I have one backordered as well. I am interested in figuring out the power amp piece with a syn1. I wasn’t convinced by the Syn 20 IR power amp features
 
Interested in this module! Waiting to hear some thoughts on this from you guys / girls before I pull the trigger. I must say that I'm impressed with the Uberschall module and I'm thinking of getting this for my second module. Running this through my KSR PA50 into a 4x12 sounds great!
 
This is the most interesting Synergy module I've heard yet. Sounds great.

Seems like the company is getting more popular all the time. Cool.

Just ordered my module from Sweetwater should be here Monday. Going to try in my Randall set up for now and possibly get the 20IR head when they are back in stock.
 
It sounds killer!!
Jer, you handled that like a pro, I’m not sure where that idiot thought he was but he did not help himself by acting like a cunt with a firehose
 
I haven't been tempted at all to try the Synergy Killer Kali based on the clips I've heard so far. The John Browne demo had him saying how cool it sounded but I just wasn't feeling it. Surprisingly it was the Tone Wars guy that put out a clip that sounded Killer to me. The part before he dimed the gain and then boosted it. :LOL:
Lots of tight gritty gain in his clip. I dig it. Must be partially due to the fact that he was wearing regular sneakers and not those funny slippers he always seems to wear. :LOL:

My opinion is the Syn1 (or Syn2) into the head of your choice is the way to go. Granted the head will need an effects loop, but in my Synergy saga I've found that the power amp plays a huge role in the overall tone, much more than I anticipated.

Most of us have at least a couple heads with different power sections, so it's convenient to mix things up tone wise using the Syn1. If you use the same power amp with all your modules, they really all start sounding the same, I shit you not!

Half of the magic is in the poweramp and how it interacts with the cabinet load.

John Browne’s videos are odd in that about half of them sound really good and the other half sound like they were recorded with a telephone and played back through an AM radio.

Hell of a player though.
 
Have they figured out the fitment issues raised in other groups/threads?

Bingo. I much prefer a preamp/poweramp all in one compared to preamp/poweramp separate for this exact reason. You can get way more punch without the extra necessary level buffering for low noise.

I have started watching both John Browne’s videos these past weeks trying to get more perspective on what modules I might want to try with my rig. The original John Browne, not the other one lol, to me goes through a lot of modules that sound so similar to his comparable modules in the same video that it is either what Meeotch is describing with using the same power amp for everything or just a reminder that sometimes there is such a thing as too much unusable gain and excessive palm muting that when used, weakens the overall destinction between modules. Only my opinion.

I'm at the point that if I need to A/B two amps/tubes/pickups whatever, then the differences really don't matter. My brain is going to try and dial them in the same anyway.

A lot of the modules do sound similar through the same poweramp and cab. They do feel different though, which doesn't come through in videos.

I have 8 high gain modules, and I like them all for different reasons.
