I bought Telejas Zwreck combo a while back when he was stung by the original Stingray. I've been through at least 50 amps in the last 15 years or so. The Zwreck is the one. I have no doubt. I only play at home though and the volume is a challenge even with the Brake lite. Now I've tried almost every attenuator out there. Money no object. There is nothing that does all the things the Powerstation accomplishes. It retains all the feel and tone of the amp. Gives you some EQ adjustments to shape the signal and allow for the volume curve. Adds a loop between the amp and the speaker for delays and modulation etc. The El Capistan in the loop is magic. And it has two speaker outs so you can send the signal to it at 4-8-16 ohms and come out of the PS with any combination of 2 speakers in 4-8-16 ohms selected by a switch on the back. My Zwreck into two Celestion alnico blues is uncredible. The Drs amps have always been known for their ample output. I wouldn't hesitate to try the loudest of any of them now with this addition. Yes it's a re-amper but it's tube output really makes it a pleasure to use. Theres no debate that playing unattenuated is the best and preferable way to go. For many of us that's just not possible a majority of the time. Being able to get the Zwreck up to that magic place about 2:00 on the volume at TV volume late at night is just gold.

Sounds like my old Wreck is getting some good use! And, yep the Stingray bug still has me pretty content...although, I do find myself quietly looking every time I see a Z-Wreck for sale/trade, seeing if I have anything of interest to offer (besides my Stingray).
GREAT amps (both of them)!

ZWreck is a pinnacle amp...top of the top.

I don't use a daw so I'm not sure what you require. Best bet to check out the Fryette site.
To update this thread a bit, I have since acquired an Airbrake with the bedroom knob. The PS still gets quieter than the Airbrake but... I prefer the feel and tone of the Airbrake at my normal for me volumes around the house. I also appreciate the loop, and the flexible inputs and outputs in the PS.

An air brake with a effects loop, that would be bananas! I would very much so like to see that happen... although I find a most delays or modulation effects I've place in front of the amp sound pretty cool so far. Cheers
