I had a SYN2, down graded to a SYN1. With the SYN2 I was constantly swapping modules and comparing them which lead to less playing.
So far my favorites are the Uberschall and IICP. I just got a Dirty Shirley yesterday, still dialing it in, but so far it sounds great and is fun to boost with pedals.
Big fan. I’ve been an oceans user since the first version and upgraded as soon as the 12 was released. The plate, reverse and tremolo are my favorite settings.
Although my MTL is a clone and the Uber I had was the Synergy module, I totally felt the same. I was able to get the synergy module dialed in super close to the MTL clone.
I don't play live. I found it pretty annoying having to adjust the volume every time I wanted to switch between BE and JBE. Plus now I can do the switching via foot switch.
