Well, I think I'm confused... you said you need to set at neutral the Low and High Freq Resonance parameters in the Amp block when you use the Fryette PS, but don't need to do that when using SD PS170, right?The Matrix is an excellent device, used by many pros. Used it for years.
I switched to the Powerstage because of its size (wanted a smaller 19" case). And because I like its sound a little better than that of the Matrix. The (mid) lows of the Powerstage just sound better to me.
The Fryette Power Station (PS-1 or PS-2) is a different animal. Frankly, it sounds the best to me of every neutral amp I tried, especially again in the low-mids. Very natural and organic. It's also a great tool to have around for other purposes (as a load, etc.). And it provides my Fryette GP/DI with plenty output power.
But, there's a but. Using the PS-2 requires the Low Frequency and High Frequency parameters in the Amp block to be set at neutral (otherwise the lows and highs get too much emphasis). That's okay when using it for backline purposes, but it creates problems when using a hybrid output design: using a single Amp block for with the PS-2 as well as with FRFR. Those neutral LF/HF settings won't work well with the direct tone going to FOH or to an FRFR monitor.
I'm considering to buy a PS170 to use with a 2x12 V30 guitar speaker, and one output to FOH.
Thanks again.
