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.

Amplifier attenuators have been around in various forms and configurations 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 amplifier attenuators negatively impact the tonal quality of
your amplifier at some or all volume settings.

2) Limited controllability – Attenuators that use step type level select switches are typically difficult 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 amplifier output transformer.

3) Loss of dynamic amplifier performance – All resistive attenuators interrupt the natural interaction
between the speaker and power tube stage of your amplifier causing an artificial, compressed
sound and stiff feel.

Enter the Fryette Power Station® – a new amplifier attenuator and re-amplification solution, offering
players intuitive and precise control over amplifier volume, distortion behavior and a wide range of highly
refined tonal qualities previously unavailable from any single attenuating or re-amping product.

Built on decades of experience producing the finest 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 amplifier and allows your amplifier 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
amplifier and speaker types. It also integrates seamlessly with any combination of internal and external
speaker configurations.

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 amplifier. Imagine taking your mini-amp or small vintage combo to a gig and having
enough power to be heard without sacrificing 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 find yourself up
and running in no time. First-hand experience and real world application will yield the ultimate satisfaction
of finding your own path to comprehension and self-expression.

or possibly BRITE if you want a little more cut in your live or recorded mix.

2. DEEP/WARM/FLAT - This switch sets the low frequency (Bass/Resonance) response of the reactive

depth will be retained. At high volume settings, this switch will normally be set FLAT or possibly
WARM if you want a little more low-end projection in your live or recorded mix.

NOTE: These switches only operate when your load speaker output is connected to
the Power Station Amp In jack. They remain operational in normal attenuation mode as well as in
Silent Mode, whether the Power Station is powered on or

POWER AMPLIFIER CONTROL FUNCTIONS

3. INPUT LEVEL SWITCH – Sets usable range of the Volume control relative to strength of Line Input
or Amp In signal level. This is useful for setting your ideal playing volume whether you are attenua-
ting a high powered amp, boosting a low powered amp or connecting a preamp to the Line In. Set
the Level switch to HI for attenuating high powered amps or hot Line In signals or LO for boosting
small amps or when using low level Line In signals.

NOTE: Set this impedance to match both the speaker and the load Most cabs have a
impedance and you usually have a choice of impedance on your Therefore it is
best to choose the impedance that will match your speaker cab. This will assure that
your and speaker are matched correctly when the Power Station is bypassed.

9. AMPLIFIER IMPEDANCE – Sets the impedance of the internal reactive load for optimum perfor-

10. SPEAKER 1 / SPEAKER 2 – Two parallel wired output jacks are provided for connection to any
cabinet or combination of cabinets that total 2/4, 8 or 16 ohms impedance. This is a simple way
to solve impedance questions. For example, when using only a single 16 ohm cabinet (typically a
4X12 cabinet), it is connected to the top jack and you will set the switch to 16 ohms. When using
two 16 ohm cabinets, simply connect them to the two parallel jacks and set the switch to 8. When
using two 8 ohm cabs, set this switch to 4 ohms.

5
IMPORTANT: The SPEAKER 1 jack has an open load protection feature. If no cable is connected
to this jack the Power Station will remain locked in BYPASS/STANDBY mode regardless of the
front panel Standby switch setting. This is done to prevent potential damage to your valuable
vintage amp should the speaker cable become disconnected while in Bypass mode.

11. CABINET IMPEDANCE – When one or both of the two parallel jacks are connected, simply set the
impedance selector switch for connection according to the chart below:
16Ω + None = 16Ω, 4Ω + None = 4Ω
16Ω + 16Ω = 8Ω, 4Ω + 4Ω = 4Ω
8Ω + None = 8Ω 2Ω + None = 2Ω
8Ω + 8Ω = 4Ω

IMPORTANT: The 2/4Ω amp and speaker setting is designed to be safe and compatible with all
vintage 2Ω and 4Ω amplifiers. Because a reactive load is not an actual speaker, the impedance
behavior of the load will not vary as wildly as an actual speaker and will therefore maintain a safe
and stable load for your treasured vintage amps at this low impedance range. Even so, we do
recommend that your power tubes are in good condition when using this device.

12. GROUND LIFT – This switch separates the internal circuit ground from chassis and power ground
in order to eliminate possible ground loops between the Power Station and the load amplifier
connected to the AMP IN jack. Select the position which yields quietest operation. With a properly
wired AC outlet and factory supplied AC cord, this switch may not produce a noticeable difference.
13. MAINS FUSE – Protects the amplifier from electrical faults. Replace only with type and rating spe-
cified on the rear panel of your amplifier.
14. AC MAINS INPUT – Connect to a grounded outlet in accordance with the voltage and frequency
specified on the rear panel of your amplifier.

USE ONLY THE FACTORY SUPPLIED CORDSET OR A UL APPROVED EQUIVALENT TYPE

USING SILENT MODE

Silent Mode allows you to use the Power Station as a silent adjustable reactive load for quiet direct recor-
ding or when sending a live amp signal to front of house with no speaker cab connected. In this mode it is
not necessary to power up the Power Station. You don’t even need to plug in the power cord. The Voicing
switches, Low Pass Filter switch, FX Send (along with the FX Level switch), and the Balanced and Unba-
lanced Line Outputs all operate with no AC power applied.

TUBE FUNCTION AND LOCATION

Power and phase inverter tubes are mounted horizontally near the back of the unit. The power tubes are
factory biased for optimum performance. No provision for internal or external biasing is provided. To insure
that the Power Station will remain within safe temperature operating limits, the bias must not be modified
or tampered with. Doing so will immediately void the warranty. Tube types are factory selected for superior
performance, consistent tone quality and reliability. Power tubes are factory tested and matched. For best
performance, replace only with factory recommended tubes.

during use. This is normal and there is not only a cooling fan and plenty of ventilation in the chassis
design, but all of the critical components and transformers are designed to withstand much more heat
than you will normally experience at during typical operation.
