I have a Fryette Power Station PS-2A and it's awesome. It's both a 50 watt tube power amp and a reactive load box. I highly recommend.

The 6505 is freaking awesome! It might be my favorite module yet!

LOL

With all due respect, I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish. If you're recording Direct because you're using a DAW Amp Simulator like Guitar Rig, et al, the front input of your Apollo should suffice but if you don't like the tone, the DI might be an improvement. One solution would be...

The Plexi can definitely pull off medium-to-high gain (although the bottom loosens up significantly when the gain knobs are dimed). It can clean up but it's not Fender Twin kind of clean, it's Marshall clean. The Metropolis is very, very clean for me but I use lower gain pickups (Lollar...

The SYN-2's were not designed to run in series, which is why the output decreases with each additional unit in the series. I have four SYN-2's and by the time I hit the 4th unit, there was barely any volume. The solution is to either use a MIDI switching system like the Voodoo Labs HEX or GCX...

Also, I encourage all of you guys that are interested in using IR's to demo everything out there that's available. I've found that Wall of Sound sounds very "processed" compared to other "expensive" programs and even freeware like Boogex and NadIR by STL Tones (check out Libra if you're...

The Synergy Direct Out has a Cab Sim that can be bypassed. Also, there is absolutely no reason to simulate a Power Amp or the room in which a cabinet is recorded, as 99% of the time, the guitar cabinets are close mic'd. Power Amp simulations are marketing nonsense. If you're really missing...

I'll be listing this module and a Metroplex later this week on Reverb.com

Still available :D

Dropped to $275 shipped! :)

The Diezel Herbert is already available and shipping...

Mike Nielsen posted a YouTube video on his channel yesterday demonstrating the Diezel Herbert. It sounds killer, to say the least. My apologies, I don't know how to embed in this forum. https://youtu.be/JtfsSbkuzo0

I have the Plexi and Metroplex. In my experience, the Plexi has far more gain than the Metro, which has more of a "modern" Plexi tone than the Plexi. If you're cranking up both the Bright and Normal gain and you're playing a Les Paul with high gain pickups, getting the AFD tone shouldn't be...
