Don't Settle for a Mere Attenuator - Get Exactly What You Need with the Fryette PS-2A Power Station - Reactive Load with 50W Re-Amp (Attenuator) Sapphire Blue Panel - CHUCKSCLUSIVE 65th Anniversary Edition
Fryette's Integrated Reactance Amplifier is an easy-to-use, tunable reactive load coupled to a vacuum tube power amplifier that fine-tunes your amplifier response which then drives your speaker cabinet. If you have ever used a resistive or inductive attenuator, you have already experienced the loss of tone and dynamics of your amplifier at various volume settings. You are already frustrated with the typical 3dB step switch that always seems one step too loud or one step too quiet. If you've used a solid-state powered attenuator, you've already experienced the flat speaker cab response and finicky effects loop function that never seems to be the perfect level.
The Power Station is a convenient, lightweight product that sits neatly on top of any head or combo amplifier with none of the drawbacks of a conventional attenuator. The Power Station provides every guitar player a variety of performing and recording solutions for every kind of playing or performing application or environment.

- Provides an unbalanced line out for any amp whether or not it already has one
