Synergy module QC nosediving?

We're working on it!

Which is the whole point of the system.
Yeah it was for me, and so became frustrating. If there's just one or two modules you're going to use and you buy a suitable chassis it works well, although a great power amp is still critical.

I think this often gets overlooked because 'the preamp is doing all the work'. More accurately, the preamp in modern amps is usually providing most of the distortion - just one component of the overall sound. The power section has an obvious and important tonal affect, and influences the feel and response significantly.

Soon... I hope!

Yeah that's why I decided to not go the Synergy route. I knew I'd need at least two module slots because I knew I would get annoyed if I have to switch modules all the time.

It's best as a "build your own amp" system instead of "analog modeler".

2 modules still gets you 4 channels, which is why I went with the Syn 2. I find I don’t change the modules out often but it’s nice to have a few different sounds available and it’s just a quick 20 second swap to get to the next module.

That’s why I snagged the 50w head. Two channels of Killer Kali for my gain channels, one Fender Twin for cleans, and one Deluxe for the light gain stuff. I will probably get others at some point, but this and Axe-FX for the effects covers all my gigging needs pretty well.

Yep and if you snag two DRECT modules you basically have a 50w 4 channel Dual Rectifier. They don’t advertise this but with the gain rolled down low the vintage channel makes an excellent clean and the modern channel makes an excellent pushed clean. This gives you every mode from the Dual Rec except for Raw, and who uses Raw anyway?
 
Not surprised. Very cool unit and the concept is really neat but my Syn-20 was malfunctioning from new. The loop was broken and nothing in the way to exchange for a new one. I just sent it back.

Just as my fave on the MkV is crunch, raw or as it was called on the T-verb Blues with a SD1 was my go to for years.

The concept was great when Egnator came up with it, just as it was when Seymour Duncan had done it with the convertible.

Even when Randall had bought it it was cool.

As for BAD I said before I’m no fan.
One thing to keep that sour taste iirc the IR loader they put into their amps is also the one in the Fryette GPDI IR and that thing is about as bullet proof as a gym sock.

Literally every two days I got to power cycle the thing for it to come back to life.

Are you saying the Tremoverb blues mode is the same as the raw mode that came later on the 3 channel rectifiers?

I’ve never heard that before, just curious what your source is?

I’m saying that it’s close enough to go from one to the other without being bothered by it.
