GO DIRECT! Fryette PowerLoad IR Review

[@alexc2680]

What a great tutorial on a killer piece of gear. I've one coming later in the week and will be watching this video many times. We Appreciate your hard work!!

[@shorerocks]

Coming back to this video a year later I just realised how helpful your introduction + 2 Cents are. Thx, Henning.

[@berndkiltz]

Please Fryette, make a powerStationLoad (all in one) so i can sell my oxbox. And give it a digital out in 48khz. PLEASE?

[@christopher.k.guitar]

Ja, das wär‘s…!

[@jimshomestudio]

I ended up dealing with Herbert at Evertune and was sure to mention that your video brought the guitar to my attention. Pink/Purple straps are hard to come by, but I found a decent Purple leather. It’ll probably be Autumn before we know it. Thanks HP, thanks Herbert.

[@aleksandarbrankovic]

Great little device. What about us who are running WDW? At the end of the day everyone expect us to buy 3 load boxes for bedroom playing. Great review as always. In ideal world only germans should be allowed to make reviews and quality analysis. You are definitely on another level in that field. Hat of sir.

[@Eliphas_Elric]

That opening track was absolutely killer and very Devin Townsendish.

[@mantashaft]

I rationalized that I would probably be best served with the Fryette Power LoadIR since I have a Power Station and there isn’t redundancy

[@maxwellblakely7952]

I’m with you on this. Gonna pick one of these up soon.

[@kernowcalli3312]

Sick intro henning! I think you’ve just sold me on the plir

[@soundchaserq1996]

Hi. If you would want to play your favorite amps and have the best tube sound and feel through the headphones, what would you pick, this or the OX?

[@HEZ63]

A "must have", if you want to get your tube amp signal to line level. Much more authentically sounding than the AMT and Torpedo Capture solutions. Especially the Captures did not convince me at all sonically and made the sound much too worse. A lot of features for creating best sounding results, but a little confusing maybe without using the manual first, as the controls, which affect the different connections, not necessarily are self-explanatory. But once, you have found out, which combinations work, an almost perfectly well working tool. Not really cheap, to be honest, even more expensive than most of my tube amps, but you anyway only need it once. Also nice, that you can even fine-tune your loaded cabinet IR's. I usually pre-mix them in Super Cabinet, which also offers a very useful graphic display and the rest is easily done within the Fryette then.

[@stevelegget9392]

Hey man, you tried the Red Seven and the Freyette… which one is better? I’m trying to upgrade my Captor X… thanks in advance.

[@hekakain4108]

I've just ordered the Fryette Power Load IR and was wondering if I can use it in conjunction with my Fryette PS - 2A (connect the two together) so I have an attenuator and headphone/recording set up?

[@hekakain4108]

Yes you can...

[@hekakain4108]

Thank you as I have been wondering, while wandering, through the day. Pondering ponderously if they will marry together for the longest time...

[@Seabass20329]

This is a very dumb question to ask but I'm completely new to IR's and loadboxes, so just to be absolutely sure: This is made to work with completely silent recording right? I can run 100 watt tube amps directly into this at full volume and the only noise produced will be coming out of my headphones if they're the only thing plugged into an output and there will be zero damage to the amp? Latency has kept me away from amp sims and IR loadboxes in the past, this could finally be the box that lets me start recording with tube amps at home

[@EytschPi42]

Yes to everything you asked! Play you 100W head silently with headphones. No problem for your amp!

[@Seabass20329]

@@EytschPi42 thank you!

[@5puchacz]

@@EytschPi42 Hello, maybe again dumb question but I'm gonna shoot it anyway. Regarding playing with beast 100W amp using headphones. How could I set volume for headphones? Is it only volume know at amp control or do we have more options. I'm asking because for example mentioned Plexi (or JCM800) could generate too loud signal for headphones to handle. By the way, I follow your channel about 6 years by now. I learned from you tons of knowledge about equipment, professional home studio. Also about checking, verifying guitar quality. I would like to say that I am very grateful for all this knowledge. Keep on RocKing!

[@tdan71]

@@5puchacz Hi, The IR level knob controls the headphone volume

[@hermeneut]

Hey hennig, thanks for reviewing. What would you recommend in sight of tone quality of attenuation and playing feel (also DI-Out quality for recording): Iron Man II or Power Load IR?

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Is the headphone output fed the Analog cab sim, or the IR? (The manual doesn’t make it clear).

[@MaxFreist]

Alter Henning! Du kannst ja härter! Das is ja schon fast Meddl! 😁🤘

[@dominicgibson9529]

Brilliant as usual!! So is this basically a box version of the "Rig" part of the Ox? I got one a couple weeks ago, and I'm now wishing I hadn't. My Wi-Fi does not work and trying to get help is like getting blood from a stone. Question...could you put this together with the Power Station, and if so, what would those connections be? Thanks, Henning.

[@EytschPi42]

well… the ox is very different than this and doesn’t use IRs

[@dominicgibson9529]

@@EytschPi42 I was just wondering. I'm considering the Fryette Power Station 100. The Ox is a waste of way too much money. I cannot put into words how disappointed I've been with both the unit and the "care".

[@JamesMurphyProducer]

probably the saddest "animals at the end" i've seen so far... actually the only sad one i've seen so far, but yeah... it's sad-making. Informative video though, i think i want a PLIR now.

[@archibaldikowski3646]

Cooler Introtrack, hat was!

Great product from Fryette, as always. I would have added a small screen to know the name of the IR but hey….

[@vaughnwebbermusic]

Solid track, epic playing!!!

[@omegasunn]

Another awesome vid Henning, just a quick question, will we get an ENGL artist edition video?

[@daviddorrian5349]

I got excited about the FX loop as my amp does have one but, it's only for the headphones?

[@dantahoua]

I'm in another situation. My 50w tube amp sounds great at 6. But it is always a little bit too loud at that sweet spot. So I am looking for a small good quality attenuator that can knock off a little dB from the amp. Don't need any fancy stuff. Small, good quality, small attenuation. Anyone with an idea?

[@simonezanoni2059]

Tone King IronMan II Mini Power Attenuator. However, at 6 you are hearing both amp played loud and speaker pushed. With the attenuator you'll loose the latest.

[@roberthorvath7910]

It’s a cool video but why so many people don’t tune their guitar’s for a video 🤷‍♂️🙄🤦‍♂️.

[@mantashaft]

I have been trying to keep these products and features together in my brain so I don’t fail to obtain a feature or duplicate a feature I want or don’t want. It’s really asking too much from my brain.

[@sansocie]

i pain your feel

[@maxmustardman298]

Henning made a very comprehensive comparison video about most of these units. But, as with smartphones, you really cant exclude features you dont want once you get into the higher priced stuff. Which I hate ;)

[@johnclark1000]

great for the home studio!

[@kernowcalli3312]

Quick question. Is it possible to run stereo delay and reverbs etc post power section as per the ps2? I saw the headphone loop but is it possible to get the post fx into the daw? This is a feature I’m really longing for. Long time player wanting to get into the confusing world of recording thanks.

[@EytschPi42]

I am pretty sure you can't do it in stereo into the daw. I think the FX are only for the headphone out. BUT... you could run the IR output into your delay and reverb and then run that into your interface and just wired them behind the PowerLoad IR.

[@kernowcalli3312]

Think I’m gonna have to pull the trigger on this and an rme baby face to go with it. Thanks so much with your help man much appreciated! Just wanna get this right first time

[@arkistriph1]

Hi Henning!! Could this be used in conjunction with the Power Station 100?

[@EytschPi42]

yes! A great pair

[@arkistriph1]

@@EytschPi42 Thank you, I think my rig is coming together. Kind Sir, where could one find videos of a young Henning on stage?

[@333jackjackjack]

Hey can’t seem to find this info anywhere. Any chance you know the max bit depth and sample rate of the IR loader? Also while completely different products for studio use this vs the Ox which would be your choice?

[@EytschPi42]

The OX doesn’t use IRs and I feel their modeling and especially their room simulation is above the rest.

[@333jackjackjack]

@@EytschPi42 While I have absolutely no doubt the Ox sounds absolutely fantastic. My biggest question is this. The Ox simulates 3 cab/mic/pre/room set ups with adjustable reverb and compression that you can mix. This obviously should result in a more finished and better sound. How does it stack up compared to something like the IR loader if you were to process the IR loader with compression and run it through something like the UAD ocean way room?

[@RogerMaya1]

Can I make sound also like a fender?

[@ronaranjo]

Hi, Henning! Loved the intro track, is it available in Spotify or KZbin Music?

[@EytschPi42]

Nope, it is not

[@bavarianmonkey8326]

Is it possible that this device uses a russian AMT Pangaea CP-16 module? The file system looks like it. Maybe somebody can check if it works with the pangaea software?

[@ForeverDownByLaw]

You're really going to love the new GP/DI IR when it comes out. The functionality of this unit, but with a kick ass little amp attached. I love my original GP/DI, incredible unit.

[@magnuslervikmusic]

[@androidgameplays4every13]

What camera and lens do you use? awesome video quality!!!!

[@EytschPi42]

it’s a lot of different ones… which shits do you mean? The product shots are done with a Red Komodo

[@androidgameplays4every13]

@@EytschPi42 Red Komodo? holy moly! now I understand why the quality of your videos is unparalleled, thanks for your answer. Since we are gear freaks I have to say I would enjoy a video of you talking and showing all your camera gear! 😍

[@EytschPi42]

oh man... that would be a LOOOOOOONG video. There are a few behind the scenes videos that show the setup.... I have different tools for different jobs... Most cameras for the main videos are Blackmagic Studio Cams (8 of them) and Micro 4Ks (6) Product Shots and Produced Track are now Red Komodo (Xeen Cine 16,24,35,85 / Irix 150mm Macro / Laowa Periprobe - all thise for the Product Shots) (Anamorphic Lenses for the Produced Tracks) For Trade shows and on the road stuff I use a Canon XF705 and XF605 For one camera shots where I talk directly into the cam I use a Sony FX3 and FX6, or an A7III 16-35 GMaster, 24/1.4 Gmaster, 18-135/F4 Motorized and a 70-200 for animal shots There are a bunch more... A6400, several dedicated Video Cams.... Action Cams... So the short story is... Making these videos in the quality that I make them in is NOT CHEAP and takes a lot of work. And then people bitch about the fact that I get paid to do it.

@@EytschPi42 Thank you, I really didn't expect you give me a detailed list of the camera gear you use, I really appreciate it!!! it was easy to me to see very quickly the level of production of your videos is way above KZbin and even TV standards, besides your investment in gear I can't imagine all the time, effort and talent required to create videos such as this one.

I did

[@cembobiohazard7779]

@@EytschPi42 well, it didn't work :) but I love your videos. Would you be able to compare power-amp in Steven's Powerstation to power-amp in 2/50/2 or 2/90/2 ? Might be very interesting to hear the differences in compression, dynamic ...etc. Still can't decide which one would be better for combination with pre-amp.

This or the Redseven AmpCentral ? :)

Exactly. I need to find which one. I’m upgrading my Captor X. Did you find out anything?

[@CoolPabloDeTodo]

very nice intro song :)

[@dwftube]

I've not seen a single review of this thing were they use imported IRs. I mean who doesn't want to know what this thing sounds like with Greenback or V30 IRs?

[@ethandorsett4895]

This or the ox?

[@kasakka]

FYI: The "Flat" settings make it a resistive load. Pretty much always the middle or top positions just plain sound and feel better. Not in love with this unit's design. The preset management, while requiring no extra apps seems pretty archaic. What happens if you cram more files into the same folder? Does it just pick by name? The factory IRs, while not available anywhere else afaik don't have a whole lot of mic options. The bank/preset is pretty confusing to look at visually but the preset toggle is nice. PS. Henning, please tune your guitar more often.

[@AntonovichHicksenbrau]

yes tune,..

[@reddoggie100]

Fryette Power Load IR or… Twonote Cab M +?

[@EytschPi42]

Very different Tools… hard to compare

[@ulfvolz4798]

Another cool or rather hot - intro song! Thanks for the interesting video. My personal conclusion is that while this box is great, it is „overkill“ for me. I guess the Bluguitar Blubox is more fitting my needs. Have you checked it? I searched but did not find a video from you about it.

[@SpaceCaptainCreations]

Can you come out of this unit into the cab m+ into the recording interface? And this might seem like a silly question but how is the headphone level controlled for one, and if your 100 watt amp is cranked is the volume controlled through the daw? I don’t gig anymore and want to utilize my amps in my studio without losing tone or shaking my house. I’m on the fence between this unit and the power station.

IDK why you were so confused describing the Waza TAE.. it literally does everything you described. Yet here you are saying you wish such a device existed.

[@EytschPi42]

the TAE does a lot, but your signal gets digitized and then amplified with a Class A/B amp, so the cab still doesn’t see tubes. That’s where the Power Station is the better product… they all have pros and cons!
