Damn they sounds sick! From 1:10-1:20 is why Marshall is legendary. Modern high gain amps are insane but that Marshall lead tone is absolutely glorious. To my ears no amp cuts and hits those upper mids in the mix like a Marshall. Haters are just jealous. lol 🤘
I may be way off base, but I have a fryette and notice a lot of heat dissipation from the top of it. I wonder with the Marshall sitting on top, partially blocking the vents, if it could overheat and damage the fryette?
I think there’s no way around it since you’re attenuating it down so far. In other words how do you A/B the tone with a cranked Plexi and no attenuator vs one with the volume brought down? The dynamics always change with volume. But either way, there’s no arguing that NMV amps sound amazing with them.
Wow that sounds awesome!! I have a very novice question. I was considering getting a Friedman Mini dirty Shirley head but am concerned about getting good tones at bedroom volumes. I know some guys will use attenuators and things like the OX and then play through studio monitors and such. I currently use an unpowered Kemper and play it through a Yamaha THR10 deck top amp, which I found sound way better than studio monitors. It has a flat mode so it doesn’t color the sound much. My question, is it possible to run an amp head like the Freidman through some type of attenuator or audio interface and then have the output to the Yamaha? The kemper is unpowered but then Yamaha is a powder amp. Sorry for this basic question but this all a bit new to me. Before getting into modelers I was always a basic tube combo guy. Thanks 🎸
@@groundzeroampworks780 cool man, what about speaker out options ? I mean I could get the 1x12 cab, which I likely would regardless, but I do like having the option of using even smaller speakers like on the Yamaha THR10. Is there a way to use the THR10 as an output? It’s an amplifier so I know you can’t tun another amp (ie the Shirley) into another amp, but isn’t know if you could use some kind of audio interface to take the signal of the dirty Shirley and then rout it to the Yamaha? Sorry if that makes no sense! I’m not tech about guitar gear. Thanks again
@@quentinjorstad6211 both preamp and power amp of the Marshall are being used. Speaker out into power station, power station out to speaker cab. It’s just attenuating the signal between amp and cabinet.

Yeah a lot of people seem to be worried about that. It was only on there for this video. Plus it has vents on the side. You have to think about it…Fryette makes a rack mount kit for the PS100. So you’d have little to no ventilation through the top in that scenario. Hence the side vents.
Hmm. All the heat from the amp going into Fryette, Fryette pushing all the heat back into amp through top/bottom panel...... Heat rises, cool air falls. Do the Marshall a solid, put it on the bottom.
I am soooooo tired of people saying...this boutique amp sounds just like a MARSHALL. Well it doesn't! Just get a freakin' MARSHALL and forget about it! Simple, simple you silly rabbit...treat yourself to a real diamond...not glass! 🤪
metal guitarplayer comments: It doesn't sound like all that much distortion. I get more intense dirt/distortion and sustain with a $40 dod grunge pedal.
The Power Station should be sitting on top of the amp head because there are ventilation holes for a reason. It will generate heat while in operation.
My thoughts exactly. My PS100 gets super hot on top.
