Tube power amp for synergy syn-1

[frenchmelodymaker]

Hi all, I have my syn-1 plugged in the fx loop of my vox av30 and my synergy ecstasy sounds quite fizzy when I turn the module volume up. I also have an empty celestion subwoofer cab that I want to mod. So I just need a power amp. I am a bedroom/small gig player, the mooer tube engine is my best bet with 20w but it’s quite pricey for what it is. Are there any other alternative or does anybody know how to build a tube power amp ?

I use the KSR PA-50 which is a mono 50 watt amp. Supports EL34 or 6L6. Bias adjustment on the front. Has bass, presence and the all import negative feedback adjustment so you can really dial the power amp. On top has a hi-fi switch that brightens up the overall tone of the amp (great for certain modules). You won't beat it for finding the right tone with synergy, just wish it was rackmount.

I use a Fryette Power Station.

They are quite expensive, I wish they were around $500 used but seems like nobody regrets buying these haha, my wallet is just deep enough for the mooer tube engine and seems like it’s my best bet for my budget

If you're buying used, check out the Carvin T100 (EL34) or TS100 (EL34/6L6).

So they PS2 is worth the money probably Might be worth saving up for if it's realistic. It'll be a piece of gear that long outlasts the Mooer as well.

Yes it worth , it s much more than a power amp . Some don t like the sound of this power amp because he is pretty flat , uncolored but great for synergy stuff , fractal audio , modeling in general .

Ok thanks, yeah I think I’ll save more money for the PS2, used it will surely be close to my budget
