Synergy Owners Thread

I just joined the Syn club with a 20IR and a SLO-II. Thus far I'm really enjoying the sounds I'm getting. The SLO-II has so much gain, I haven't found the need to go past 11 o'clock on the gain knob. The clean channel of the 20IR is nice. The ToneKing module is on my radar.
The dislike of el84's is interesting. I don't mind them in my Laney Lionheart. They have a cool compression that works for edge of breakup sounds.
The 20IR is doing something so they sound more open. Thus far I'm happy with the Synergy setup. I'm still honeymooning, but the versatility will likely keep this thing around for a couple of years at least.

That's how I felt with the SLO 30 overdrive channel.

So much gain. But it does influence the thickness of the gain the more it goes up

Quite similar to ecstasy module the more you turn the gain the thicker it becomes

I know this question has been beaten to death but:
Is there a current consensus as to which module(s) have the tightest low end for a 7 string guitar (standard tuning)?

IICP as well, when dialed correctly.

I had that one with my previous Synergy setup and it had the sound. My only issue with it was that the graphic is so tiny it can be hard to get exactly where you want a particular slider. Tiny moves make a big difference.

Speaking of the IICP module; I seem to recall that I've read about some heat issues when this module is used with a SYN-1. Anyone with experience with this combination?

(I have a SYN-1, you see)
