Synergy - identical Red and Blue channels - do they really sound the same ?

[QUOTE="Telmar, post: 162583, member: 4611"] [B]Some very basic amp designing rules (this is important to understand the Red-Blue-Phenomenon):[/B] - to create more gain, you need more tube stages - to be able to shape the gain structure the way you want, you need more tube stages - you can design a clean channel with one tube stage only (Vox and Fender did it) - for a medium gain amp three stages are enough (cathode follower stage does not count as a gain stage) - for a super flexible high gain monster designer tone you need all five stages (guess why this system has five...) [B]Now that I've explained this basic rules, a thought might crawl into the mind of a careful reader: "If Synergy has a maximum of five stages, what do they use the leftovers for in a medium gain design?" (since you don't need five stages to build a Marshall 800 or AC-30 type of medium gain circuit as I lined out above) GOOD QUESTION ! :geek:[/B] [/QUOTE]
