When using the Fryette simply to attenuate an amp (70s 2203/2204), it's glorious.
However, doing so with Fryette's fx loop engaged results in a massive tone loss (50%). The loss is proportional to the amount of attenuation happening. Specifically, to the level of the amp; with master volume past 2 or 3 (9-10 o'clock) the tone becomes increasingly anemic.
I've tried the Fryette with different amps; same result. My cables are good (Mogami). Actually, any insertion of a cable into the Fryette send or return jack produces the problem; the other end need not be plugged into anything at all.
Could a faulty PS2 fuse or tube be responsible for this? I tested its rear controls ie: fx level; the problem is unrelated to a controllable setting anywhere on the unit.
I've sent an email to [email protected] Any ideas?
