are meticulous and it is a very special amp indeed.skoora":155tyujb said:

Yeah, that deal is unfortunate. Hate to see a highly respected company that has put out such great products go through something like that. Hopefully they are concentrating on setting that situation straight.
I just picked up a 77 2204. It sounds really great for this kind of amp at house volumes. But I'm dying to work those power tubes. Just not feasible in my lil music room. Plus, my Fender Bassman sitting next to the Marshall looooves to be cranked. That's the sound of rock n roll right there. I may breakdown and grab a PS. Someone needs to buy my PV 6505 first.

Love the tone. How does this amp compare to a Marshall JCM 800 2203? Also can you explain the main usage of the Fryett in this configuration? Is it solely to crank the main volume of the amp up to get the full tone while attenuating the overall volume to an acceptable level?

This amp is like a very good 2203, built in Georg Metropoulos shop five years ago when they offered this as a product. At the time they sold the parts for the amp as kits to build yourself or they for a limited time would build them for you...I bought it used 5 months ago and it is one of the very best amps I've owned. Using the Fryette PS to attenuate to levels that won't cause you to go deaf but still fairly loud in the basement although it is convincing even set at lower volumes. Master volume on the amp is nearly dimed at 4 oclock and pre gain set at 2 oclock so the amp is cooking and getting a ton more overdrive from cranking the master and getting the power tubes to contribute. Awesome attenuator!

Yeah I'm still waiting for the GP/DI I paid for a long time ago. Love Fryette amps but will never ever order anything brand new from them again. If I'm buying another Fryette product it would be an used one for sure.

to me it doesn't sound full like a jcm800, strident high too.the attack almost seems like your using a quarter to pick with. Maybe just the recording. Be careful if that PS needs service, fryette is notorious for being hard to get in contact with. Try calling them, you will NEVER get anyone in the phone. I tell people they would contact Jimi Hendrix before Fryette on the phone. It didn't use to be this way. fryette used to personally take my calls sometimes. I knew that company had shit the bed when he lost the rights to his own company for unpaid loans and losing almost all of his dealers.

I just got a power station and had some questions and Dave from tech support got back to me within 24 hours and then we emailed back and forth instantly. I was satisfied. When you order the PS, they tell you that they have to build it and give you an estimated ship date. My actual ship date was very close to the estimated one. I'm a happy customer.

You do not need to worry about Fryette going anywhere any time soon. The reason the GP/DI is not out is because Steve is a perfectionist. There has been a big increase in sales this year and they are having a difficult time keeping up with it and the several projects they are working on. Besides the GP/DI there is the LXII and the updated Sig X and Deliverance they are developing.
I had a conversation with Steve a little more than a month ago.... They are doing better now than they have in years.

got my powerstation yesterday, very very nice. Does any use the effects loop for you modulation effects (echo and reverb) and can comment? Have not gotten to that yet? As an example place the hardwire DL8 echo and RV7 reverb in that loop and then switch those effects off. Is it pretty transparent beyond the great transparency already built into the product in normal mode?

That's not the kinda tone I typically go for at all... that clangy, cranked Marshall sound, but it certainly sounds damn good for what it is. It's a classic tone.

You know what it reminds me of?? a cranked fender bassman. I used to have one, and that's very reminiscent of the bassman tone to me.. which was the circuit that marshall tweaked for their early JTM-45 plexi's, I believe??

I use a reverb and delay both in the loop of my PS. I also use a clean boost to boost the volume on solos and they all work perfectly. The loop is completely transparent. This is hands down the best, most useful attenuater on the market.mdc1mdc11":1ugz10w8 said:

Clip sounds great. Perfect cranked Marshall snarl.
