Very proud D60 owner here! Kicked myself hard for a long time for not getting one when they first launched in 05, then last year I was hawking craigs/reverb/ebay like usual and one showed up for just over a grand in like-new condition,,,,,,,,and even better it was one of the first dozen units from 05, of course with the choke. We made a deal and I no longer have to kick myself to sleep every night.

I had an old D60 as well and loved it. Great bang for the buck back then. I sold it (regrettably) for something but I remember it really making sense at the time. I since have purchased a new revision D120 and really like it as well. I wouldn't mind having an old 60 as well.

Played a Sig:X years ago, and it stands as the greatest amp I've ever played through. I think the Deliverance 2 with the effects loop is potentially my desert island amp.
Typically people either really love them or don't get on with them. They are very honest amps.
Fryette was VHT before he became Fryette.
Not sure of his first product but it was probably a pitbull amp of some variant. All of his stuff is solid and he has also taken over the Sound City stuff. He is legend and knows his stuff, makes a proper product that is built well and handles business. I have nothing but respect for Steve Fryette.
Man I'd love to have one of the new Power Stations (probably the one with the 6550 tubes).
Those things really do it all, and with the whole pedal-platform thing becoming so popular, it's not hard to see why they are having trouble keeping up with the orders.
On the last podcast he really explained well how/why the effects-loop in those is so awesome.

I'm really gassing for the Sound City stuff. (Looks at wallet and available space in the room.). But won't happen soon.
What do you use your PS-2 for the most? It does so much but many just get it for the attenuation/load.
I enjoy it for a the reasons you said but I think I like it most for the line and loop. It can be used so many ways and even if you only used it one of the many ways, it would be worth every penny in my opinion. It is a great piece of gear. I am considering getting the 100 watt version once they become available as I really love the big glass. I do wish the 100 watt could be split into two basic power sections but that isn't possible.
Sure wish I could locate the recent moment on their podcast where he explains why the effects loop is much "cleaner"(my quote, not his) than they always are in a normal tube head.
It had to do with not having to do the whole reduction then make-up gain thing iirc, but he went into detail of course.
I would love to hear the whole thing. Fryette is a living legend in my opinion as is Egnater. Steve has designed and helped design a lot of things for other companies along with his own stuff. His power amps have always been first class and of course his amps are awesome as well. He has a revised Ultra Lead in the works that I am looking forward to getting.
