Didn't mean to throw shade at your choice. I do keep (and love!) a Fender Mustang GT in my jam roomThe Pedal Baby was ~$325. Fryette stuff is around $850+ used. Just sayin’
Those Seymour Duncan Powerstage amps are utter tripe

No, not at all. I do plan on trying the Fryette PS2/LX-II at some point, but in Madison Square Bedroom, it gets the job done for now.Didn't mean to throw shade at your choice. I do keep (and love!) a Fender Mustang GT in my jam room

Also, for those that want to dig in on power amps and audio devices in general, I suggest taking a look at this forum, there are a lot of pretty in-depth scientific reviews of many power amp modules we usually find within guitar and bass gear.

Well and with the Fryette stuff there is the scarcity, the stories of questionable support and also the story of that GD presence and depth control location on the LX-II

That's THE EXACT controls I want front facing on a power amp for modelers. Not some push buttons

Just make sure your rack case has mounting strips front and back and mount it on the backsideThat's THE EXACT controls I want front facing on a power amp for modelers. Not some push buttons

I'll add fan noise, idle noise and fragility to that list. I don't see myself buying anything Fryette again. When they work they're fine but they just don't seem like they are particularly robust.Well and with the Fryette stuff there is the scarcity, the stories of questionable support and also the story of that GD presence and depth control location on the LX-II
My PS-100 could not take a 5-10 cm drop onto its feet. Was packing it up and my hand slipped. No visible damage but it just no longer passed audio when powered on. Tech couldn't figure it out because Fryette didn't reply to their emails requesting schematics. Claimed it on insurance and might try to get it fixed again some time.
Fryette support always seems to have some excuse when someone is calling for help on forums because they are not getting replies from the company. It's not like managing emails is this insurmountable task.

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.
Sounds a bit candy assed to me.

You haven’t owned many tube power amps have you?Tube amps have presence, resonance and some times powerful eqs (like 5 band mesa)
the eq nothing like a power stage.

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.
