At its core, it combines a tunable reactive load, attenuator and 50 watt valve power amplifier, allowing you to run an amplifier where it sounds and responds its best while controlling the actual volume reaching the speaker cabinet. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than simply reducing volume with a conventional attenuator, the Power Station places a reactive load on the connected amplifier and then re-amplifies that signal through its own 50 watt valve power section. This means it can work in both directions. A loud valve amp can be brought back to sensible playing levels, while a small amp can effectively be given a 50 watt valve output stage for rehearsals or live use. The internal power amplifier uses a matched pair of 6L6 power valves driven by a 12AX7. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also useful well beyond attenuation. The PS-2A can operate as a standalone valve power amp for preamps and other line level sources, while the onboard effects loop allows effects to be placed after the connected amplifier's power section. This is particularly useful with older non-master-volume amplifiers that don't have an effects loop of their own. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front panel provides Volume, Presence and Depth controls, along with Flat\/Brite\/Edge high frequency voicing and Flat\/Warm\/Deep low frequency voicing. Separate impedance selectors are provided for the amplifier and speaker sides, allowing 2\/4, 8 and 16 ohm configurations to be matched independently. The PS-2A also adds an adjustable Line Output Level control, with both unbalanced 1\/4\" and balanced XLR outputs available for integrating the unit into a recording or live rig. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example carries serial number PSF215050. For anyone using vintage valve amps, small heads, preamps or a mixture of traditional and modern equipment, the Power Station is a particularly useful piece of kit. It isn't simply an attenuator, but a practical interface between an amplifier, speaker cabinet and the rest of a modern guitar rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel: Fryette Power Station PS-2A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial Number: PSF215050\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType: Reactive Load, Attenuator \u0026amp; Valve Power Amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput Power: 50 Watts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Valves: 2 x 6L6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriver \/ Phase Inverter: 1 x 12AX7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReactive Load Capacity: 200 Watts Maximum Continuous at 2\/4 Ohms, 150 Watts at 8 Ohms, 200 Watts at 16 Ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmplifier Impedance: Selectable 2\/4, 8 or 16 Ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaker Impedance: Selectable 2\/4, 8 or 16 Ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaker Outputs: 2 x Parallel Speaker Outputs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls: Volume, Presence, Depth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh Frequency Voicing: Flat \/ Brite \/ Edge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow Frequency Voicing: Flat \/ Warm \/ Deep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput Level: Hi \/ Lo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEffects Loop: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEffects Loop Level: Hi \/ Lo Selectable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLine Outputs: 1\/4\" Unbalanced \u0026amp; XLR Balanced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLine Output Level: Adjustable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety Bypass: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in: USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fryette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48895455690905,"sku":"26176","price":1595.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_6240face-cd15-48bd-8ccb-2eddd10e7461.png?v=1787798607","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/fryette-power-station-ps-2a","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
