[QUOTE="Killstring, post: 161793, member: 4435"] Hi everybody! I'm looking to break into the Synergy ecosystem: this would be for recording purposes, so I doubt any of these amps are going to see a speaker. The question I have is, do these amps sound any different? I mean, the Syn-30 has 4 x 12ax7s in it. Cool, it's got an onboard clean. But the Syn-50 has 3 of 'em, and no onboard channel - that's just something the preamp modules are interacting with. Conversely, the Syn-1 and Syn-2 don't have any onboard valves, yeah? So I guess my question is, has anybody noticed a significant tonal difference? Or are those extra valve stages used for like, phase inversion, effects loop buffering, etc? Two valves seems like not much for cascading gain stages, right? But everybody says the SLO-100 module is on point, so maybe I'm overthinking this? The preamps would be running into a Two Notes CAB M, I think. Just weighing the practicality of a Synergy setup vs. something like the Mesa Badlander, Engl Powerball SE, or Revv G20. I've never seen this stuff in the wild where I can try it, so I'm assuredly overthinking. So any input is welcome! [/QUOTE]
