Very cool did you buy in Canada
I was thinking of the SLO 2 but too be honest the Freidman has been more impressive in the clips

That is a great deal unfortunately they don’t have the BE DLX
I had the SLO 2 but I returned it as it wasn't for me - from the general consensus around here it hasn't gone down well as the original SLO module .
Once returned I got the BE DLX (I was also replacing the Friedman IR-X) and for me it is a good match - straight ahead rock sound and good tightness. (the SLO 2 wasn't very tight even with the tight engaged)

Nope! Stang is a solid store though, no question!
The only place I buy from for brands not at my store is Diffusion Audio. I've been dealing with Andy for almost 20 years.
so far...really enjoying the new amp and modules!
Lots of great ways to set it up for live and rehearsals.

Well....mine has developed an issue. Hoping it is just a one off. I would fix it myself but I don't want to affect any warranty issues.
The return jack is emitting an annoying noise when you wiggle the cable. The send jack is fine and no noise. I've done my due diligence and used a few other cables to test and the same thing.
It is probably a solder joint on the pc board that is bad or the jack itself may be compromised.
Hopefully they will give me a solution in due time for this. I let my retailer know and sent them a video of the issue and they have confirmed and contacted Synergy/BAD.
Just waiting it out now.
No worries though...got plenty of other tone generators to use!

Man, wish they'd do a SYN50IR, single module unit like the 20W but with big iron & big bottle tubes.

I'd rather have the dual module but with the improvements of the 20IR.
A syn1/2 with the power amp simulation and air loading would be a winner for some.

I think a large chunk of the guitar community is just done with the under-powered heads that don’t hold up at full rip with a band. There are guys that are digital only, and guys that are amp-only, and some that love both. I would think the mini-tube heads that don’t do digital and don’t hold up with a band are probably a shrinking demographic. The ones that are small and have digital capabilities like this one will still sell though.

I think it depends the MT15 w 6l6 is damn loud
The Engl FB25 w KT77 is damn loud
If you could do a 30/40 watt Syn with 6l6s and bigger iron it would be more than enough

The MT15 is great for the price, is amazing recorded, and is awesome at moderate and fairly loud volumes, but as with any other low wattage amp the bass falls apart at higher volumes. The 50w Victory Kraken MK2 is a superior amp in a similar form factor, but it is $1k more. I've owned both and think they're both great, but I kept the Kraken.
