« Master built »

FRyette is a company that has change their name in recent years. They used to be VHT but some legal battle has now changed their Name to Fryette. Say great amplifiers and cabinets but with just a simple name adjustment. No big deal at all.

Hwt makes this different then the regular build Fryette Pittbull is that each solder joint and every inch of the amp is combed over with a fine tooth. Even Steven Fryette personally plays the amp to ensure satisfaction. This is $300 up charge and I feel is probably worth the extra money. I have never heard any complaints of customer service from the fellas over at Fryette and from testimonies from many people on the internet they are an amazing company.

SOUNDS

I have to say this is one of the baddest amp on the planet. this amp covers so much style ground and musical genres that is makes most amps look like toys. The appearance of this amp may be intimidating to some people thinking it is only a metal amp. This amp is just as every bit as versatile as a Bogner XTC or a Diezel VH4.

Tye lows on this amp are amazing. They are very tight and unforgiving, but also extremely dynamic. The notes just respond so sensitively to your fingers touch. And the gain on this amp is out of this world huge. Not to mention their speaker cabinets are some of the best in the business. They are perfectly voiced to match the goliath sound from these amps.

OVERALL OPINION

AT new these amps come in at around $3799, which is a lot of money for most people including myself. However, this is a professionals amplifier. This is also for someone who has been playing boutique amps for a while and can't seem to lock down his or her tone. this could be your amp if you like a tight riffing amp for metal and basically every style of music.
