Just ordered it. A couple weeks ago I was watching a Ben Eller vid and I was almost certain that I saw one of these loaded up in a SYN-2 behind him. Have been keeping a really close eye out for them ever since.
 
Really thinking about selling what I have and going this route. I just wish the new head wasn't EL84s. Unless Dave Friedman was involved. His EL84 amps are the only high gainers I've thought sounded good.
 
There is nothing easier than connect 20IR to some other amp or poweramp if You need more horsepower.
I am really tempted for 20IR although I had SYN-2, SYN5050 and SYN50 which I maybe have till today if it didin't have terrible ghost note around E/F note.
 
That thing sounds really, really good. And it's versatile too.

Welp that just about does it. Looks like it's finally time to start building a Synergy rig.

it's become my go-to rig. If we're not playing a big stage, my Synergy rack stays home and the 20IR and a 112 is the answer. Sounds great, IR loading is a no-brainer. Honestly it's loud enough for almost any gig I play.
 
Finally a proper Marshall module with some cut and teeth. Really like the spank of the cleans on this one and the fact that it sounds like they have gained it up a little more - almost halfway to the "modified" series gain. When cranked, it also gets that exploding sound. I have a Synergy Friedman Plexi and for me, it lacked the cut so this is very welcome. Really 2 modules in one with the clean and Marshall edge of breakup. I will def order one of these when they become available to us canucks. Throw this in my Lynchbox with big boy glass and looking forward to hearing it. So far they are really pushing this 20 watter that i have no interest in.

If Marshall is smart, they will keep going with this and release this in pedal format like the Friedman pedal IR line. Also, while they are at it.. they should release a 1 watt JMP!
 
I also noticed on Synergy's website they removed the 800 model. I wonder if that means an official Marshall JCM 2203/04 module might be in the works as well.

I'd guess yes.. probably an 800 with "Modified" switches to make use of the extra switches they already have built in to their template. Could be pretty awesome.

I've got the SYN20IR and a Friedman JEL20. I love the Synergy as much if not more (because of the variety) as the JEL. I've had 100 watt and 50 watt heads and playing at the home volumes I use, I can't tell a difference.

That is one I'd definitely get. I've got the two Mesa modules waiting at home in a box right now though.

Good to know. Thanks!
 
All of the videos I saw today sounded really good. I will wait for a more modern high gain Marshall module that hopefully they will do. This sounds great for 60's and 70's though.

How about the opposote, and getting the Friedman IR line in a rack format? 😁
 
I've been waiting for this since it got leaked. Super cool, might be the push I finally need to jump in to Synergy.

Hoping to see a JCM module with 800/900 switches, and a Silver Jubilee module as well!
