Awesome! I bought a SYN50 head and over the years I have accumulated about a dozen preamp modules. Every one of them sound fantastic. I guess that’s to be expected when you have Stephen Fryette, Dave Friedman, Mike Soldano, Bruce Egnator, and Morgan all working with Synergy. If I could only have one amp, this would be it. Unmatched flexibility.

[MywnSavir]

What a perfect review. Explained everything i wanted to know. Man this is going to make me switch back from plugins and my helix to an amp.

[kendallh]

I own that module and the green channel and red channel on that module are actually identical. The crunch and lead switch on this module is the true channel switch. Some modules have identical channels and some dont. This module lets you have two lead or two crunch channels or one crunch and one lead.

I have a SYN 1 and a SYN 50 and almost all their high gain modules. Love it.

[CorrosiveMatter]

Mine will be here tomorrow with the Solo II and the Savage mods, can't wait!

[ithebastardking]

Believer of the synergy system since day 1. Awesome you’re enjoying it too, to bad I’ve have to wait 12-15 weeks till the syn20ir hits the stores in europa.

[pimpyohthrash]

I was waiting for these. Just ordered mine and 4 modules.

[angelorasmijn]

Was kind of waiting for this in my studio!
But a few months ago I bought the ENGL E658 Steve Morse Signature 20.
Really happy with it and can’t wait to combine it with my Grossmann Fatbox, which should delivered the 11th of March! 😊

[DougGarrett]

I'm tempted to get one of these with the Bogner Uberschall model. Great demo!

[michaelj.anderson]

I can't wait to get one of these. The 6505 is the first module I'll get also.

[VoojoWorks]

Great demo, such a killer amp! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[johnfinlay]

Wow, what a great amp. Think i saw Ola demoing the 50 watt . Killer concept of all the different modules for these things . Thanks again for another awesome video Jon . 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[victorvaldenegro]

Synergy amps are amazing! I have the Syn-1 along with the Friedman BE/BB, Bogner Ecstasy and the Freyette Deliverance modules. I will be upgrading to the Syn 20IR. Killer system!

[enricobenvenuto]

Hi John! this new format of yours in which you play and change parameters in real time is fantastic! please make more🤟🤟

[HighImpaktAudio]

Awesome video Jon! I didn't realize that you haven't checked out the Synergy stuff until now haha. Really glad you're enjoying it! It's one of my favorite systems 😄

[patricekrzeminski]

Fabulous demo, thank you! I would love to see a tone comparison with the original amp. Good times!

[SourceCodeVortex]

Just bought one with a Fireball module.. man I love it, going into a Hesu 4x12, Two Hesu Demon and 2 Dv-77 Micj Thomsons.. Might experiment with 2 green or redbacks. My favorite amp yet, because i can use my Pitball, 6506 and Bogner modules. Now we can approach that gigantic collection on your wall and still travel a bit. lol

[imhatchmantoo]

That was some baller rock n roll bro 😂🎉 you make me fall in love with all these amps.

[TheOtherJohnBrowne]

This little amp has no business sounding this huge! Great video as usual, Jon. I have G.A.S. now

[LonelyRocker]

What a great concept! And what a great solution for a home studio if you want to record REAL tones. Sounds killer!!!
