Anybody getting the new Synergy SYN 20IR?

[PBGas]

What modules did you get?

I got the BE DLX and they gave me a free Plex module.

Anybody received these yet and got any feedback? I'm thinking because this thread went dead it is a bust?

I don’t know about a bust, but I’m not buying a 20w EL84 amp sight unseen. I haven’t found one of these near me yet to try. I’m afraid it won’t have enough ass…

If it was 2x EL34 in a 30-50w amp they would have been better off. Just my opinion though.

I would think EL84s would do a better job at not coloring the tone, especially for the cleaner stuff. My JEL20 has plenty of bottom end... some people think it has too much.

I have been considering a Syn 1 before this was announced, still might go that route but the power amp shaping features on the Syn 20 have me interested. It seems the modules can be hit & miss without the right poweramp.

I just found a big thread over on the Rack area of TGP. Seems everyone is loving it.

Seems like something they'd drool over. TGP is all about 20 watts is more than enough and how much does it weigh.

I suspect this is the reason RT isn't overly interested in it. Most of us want our big boy 100 watt amps. It's not about needing to be loud. It's about 100 watters having big iron and tubes that produce the fullness and ballsy tone we're wanting. A puny 20 watt with EL84's just doesn't cut the mustard.

I had a Syn-50 for a while and that thing was a beast. I imagine it’s only a matter of time until they stick an ir loader in that too

The optimist in me would believe that the ones that have the SYN-20IR are too busy playing the damn thing.

They seem to be doing that and posting about it at TGP. It seems they love it. I would have already ordered the one with the Ecstasy module if they were in stock.
