FRONT PANEL OVERVIEW
Record Direct using your favorite tube amp
The Fryee Power Load™ combines the variable reactive load of the Award-winning Fryee Power Station®
coupled to a tunable analog Cab + Mic Emulation system that allows you to silently record your favorite tube
amplifier. Whether you are seing your tweed combo at the sweet spot or doing a full right hand sweep on
your 100-wa head, the Power Load allows you to fine tune the reactive behavior the amplifier response,
and the character of the Cab + Mic Emulation for unprecedented control of your recorded performance.
Practice with headphones
You can run your favorite tube amp into the Power Load, cranked, for silent headphone practice with the
built-in professional-quality headphone amplifier. The stereo eects loop in the headphone amp allows you
to insert delays and reverb into the headphone mix. You can also connect a stereo music source such as a CD
or MP3 player or group practice mixer using the Program Input for an unprecedented level of performance.
Perform live
For live performance you can place the Power Load in between your amp and cabinet, sending the XLR with
Cab + Mic emulation direct to the Front of House PA and Monitor board. No cabs? No Problem! You can run
your favorite amp silently, delivering dynamic consistent tone direct to the console.
FRONT PANEL OVERVIEW
REACTIVE LOAD VOICING SWITCHES
The Reactive Load in the Power Load™ is what absorbs the output power of the amplifier connected to the
Amp In jack, and therefore the volume of that amplifier. It’s easier to think of the Reactive Load as a substitute
or dummy speaker. It reacts to your amplifier in the same way that a speaker reacts to your amplifier and
this is what helps your amplifier retain its original tone and feel. Like the speaker connected to an amplifier,
the response of the Reactive Load and it’s interaction with the load amp changes at dierent volume seings.
The Voicing Switches allow you to fine tune the response of the Reactive Load at your preferred playing volumes.

FRONT PANEL OVERVIEW – CONTINUED
1. EDGE/BRITE/FLAT – This switch sets the high frequency (Treble/Presence) response of the reactive load
in the Power Load. This will determine how much of your load amplifier’s top end presence and clarity
will be retained. At high volume seings, this switch will normally be set FLAT or possibly BRITE if you
want a lile more cut in your live or recorded mix.
2. DEEP/WARM/FLAT - This switch sets the low frequency (Bass/Resonance) response of the reactive load
in the Power Load. This will determine how much of your load amplifier’s low end punch and depth will
be retained. At high volume seings, this switch will normally be set FLAT or possibly WARM if you want
a lile more low-end projection in your live or recorded mix.
NOTE: These switches only operate when your load amplifier’s speaker output is connected to the Power
Load Amp In jack. They remain operational whether the Power Load is powered on or o.
3. LEVEL – This adjusts the output level of the headphone amp output DIRECT 2 and DIRECT 1 outputs.
NOTE: This does NOT adjust the output level of the CAB THRU.
4. PHASE REVERSE SWITCH – Flips the phase of the audio signal 180 degrees for the DIRECT OUT 2 outputs only.
CAB + MIC SECTION
5. IN/OUT – This switch engages the analog CAB + MIC Emulator. You can dis-engage this section if you are using
an external Impulse Response cabinet simulator.
6. CONTOUR: LO MID, HI MID – These speaker curve simulation controls adjust two bands of mid frequency
behavior of the CAB + MIC emulator. Control range is +/- 12dB, center detent is flat.
7. EMPHASIS – This microphone simulation control adjusts the high frequency behavior of the CAB + MIC
emulator in conjunction with the AIR/BITE SWITCH. Control range is +/- 12dB, center detent is flat.
8. AIR/BITE – This switch selects the type of mic and placement simulation. The AIR seing creates a more
open sound (emphasizing higher frequencies), similar to an o-axis mic placement. The BITE seing
creates a more pronounced top end, accentuating the upper-mid frequencies, similar to an on-axis mic
placement.
9. POWER INDICATOR L.E.D. – Indicates when 12VDC electrical power is connected.

POWER SUPPLY, GROUND LIFT AND PASSIVE USE
10. The Power Load™ functions with or without the included 12VDC Power Supply. The reactive load, voicing
switches, level control and fan can operate without any external power supply. So, if you are using an
external Impulse Response or any other type of external speaker simulator, you do not need to use the
power supply. For Passive functionality, use DIRECT OUT 1.
The CAB + MIC emulation section does require the 12VDC power supply. For Active CAB + MIC emulation
functionality, use DIRECT OUT 2.
11. GROUND LIFT – This switch separates the internal circuit ground from chassis and power ground in
order to eliminate possible ground loops between the Power Load™ and other equipment. Select the
position which yields quietest operation.
CONNECTING YOUR AMP
12. AMP IMPEDANCE SWITCH – 2/4, 8 or 16 ohms. This sets the impedance of the internal reactive load for
optimum performance from your amplifier. Simply set the impedance selector switch for the impedance
required by your amplifier.
13. AMP IN – Connect the speaker output from the amplifier that you want to use – the load amplifier – here.
Set the Impedance Select switch to the desired seing to match your amplifier. The total power handling
capacity of the reactive load is as follows:
Amp In (Max Continuous):
200W @ 2, 4 & 16 Ohms.
150W @ 8 Ohms
NOTE: The Power Load™ is fan cooled and the fan will start to spin slowly once the incoming power
level reaches roughly 20 was. The fan speed will increase up to its maximum once you are driving
the Power Load™ to 100 was or more continuously.
14. CAB THRU – This sends the output of your amplifier to your guitar speaker cabinet. The impedance
of the cabinet should match the impedance of the amplifier, and the AMP IMPEDANCE switch on the
Power Load™ should also match the impedance of the amp.
NOTE: Set this impedance to match both the speaker and the load amplifier. Most cabs have a fixed
impedance and you usually have a choice of impedance on your amplifier. Therefore it is best to
choose the amplifier impedance that will match your speaker cab. This will assure that your amplifier
and speaker are matched correctly.
OUTPUT SECTION
15. DIRECT OUT 2: YOUR AMP + CAB + MIC EMULATION - This is your selectable Cab + Mic emulated output.
The Direct Out 2 features a ¼” unbalanced and an XLR balanced low impedance output. This section is
aected by the Cab + Mic emulation, when it is engaged on the front panel.
16. DIRECT OUT 1: PASSIVE, FULL RANGE OUTPUT - This is the sound of your amp, direct, without the Cab +
Mic emulation. The Direct Out 1 features a ¼” unbalanced and an XLR balanced low impedance output.
This section is ONLY aected by the Reactive Load Voicing Switches and Level control on the front panel.
This is designed for direct recording your raw amp performance and can be used with an Impulse Response
digital cab sim or other external speaker simulator for re-amping.
17. PHASE REVERSE SWITCH – Reverses the phase of the audio signal 180 degrees, for the DIRECT OUT 1
outputs only.
REAR PANEL OVERVIEW – CONTINUED

7© 2018 Fryee® Amplification. All rights reserved. Specifications subject to change without notice.
AUX INPUT SECTION
18. AUX INPUT – This input can be used to run preamps or pedals through the CAB + MIC Emulation of the
POWER LOAD. You can also send full range recordings through the POWER LOAD to add the CAB + MIC
Emulation to pre-recorded tracks.
19. AUX LEVEL SWITCH – This switch engages a -10 dB pad on the Aux Input for use with high level or low
level signal sources.
Note: When nothing is plugged into the Aux Input Jack, the Aux Level switch acts as a sensitivity
pad for the front panel level control. This is ideal when running a cranked, non-master volume high-
powered tube amplifier.
HEADPHONE FX LOOP SECTION
NOTE: This is a dedicated eects loop for the headphone out only.
This eects loop does not feed the direct outputs. When using the Power Load™ for live performance or
direct recording, place eects before your amp or aer (using the mixing console inserts or digital plug
ins). (See the sample set up examples in this manual).
20. HEADPHONE JACK – The headphone output is a ¼” stereo headphone output. CAUTION: This professi-
onal-quality headphone amplifier is capable of high sound pressure levels. Use care when seing and
adjusting volume levels during use.
21. PROGRAM INPUT – This is a 3.5 mm input jack for plugging in your MP3 player, tablet, smartphone, CD
player or cassee deck. This input is unaected by the eects loop, global eq, and cab + mic emulation.
This input can only be heard through the headphone output. The program level in the headphones is
determined by the output level control of the device being used.
22. FX RETURN R – High impedance eects return jack for use with external eects processor.
23. FX RETURN L – High impedance eects return jack for use with external eects processor.
24. FX SEND – Sends a buered low impedance mono signal out to your external eects.
