    Syn 50-50 vs Syn 50

    I'm not an expert, but here is what I tested/theorize. I have both the 4x12 and the 2x12. I tried putting a Greenback in the 2x12, but it didn't really sound all that different. I assume because the v30 is likely overpowering it. When I put 4x v30 in the 4x12 vs 2 of each, it does sound very...

    SYN2 noise issue

    Did this just start all of the sudden with no changes? Does it happen with any module? If so, you might need to replace the pre-amp tube in the SYN-2. If it's only a certain module, you might need to replace the pre-amp tubes in that module. Otherwise, check your ground lifts and try turning...

    Synergy amps into audio interface for headphones

    Yes, I wasn't implying the cab sim was always on, just that it's not ideal for headphones (still far more preferable than having it bypassed though). "Marketing nonsense" or not, if it sounds better to me, it sounds better. There's also a reason many prefer the sounds of IR vs only cab sims...

    Synergy amps into audio interface for headphones

    I second Two-Notes stuff. I've used the Captor X and the CAB M+ for headphone use and love both of them. The main 'issue' you'll have trying to use headphones is that the Synergy Direct Out only has a cab sim. To get good/accurate headphone tones, you really need to simulate the cab, power...

    Change Fans in Syn 5050

    I'm pretty sure the fans are at least two speed. There's a low speed mode for idle/low load and a higher speed mode when it starts to get hot. Noctua also doesn't sell any 2 pin fans that I'm aware of, but it's possible you can use a 3/4 pin fan in a '2 pin mode' if that exists. it might just...

    Change Fans in Syn 5050

    Super serious warning. If you aren't experienced with this kind of work, take it to a professional. Even unplugged, these things hold more than enough charge to kill you. With that out of the way, it uses two 40x20mm fans. I believe 4-pin, so you'd want Noctua NF-A4x20 PWM. It's possible they...

    (ENDED) Lots of Synergy Stuff, Bloomington, Indiana

    Sort of. I'm not interested in parting any of it out separately right now though. All or nothing and I move soon, so sale would need to take place asap before I load it all into the moving truck Only exception is the 2x12. I could potentially sell that by itself, but again, wouldn't be looking...

    (ENDED) Lots of Synergy Stuff, Bloomington, Indiana

    I'm getting ready to move across the country. Moving prices are outrageous so I need to downsize all my stuff unfortunately. I'd really prefer to sell all this locally. It's an all or nothing package at this point. Not selling each piece separately. SYN-2 SYN-5050 Synergy 2x12 Cab (maybe)...

    Noob Question for SYN-2

    I can try and help, but I don't have all that similar of a rig. First, when you say bridged mono signal into the SYN-2, how are you doing that? My guess is your problem lies somewhere in how you bridged the signal into the SYN-2. How are your returns wired into the SYN-2 as well?

    Anyone heard any news on anything new coming out???

    I just want a SYN-2 or SYN-4 with a more robust DI out. Built in customizable/loadable IR or cab sims please. Something akin to the Two-Notes in the Revv G/D20 stuff.

    Syn2 valve replacement

    It's just a standard 12AX7 to my knowledge. It would only need to be balanced if the circuit was designed for it to be so (typically advertised as so)

    Is SYN inbuilt cabsim any good?

    Certainly usable, but I typically keep it off for recording and apply my own IR after the fact.

    Boutique Amps Distribution’s LA warehouse hit by fire

    That's awful :( hope everyone was ok. I hope the fire was kind enough to spare all the SLO-100/30 too Bad time for me to have a T/DLX on backorder I suppose.

    New SYN1 Day! 3 Modules - DS VH4 and 800

    You should grab an SLO module before the sale ends... You won't regret it! I grabbed an 800 and T/DXL (back ordered). Can't wait to get them!

    Any tried running independent modules into separate cabs?

    I really wish you could run both modules in parallel /stereo on the syn2. I've been toying with the idea of adding a second as I could easily rig it with my boss es8, but $$$.
