Synergy JMP not blowing me away

[Dave L]

EL34's through my RM100 ( lynch box ) into one side of a stereo 1960 A with V30/G12T75 in the room. My GB cab is in a cab closet with mics on it so have been playing through a 1960 which sounds really good with my jcm800 heads so I can't understand it.

Do you like the RM100 with other modules? Not be a bummer, but when I had a Lynchbox I wasn´t really digging the power section compared to some other heads I had at the time, and I did understand why there were a few aftermarket upgrade kits/mods floating around.

I'm not making the same mistake I made on my first Synergy-go-round.

I treat the modules the same as any head. Lower the gain, and hit with OD pedals.

To me.. THE MARSHALL sound is with an OD in front. I've preferred all my Marshalls with OD.

I have owned a Sn2 since they first came out. I have BB-BE and a BE-DLX modules running through an old Tubeworks stereo head that has 4 6L6 power tubes, it runs into a 4x12 loaded with 4 Scumback M65 speakers. I probably don't know how to dial it in, I cannot get the clean tone to be loud enough to use live. Overall, when I tried going direct to the board, I did not like the way it sounded. When the I-RX came out I bought one and that is all I use live. It has that modded Marshall tone I like and sounds decent direct. Maybe some day I will learn how to dial in the synergy stuff, for now the I-RX is the ticket.

Yes! It sounds really good with external tube preamps and a few of the modules I have and like. I have the foglifter installed for the power section but i find myself just going back to stock a lot. I don't know what it is, just feels noisy with that pre and not that full.
