Hi, does anyone know how to connect as succinctly as possible the FRYETTE Power Station/2A into the FRYETTE Power Load or visa versa? I want to attenuate with PA/2A and listen to my guitar use the IRs and cabs within the power load via my Friedman Runt 20 combo amp. Thank you
Hi @H1ppolytus and welcome to the forum!
Connect your amp to the Power Station (AMP IN), connect the output of the power station (SPKR OUT) to the input (AMP IN ) of the power load, and then take a line out from the PL-IR.
Here is that in a nice diagram:

Hi Dan that’s a great help, thank you so much for the diagram…honestly I’m that guy that always needs a diagram…thank you also for welcoming me to the forums to…I will let you know how it all pans out… ![]()

Great info. If I wanted to run live with a cab, would I go:
amp speaker out > PS100 amp in > PS100 speaker out to Power Loader IR amp in > PLIR speaker out to cab? Then obviously line out to mixer?
Hello Fryette Team,
I have a question about combining a Bogner Ecstasy 101B, a Power Load IR, and a Power Station PS-2A.
My intended signal chain is:
Bogner XTC 101B Speaker Out → Power Load IR AMP IN → Power Load IR CAB THRU → Power Station PS-2A AMP IN → PS-2A Speaker Out → Guitar Cabinet
The reason for this setup is that my Bogner and Power Load IR are permanently installed in a fixed studio rack. Most of the time I use the Power Load IR for recording and monitoring. Occasionally, however, I would like to add my PS-2A and a guitar cabinet to the setup without having to rewire the existing studio configuration.
Because of this, it would be much more convenient if I could feed the PS-2A from the Power Load IR’s CAB THRU output rather than placing the PS-2A before the Power Load IR.
Is this configuration officially supported and safe to use?
I have seen examples showing the Power Station before the Power Load IR, but I would like to know whether the above configuration is also recommended.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Pieter
Hi @Pieter_V and welcome to the forum!
Thanks for a very clear question!
Yes you can do this. One thing to note. Connecting CAB THUR on PL-IR bypasses the PL-IR’s reactive load and brite/flat/deep toggle switches and sends the full power of your amplifier into the PS-2A, but all the IR outputs still work.
Just ensure your PS-2A is configured for the correct impedance of your amp and speakers, and use the toggles on the PS-2A to fine-tune the tone.
Setup sounds like a good one to me.
