I've seen this on my multiple syn2s now (5 so far I've owned). There seems to be a headroom issue with them. Hitting the strings hard generates a cracking noise that sounds like digital clipping. I know it's analog gear, just describing the sound. This is with any module I've tried, Synergy or Salvation and with high and medium output pickups. I thought it might be the module gain but even w tdlx blue channel with a 12at7 in the first module tube slot and gain almost off, it still happens. I'm thinking it's happening before it hits the module, either the Syn2's tube or gain before or after that. Nothing else is in the chain before or after the docks other than a guitar in front and power amp following. I thought about sticking at7s in the docks' tube slots but that will change the sound of every module. Any ideas would be appreciated
