In addition to attenuation, it can also be used to do the opposite; taking a small amplifier and beefing it up with more volume, big amp punch, and extra headroom. It's also great as a clean, transparent power platform for modelers or other preamplifiers. If that isn't enough, the Power Station comes with the handy addition of an effects loop, which is invaluable when using it with a vintage amp that doesn't have one. Fryette's Power Station does an awful lot of things very well, adding incredible flexibility to a rig of any size, making its 599-dollar price tag seem more than reasonable.
