I had a mixed experience with the Fryette too

The attack/feel on my Germino LV55 felt slower, not as sharp, def took away from the feel. I preferred a ppimv on that amp to running thru the PS. Which sux, because I would've liked to have had an effects loop with that amp.

It didn't sound any better on amps with a mv, than the mv. A cranked 2204 thru the PS turned down, sounded like the 2204 turned down.

Interesting... I can't notice any difference in feel with my 2204 (formerly 4104). However, my comparisons have been made at apartment volumes. I also think my 2204 cranked into the PS sounds much better than just the 2204 turned down, and much closer to my memory of the amp when it was cranked into the same cab without the PS. I wonder why we had different experiences.

Who knows. Probably user error on my part.

Pulled out a Kramer EE with a JBJ in the bridge today, and I am genuinely surprised how gainy and chunky these were bone stock at this point. Doesn´t sound quite like the plexis or Eddie anymore, but such a hard rocking 80s sound when driven by a hotter humbucker.

And on that note I can also mention that the JB works awfully well with a treble bleed. Rolling out a bit of that thick low end for sharper rhythm work and using the volume all the way up for leads is very cool, it has output to spare so just backing off the volume slightly to lean it out doesn´t make it quiet or weak at all. Especially not into compressed amps.

Played this one a lot again the last few days, venturing into boosted territory now. I wasn´t really feeling it with my normal TS10 so I switched it out for a SD1 - and yeah, there it was. Volume 1 backed off a smidge to 6,5 or 7, bass rolled up a bit from zero or 1 where I keep it when nothing is in front. Just the right sound. Gain on the SD1 maybe at 2, and level at noon.

Goes to show why I always have both those basic flavors available, both Tubescreamer and SD1. Similar in some ways, but definitely dissimilar enough that some amps/guitars really dig one or the other way more.
