Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mike P" data-source="post: 161511" data-attributes="member: 2263">I had this same exact issue and as it turns out, the SYN-2's weren't designed to be Daisy-chained, which is why you'll lose gain and volume when chaining them together.  I started out with one SYN-2, then when I added a second, I lost a little gain but not much.  By the time I added a third and fourth, the tone completely fell apart.  I couldn't figure it out until I contacted the guys at Fryette.I was told that the only way to keep the gain and tone consistent was to either plug each SYN-2 into its own input channel on my audio interface, purchase a MIDI controller like a Voodoo Labs Hex or GRC or to use a Line Mixer.  I ended up purchasing an ART MX821S and an ART T8 Isolation Transformer box.  Each SYN-2 is plugged into the Isolation Transformer, then to the Line Mixer.  I pan all of the Volume controls to one side, then send the output signal to a Vintech X73, then to my audio interface.  This way, I can take advantage of the tone of the Vintech while using only one channel on my interface (which also means that I didn't have to purchase a Vintech 473).Now, I get all the gain and tone from each SYN-2 unit and the Vintech.  It's awesome.</blockquote>
