Synergy experience

[CarlF]

sounds like a great reason to hook the X88ir to the Syn SLOII with the 4CM unless you’re dead set on keeping the two rigs discreet.
but hard to imagine needing the SLO II and X88ir in the same rig! animal!

It’s just the way things worked out on my recent purchase frenzy!
I got the Synergy rig, and then I had second thoughts, and also got the X88IR rig, so I have to sell Soldano types of amps.
Yeah, I keep all the rigs separate.

As someone who had never used an SLO before, i've been pretty impressed with the tones i'm getting. Does a great ACDC at lower gain and has a nice grind at higher gain. Like I said before, definitely benefits from a boost pedal IMO but i'm sure the original amp is like that.

I don't see myself using a ton of modules. With my Orange Dual Baby, I have one tone I use. The clean channel is great on the 20IR and perfect with some reverb and delay.

I'm pretty sure I'll dig the JMP Marshall since I use that type of tone. For heavy stuff, I'm sure the Bogner would blow my mind.

Is going to be interesting seeing where I go with the Sunergy stuff. I can see myself getting a Syn-2 and using it in the near term with my Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 and eventually upgrading to a tube power amp. I need to figure out how I want to use this.

For those of you who have the 20IR, do you occasionally get crackling and some hum? I figured it is the tubes warming up but wasn't sure if it is preamp or power tubes.

I think I am going to return my 20IR for a replacement. I'm getting some crackling and noise that is coming and going and being a tube amp owner in the past, I know it is a pream0 or power tube.

I'd swap it out myself but Synergy's manual makes it sound like you'll do 40 years at Rikers Penetentary if I open the case, lol. I just got it so better to send it back and get a replacement now rather than sending it to Synergy.

Even with that noise, this amp and the SLO II module rock!! I had my Griffin pedal and my Keeley Andy Timmons both set as boosts and was unreal the chug I was getting.

The SLO II is one I dont have that I have been curious about, but not sure if it would be different enough from the 6505 to have both.

ain’t gonna lie…the X88 looks mighty cool!

being an unapologetic rack guy i like what this guy was dialing in with his
