Those Seymour Duncan Powerstage amps are utter tripe

[SKU]

Friend of mine used a Powerstage with his Helix rig briefly and we got together for a jam and his shit squealed like a pig at gigging level

He ditched it shortly afterwards

Easy to apply far too much gain on modellers. Much more than what you'd usually get out of a real amp. Basically looking for a ballsy sound in the wrong place.

Yeah idk what the problem was but he eventually ditched the Helix altogether and went with an HXFX/Synergy rig with a Peavey Classic power amp

His rig fucks now

LOL

mine is bigger than yours anyway.

Please god don't make the please god make it stop thing stop.

Or maybe yes.
Whatever

I'd like to ask Dave & Kiko why they used a shitty class D amp on tour.



Just saying....

Yep. I've always had great email support replies from Suhr, Keeley, 3rd Power, Diamond / SGFX and so on. Often from the owners.

No excuse for Fryette really. And it's definitely a concern that always pops up in my mind when considering a Fryette purchase.

For US folks you can probably just call or send it to them for repairs so it's a whole different ordeal to being on the other side of the planet.

I have also had intermittent success with Fryette support. I realized that any time I mention that I purchased a product used they ignore the email.

They do have an actual person answer the phone when you call them, so that is a good way to go.

It is well known that they don’t like to give out schematics.

Depends on your fetish.

You filthy boy.

We need more kink shaming, not less. These perverts need to stay away from our ISO toilets! We've got recordings to make!

I have a Crown Macro-Tech 2400 that weighs over 50lbs that I will lug to every gig (if I ever play any), along with a pair of (heavy) JBL Caberet 4691b clones (E140/2426 ) because of the smile that that shit puts on my face.
Vintage Crown/JBL to me is comparable to the tube amp infatuation that a lot of you have here. None of this modern shit sounds like it.
