    800 Module: Identical Channels?

    Does anyone know if the 800 module has identical channels? I'm pretty sure the Plexi has two that are the same, just independent volumes and gains. The Bassman and SLO (I think) have two different channels, even though they share EQ. How does the 800 fit in?

    SYN-2 Problems

    Just as I gave my Synergy stuff a play through last week before moving into a new rack, one of my SYN-2 started pooping out. When I switch from the first SYN-2 (master) to the second (slave), it intermittently sounds really fizzy, compressed and about half its normal volume. Seems to do it on...

    SYN-50 Head vs SYN-5050 or other Poweramps?

    I’ve been using my SYN-2s to add channels to my Mesa Mark V. But I want to change that. May even sell that amp. So I’m looking to go more for just Synergy only. Does anyone know any pros or cons of the SYN-50 head vs the SYN-5050 power amp? Also, how does that power amp compare to...

    Synergy Plex vs Metro Plex vs Friedman BE Modules

    I already have the Synergy Plexi module. I use it for the low to mid gain plexi tones. I like the ability to dial it in with the dual volumes (I and II) for each channel. I'm looking to add another Marshall-inspired Marshall for heavier, hot rodded Plexi type tones. I have really never...

    Bogner Modules: Ecstasy vs Uberschall

    In simple terms, how would you compare the core tones of the two Bogner modules? I know they have those pre-boost switches, boost/cut switch and Schizo switch, but I'm talking about the inherent core tone. I've read that the Ecstasy amp's blue channel is based on a souped up Marshall JMP...

    Plexi and JCM 800 Tones on the Ecstasy Module?

    I already have the Plexi module that I like for low (blue channel) to medium-low (red channel) tones. Happy with that. Based on the Ecstasy module web page and owner's manual, it's supposed to be able to cover a range of classic Marshall type tones from the '60s to the '80s. In fact, the...

    Bogner Ecstasy Module Questions/Settings

    Help with Bogner Ecstasy Module. Fast forward to the end if you want to skip my excess verbiage! I've had this module for some time now. But I feel like I haven't really figured it out as well as I should. for context, I have a pair of SYN-2 and with the following: ODS, SLO, Plexi, Ecstasy...

    FS: Synergy SYN-R5 MIDI Controller REDUCED to $89.00

    Selling the five button MIDI controller. Reduced to $89.00 I went with a more complex MIDI setup, so I no longer need this controller just for a SYN-2.

    Different Amp Platform for My Synergy Modules?

    Synergy Advice Question: I currently have five modules that I use in two SYN2 units. So one is always on the sidelines. And my preferred method to date of using these extra eight channels is with a host amp. So they are in the "add channels to your amp" configuration. That amp is a Mesa Mark V...

    Synergy Bogner Ecstasy Module Questions

    I just received my Ecstasy module a few days ago, and I'm a little confused on the front panel switches. I think I now understand how the bright switch works (manual is WRONG!). But I'm not totally clear on the Schizo switch. I know a little from asking questions elsewhere, but I have yet to...

    Clear Explanation of Rear Panel Jacks ???

    In struggling to set up TWO SYN-2 units to ad channels to my combo amp, I realized that the instructions in the manual are a bit confusing. Or maybe I was tired after a long day of staring at my computer screen for work! I just couldn't focus on a solution until I found a helpful post from a...

    Most versatile Marshall type setup with two modules?

    Looking to jump into the Synergy realm, and my goal is Marshall sounds (I already have other amps). I'm hoping to get recommendations here from those that may know. By my count, there are nine Synergy modules that are clearnly Marshall-derived, covering the range from Plex, through hot...

    Plexi vs Metroplex

    Hello, new here. Can anyone please provide any insight on how the Plexi model and the Metroplex model vary? I have a Mesa Mark V and I’m looking to add a Marshall channel in the effects loop. I’m not particularly looking for hot rodded Van Halen Brown Sound or Appetite Slash sound. I’m...
