The Syn 30 and 50 have the extra tubes for the various extra functions - Clean Channel (Syn30), Phase inverter (both) and I'm guessing FX loop (both). The actual functionality of the module is the same in all of them - Input stage (in the unit), followed by two tubes worth of stages on the module. That being said there is feel and sound difference depending on the system you use - the preamps will be affected by the power amps, the Syn30 is cathode bias, the Syn50 is fixed bias. They all sound good but you wanna pick the one that works best for you. As far as practicality goes they're all great - infinite flexibility with tones, small, portable, fully midi (except Syn1). Play through a real cab though <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
