SYN20-IR / RD Module Bundle

All-Tube Head – 20 Watts – 3-Channel Preamp Module Platform Amp – IR Equipped

The SYN-20IR utilizes Synergy’s patented all-tube modular system, allowing you to quickly and easily swap preamp modules to endlessly expand your tonal palette. The SYN-20IR is the world’s most flexible, convenient, and tonally versatile all-tube amplifier head. The amp’s built-in vintage American-style clean channel coupled two additional channels from your favorite Synergy preamp module, makes the SYN-20IR a three-channel tonal beast ideal for every player, every style, and every situation.

Each all-tube, two-channel module is equipped with dual 12AX7s and features the exact preamp circuitry as the legendary amplifier it is based on. In most cases the SYNERGY module offers more features in comparison to the amp itself. The Synergy engineering team painstakingly works with each brand partner to design modules that achieve the most accurate tonal representation of their famous amplifier model.

NEXT-LEVEL POWER AMP CONTROL

The SYN-20IR offers unique controls for STRUCTURE and REACTANCE that tailor the response of the amp’s all-analog power section. The revolutionary STRUCTURE feature optimizes the head for any channel by offering three distinct power amp configurations and feedback which are assignable to each of the amp’s channels. The STRUTURE feature significantly alters the overall contour and feel of the SYN-20IR.

There are three Structure modes to choose from:

• Mode A: Balanced negative feedback for a clear yet punchy sound
• Mode B: Vintage style phase inverter with relaxed mids and a bright, shimmering high end.
• Mode C: Modern HiFi style phase inverter and low negative feedback resistor delivers a modern, tight feel with solid lows and a darker high end.

REACTANCE is similar to a presence knob, but with a dynamic response and variable phase inverter which simultaneously shapes the middle and treble frequencies. This powerful control helps tailor the sound to your chosen module and Structure setting.

3-BUTTON MIDI FOOTSWITCH – MIDI CONTROL

The SYN-20IR includes an easy-to-use 3-button MIDI footswitch that lets you save and access any combination of channels, amp structures and onboard IRs. With the tap of your toe, you can, for example, switch from your module’s high-gain crunch with a 4×12 IR and Structure Mode C to the amp’s onboard clean channel through a vintage 1×12 IR and the open-sounding Structure Mode A.

You can also connect external MIDI switchers and controllers, giving you access to up to 128 user-created presets. The included Synergy Editor Software makes it easy to assign and organize your presets for maximum flexibility.

SYNERGY EDITOR SOFTWARE

The included Synergy Editor Software unlocks the Syn-20-IR's full potential. Connecting via a standard USB jack, you can easily assign different IRs and Structure for your amp and module channels, load and organize your IR library, save up to 128 MIDI presets, and tailor your power amp simulation via the assignable Low-Pass and Low-Pass filtering. It's all available within the software's streamlined and easy to use interface.

  Two distinct shades of British gain. Two identical, fully independent channels. One remarkably flexible all-tube module.
  
  Some amplifier designs are recognized as much by their sound as by their unmistakable color. The Synergy RD module captures two of the most revered British high-gain voices ever created, delivering everything from muscular rock crunch to thick, saturated modern gain.
  
  Designed for Synergy’s all-tube modular preamp system, the RD features two identical channels, each capable of delivering two distinct British gain personalities.
  
  Whether you’re chasing articulate hard rock rhythm tones, crushing modern metal, or soaring lead sounds, the RD delivers the signature grind, punch, and harmonic richness that have made these circuits favorites on stages and in studios around the world.
  
  Like every Synergy module, the RD is engineered to capture not only the tone, but the feel, touch sensitivity and responsiveness that inspire players every time they plug in.
  
  
  
  ROCK AND DARK BRITISH VOICES
  
  In ROCK mode, the RD delivers the instantly recognizable voice of a modern British rock amplifier - tight, aggressive and remarkably articulate. From thick classic rock crunch to singing lead tones, it offers exceptional note definition while retaining the bold midrange punch and authority that have made this style of amplifier a modern favorite.
  
  In DARK mode the RD transforms into an entirely different beast. The gain structure becomes thicker, darker and more saturated, with a heavier low end and a more compressed feel that’s equally at home delivering crushing rhythm tones, doom-inspired textures and fluid, sustaining lead tones.
  
  Each channel features a three-position Bright switch, allowing you to fine-tune the high-frequency response. Whether you need extra bite, a smoother response or something in between, the Bright switch makes dialing in the perfect top end quick and intuitive. Independent Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Volume controls on both channels provide complete tonal flexibility.
  
  Because each channel is completely independent, the RD can function like two amplifiers in one. Dial in complementary rhythm and lead sounds, create vintage and modern variations of the same voice or build entirely different gain structures that are instantly available at the flip of a switch.
