Connect PS-2A to Power Load PL-IR thus becoming one unit

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… :smiley:

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.
