I had a simulclass Mark III red stripe and Mark IVb at the same time. I wish I could’ve kept them both. I kept the Mark III because it just sounded a touch bolder. Also the Mark IV had a midrange tone that sounded great when I wanted it, but couldn’t dial it out if I didn’t.

Dimarzio’s double-cream patent is like a bald guy with long hair. Give it up already.

I love the idea of adding a bright switch to the normal channel.

Exactly. With load box and amp switcher options, it's actually the best time to own NMV and classic circuit designs with no loops.

I hope thay have an actual reactive loadbox in there. Not just IRs with power amp sim.

Since it came out ~2002 and has a Raw mode, I’d imagine it’s based off the regular 3 channel Dual Rec . Plus Mesa said it got the Fat and Brit modes from the Road King.

Maybe it’s just the demos I’ve heard, but they all sounded darker/thicker than I was going for.

It’s almost a guarantee that there is an IR feature. 6 LEDs in that row. 2 for channels, 4 for IRs. Just like the Synergy lunchbox amp that’s at NAMM. Ok, that has 1 more, cuz 3 channels.

I mean, I’ve seen worse.

Don’t mind IRs. Don’t like power amp sim.

There is. It’s Friedman’s IR-X tech in there, which has power amp sim of some sort. I’m expecting something similar from Synergy’s preamp system this year as well, since it’s also connected to Friedman.

I think I’ll need to consider that. Don’t seem to live close enough to where the interest is.

Bump

I don’t know how many times I’ll have to realize that I didn’t learn this lesson the last time. Have a MIDI cable for my foot controller, a quality one made by BTPA, that is providing phantom power just fine. But my controller commands stopped registering. Went through confirming MIDI channels...

I’m on Round 2 with Synergy. I had a SYN-2 when it first came out. Tried a few modules that were released with it: T/DLX, Metroplex, DS, and had an older modded-MTS module as well. Loved the idea, but didn’t come away super impressed. So I sold all that, moved onto other dedicated preamps, and...

I ordered a 2204 through Guitars Amps USA. Price included shipping directly to my home.

Yeah, there are a number of controls on it. Loop Gain on the back, along with a line level switch, and then a PostFX control on the front. Heh, it'd take a little time to gain stage that with a preamp system. You mentioned just getting a SYN-50. I actually hadn't thought of that. But I'd like...

My plan would be to run a Synergy SYN in the loop to add two additional preamps. Hopefully the PostFX loop setting is compatible with that. It's got a series / parallel switch too, so I'd imagine it does.

@Bxlxaxkxe Did you ever have the GF SL a the same time as the Badlander? Were they even comparable?

Their news release page just says this: Not 100% sure what they’re trying to say actually. Did they forget a word or something?
