SYN1 Tabletop Preamp - One Module Slot Review

Absolutely Amazing

I never write reviews but I feel like this thing warrants my time. The SYN1 paired with the uberschall module is simply outstanding and I feel it probably the best low level music investment I have made to date! I'm running it into my 101b effects loop and sounds fantastic. No regrets here other than I should have bought it sooner. I think this thing has ended My amp search!

Synergy SYN1 single module dock

Impressive design and build, weighs over 11lbs, heavy, nice construction, once hooked up the Synergy modules have literally reinvented the "wheel". This line of amplification is genius, best sounding, well made, expansive, best rig ever! I got two SYN1's waiting on dual dock shipment. Glad I did, I am not hauling my rig around these days and my two SYN's Velcro on my rack just no… read more problem using them. I have one slaved to the other which is pretty confusing with the utter lack of detailed information Synergy seems to love. I figured it out with a little experimenting. One unit keeps the other one from coming on as to not have two massive amp tones coming down to the power amp line. You footswitch one on and bypass the other switch your channels or switch modules as you like. Works fantastic, utterly dead quiet. You can get a slight hiss from intense gain if you really crank something but I have no issue as I seldom run a gain past 1:00, don't need to. Modules are all amazing guys, and they all do sound different. I got the Fryette Pitbull and Bogner Ecstasy and I would be hard pressed to say which I like more. Just incredible. Accolades to SYNERGY! Just a couple requests, out side of more modules and gear; please update manuals with much more detail and insight into use and seriously chaps how about some stickers with the gear, hats and T-shirts, good for you, good for us. Big fan of my new Synergy gear!!!

Synergy SYN1 Tabletop Preamp

very easy to hook up to power amp .plug in module and rock out . Bought the Engl Savage and it sounds great running through a Marshall 9000 power amp. I also like the direct out to my interface . Can't wait to try out the different modules

Very Happy

If you want my full enthusiasm, check out my review on the DS module. In short ... wanted to upgrade from my direct to board digital model world. I enjoyed the ease of that sphere, but ... I missed a clean tube sound! I have only recently discovered this system. It works so very, very well as a replacement for my current digital setup. I have nothing but good things to report.… read more I am sold on this concept ... and, of course The Friedman DS is awesome. Clean to Cream. It feels quality, it sounds quality and it is a chameleon.

Totally worth it!

I really like this system. It is yet another gateway drug for the tone addict. I've owned other modular rigs in the past and this setup seems more mature. This is a nice addition to my collection of amps and my Kemper. I purchased the TDLX, Bman, Dirty Shirley, Metropolous Plexi and the Morgan modules. I like them all, but my favorites so far are the Morgan and Dirty Shirley.… read more The sag control is very useful and the effects loop is very high quality. Thus far, I have only used it plugged directly into a tube power amp and a 4x12 cabinet. I look forward to trying different cabinet and module combinations.
