very cool... literally.I've run my KSR for hours and it's no hotter than a normal tube amp. Has a fan that's always on.

Yep, always do this!!What I would recommend when using the PS 170:
Always turn the preamp AND poweramp modeling on.
It sounds way more realistic and makes the overall sound more dynamic and compensates the missing dynamics of the PS 170.

Old thread, but just wondering what your takeaway was in this comparison? Obviously you landed on the LXII but just how much better was it?The PS 700 is what I tested against the Fryette LXII.
At volume, the LXII is significantly better. Low volume it’s moderately better. There is a definite difference with tube power and it increases exponentially with volume.Old thread, but just wondering what your takeaway was in this comparison?

Thanks for the info. I am running a 2/50/2 currently and was debating downgrading to a Duncan to free up some $$$ but keep stereo. Was hoping to justify it, but your experience is what I will likely run into as well, and the remorse will kick in...At volume, the LXII is significantly better. Low volume it’s moderately better.

As the above post from @tmingle said, if you match an FM3 up with the LXII you will find what you’re looking for. It’s exactly like playing through an all analog rig.
I used to use a 2/90/2 so I get where you’re coming from.Thanks for the info. I am running a 2/50/2 currently and was debating downgrading to a Duncan to free up some $$$ but keep stereo.

Funny I was also debating selling the 2/50 for a 2/90. Curious what drew you to the LX over the 2/90?I used to use a 2/90/2 so I get where you’re coming from.
Sorry, resuming an old post here: is this still accurate? should i keep the cab sim on when sending guitar signal from out2 of my FM3 to a powerstage 170 and then to a real 212 cab? i assumed the cab sim should be off with this setup. thanks in advance!What I would recommend when using the PS 170:

Yes, when sending to a real cab, turn off the cab sim for that output. You only need it on for outputs that might be going to studio monitors, an FRFR speaker or PA system.Sorry, resuming an old post here: is this still accurate? should i keep the cab sim on when sending guitar signal from out2 of my FM3 to a powerstage 170 and then to a real 212 cab? i assumed the cab sim should be off with this setup. thanks in advance!
ok thanks - that confirms my understading.Yes, when sending to a real cab, turn off the cab sim for that output. You only need it on for outputs that might be going to studio monitors, an FRFR speaker or PA system.
