Synergy experience

[romanianreaper]

No, mine is dead quiet.. looks like you got this taken care of though. I love the bottom end of the SLO.. it really thumps through my Friedman ported 1x12.

The sound cones and goes but was quite a bit yesterday and figured i probably should just make sure there are no issues.

While I doubt I’ll ever give up my Cherry Bomb and I love my Mark III+, I think the Synergy stuff is top notch!

I have a ton of experience with the Randall and Egnater modular stuff, including a lot of the modded modules, I think the Synergy system is a definite step up.

I own the Syn 50 and like it quite a bit bit as the platform. For modules, my three go to’s are the Drect, the Pitbull and the Cali. I have also kept the 6505, VH4 ( somewhat of a surprise because I didn’t get along with any of the real amps that I owned) and the BE DLX. Have owned pretty much all the high gain modules and these fit me best. The IIC was cool too, but I have that ground more than covered with the III+.

awesome brobro and good points. for me synergy is a great way to get a customized clean to filthy rig under one roof, but it sure is nice to flick on my III or Peacemaker from time to time.

I ordered another 20IR this morning and going to send the other one back since I'm getting that noise. I'm sure it is just a tube but with it being new, I didnt want to send it to Synergy or try to diagnose it myself, etc.

I am really getting some killer tones with this thing and so impressed. I'm running into an Orange 1x12 and haven't even played thru my Orange V212 yet.

Definitely getting a Marshall JMP module next.

cool!
like i mentioned in my first post i had intermittent tube issues with my syn-2 and DS module right out of the gate and probably should have done what you did but i had spare tubes and just dealt with it myself.

I'm excited to get the JMP! I was going to trade the SLO-II for the JMP but I dig it and figured I'll just snag another module, lol.

and so it begins…

a good strat and the BMAN would easily get in that realm.

i tried with both the egnater module and the synergy one but could never seem to get it to break up just how i wanted it to.

it was either too brash or too boomy when i tested them out. the best clean amp i ever played was a 66 blackface bassman and the best low/mid gain amp tweed style amp was a 59 tweed bassman 4x10. hard to beat!!

Soon I'll be selling modules tucked underneath my trenchcoat on the streets.....

Honestly I bet if you took a Bman module and put a good EQ after it to keep the character but more surgically tame the brashness and boom, it would probably get you about as close as anything could.
