Fryette Power Station tube power amp

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I posted about my use of the first PS in my Ultra wet/dry rig. The dry side taps off after the amp and before the cabinet with an exf send to output 2 into the PS. This has worked out great for me, but I have two things to post about that might be of...

Axe-Fx Ultra in 2017

I just stopped by and found this post. I am still very happy using my Ultra in the studio and for live gigs. There is just so much I can do with it, for all styles of music ( I have only gotten deep into about 30% of the amps and fxs, so I still have much to experiment with). I have had it...

World's simplest/reliable MFC for Axe-Fx other than FAS MFC

One not mentioned and a bit old now is the Yamaha MFC10. I use the bottom switches for amp & pedal scenes and the top row for individual pedal bypasses, based on the amp selected by the bottom switches. One built in exp pedal and jacks for 4 more externals ( I use 1 external for my Mission exp...

Using Backing Tracks to Trigger Preset/Scene Changes w/ Bandhelper

This is just my 2c on how I approached backing tracks. I’ve had my Ultra for a number of years and have worked on a gig rig set-up that would allow backing track integration…either in a band or a solo setting. I have worked with midi controllers, lap tops & DAW triggering, BIAB, before coming...

Just bought a Fryette Power Station

I did leave out an important part of how my signal chain is set up....My dry signal, going to the PS...gets shunted off of the Amp block, before the cab block, the dry signal then hits a PEQ and then a FXL ( only have the dry channel on, the other three at 0db ) to Output #2 and cable to the...

Just bought a Fryette Power Station

Just a follow up....I tried the Fx Return input...first a big gain increase and loud hum when not playing...so I changed my FX Level setting from Hi to Low...(HI is for Line Level, which I thought would be correct) the low setting worked for me...no buzzing and my mix with my wet side, FRFR...

Thanks for the tip. Going in the Line In, I have my front Volume knob at 3/4, to push the power tubes...a sound I like and very reactive to what the AF preset is doing....going to try the Fx In, but with the Volume down...cheers.

Just bought a Fryette Power Station

Hello dschaaf....I have had my Ultra since 09, and I'm still learning new things to do with it. Unfortunately, with tube pre's you do get what you pay for...I went with the UA610, because its a classic (Sinatra recorded thru em), good sound, easy to open and change tubes, good size, not a lot of...

How is your Ultra/Standard holding up

I bought mine about 9 yrs ago. I still have the plastic cover on the read-out window. Besides the rotary dial getting a little flaky ( it over and under shoots as you turn it, ending up in front or behind where you wanted to stop ), nothing ever gave me trouble. Better still, I'm still getting...

AXEFX Professor(s) help needed for MELLOTRON sound

x2 with Axe Disciple......I am also still using the Ultra...but would appreciate any help in getting the sound preset. Being able to add non-guitar sounds, without a midi guitar, is a real plus for creativity....violin on a jazz tune. Thanks for any help.

Bank of Fender

I would really appreciate if someone could put a link up for these presets. Having a fender amp assortment would really help out on blues & R&B gigs. If the file is large...even a DropBox link...which others have used as a way to transfer preset banks. Even an assortment of 10-20 individual...
