Welcome to the family!
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the
FRYETTE
SIG:X Guitar Amplifier!
We know you are constantly searching for new sounds and new ways to improve your existing sound. We
understand the constantly evolving nature of artistic creativity and the search for the perfect sound to
complement your ever-widening musical vision. Providing the tools to help you create your own sonic signature
is our primary mission.
The SIG:X amplifier represents a new generation of tube amplifier design, offering players effortless and
intuitive control over different types of amplifier behavior and a wide range of highly refined tonal qualities
previously unavailable from a single amplifier.
In 1980, design engineer Steven Fryette began developing advanced channel switching technology to allow
guitarists the ability to make seamless transitions between channels and gain modes. In 1989 Steven
introduced the first true three-channel tube amplifier – The Pittbull Classic. The SIG:X builds on this technology
and establishes a new standard for channel switching amplifiers that blends vintage and modern character with
outstanding tonal flexibility.
As with all FRYETTE amplifiers, the SIG:X amplifier beautifully accentuates the inherent qualities of any
instrument. It breathes and dynamically responds to your playing technique exactly the way a great guitar amp
should. And as stomp boxes have gained more widespread appeal, you will find the SIG:X to be pedal friendly
and ultra-responsive to the many colors pedal effects produce.
Getting familiar with the SIG:X amplifier is easy, so don’t be terribly surprised when you find yourself up and
running in no time. First hand experience and real world application will yield the ultimate satisfaction of finding
your own path to comprehension and self-expression.
