I wonder if a Power Station would make my Friedman Plex sound better than it already does currently with a master control volume. It sounds pretty good already but it's so loud i can't really turn it more than like 2 or 3 in my house without things rattling off the walls. I want one because i'm curious about that, and for the built in effects loop.
I'm not sure, I have a feeling Dave does master volumes pretty well (I think I recall him saying its a post phase inverter master volume??) Anyway, I can report that I have a Vox AC15 which sounds better when I turn up the master volume past noon, and I run it through the powerstation so I can hear it in all it's glory. If you have the means, see if you can record the Plex loud vs quiet and see if you hear much difference. I'm sure that thing gets loud, lol
Yeah, I think it's very transparent - I recently did a video about the Fryette comparing it bypassed and then at different volumes if you wanna hear for yourself: th-cam.com/video/fQ4FykKjKJU/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps!
@@TheBasementMusician I was responding to the OP, he mentioned the difference between a "real" plexi and the SV20 and I just reminded him that "real" plexis generally are played through a closed back 4x12 cab, and that sounds very different, but your video sounds good too IMO! Generally I play my SV20 through a 1960BHW cab (4x12 Heritage G12H30s) but sounds good also with my AC30 cab and other combinations, it's just different.
SV20h is 100% a real Plexi, just as much as a 1987x is a plexi, just as a 1974x is a Plexi. All of them are slightly different flavors and wattages of Plexi, but they are all ultimately Plexis. Of course it's going to feel different because a 100watt amp takes up a lot more sound room than a 20 watt amp, but it's got the perfect scaled down Plexi tone.
No better sound than a Les Paul into a Marshall. Love it!
It makes me happy
For me strat into a Marshall🙂
There's nothing like the sound of a Plexi!
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Is that Fryette power station transparent?

I had the OX attenuator, hated it.@TheBasementMusician
Yeah I’ve had the Weber and the THD hot plate, but so far the Fryette is my favorite
I like your thinking- heck with the sheetrock, buy gear instead!
lol! .... yeah pretty much
Idda know.... perhaps a real plexi? There is something very different about the real thing.
Maybe the cab? He's playing through a 1x12 open back with a 25W Greenback...
Yes - a cab is the next thing on my list. Even the AC15 sounds way different through say a closed back 2x12 (let alone a 4x12).
