I’ve had an MTS rig for at least the last 13 years and my RM100 finally bit the dust a few weeks ago, so I’m going to have to upgrade to a Synergy rig at some point. I don’t know if I should get 2 syn-2’s and a power amp, wait for a 4 module bay Syn-100 to eventually come out, or to hook up a Syn 2 to a completley new amp?
Back in the day, I had something like 30 modded modules, 4 RM100’s and an RM20 combo. I regret selling a few of the preamps, namely the Salvation Custom 3++, Salvation Terrier, Jaded Faith Douchey Douchbag (it was custom made for me and my sense of teenage humor).
I currently have the 8 preamp modules. The Synergy SLO is my go-to module. My old go-to module was my Salvation Rockerverb clone. Oddly enough, in my RM100, they occupied the same tonal space. The SLO is just more playable.
I have a Salvation CCV clone and it’s been my high-gain marshall preamp. I’d actually like Synergy to offer a high gain 800 module which is absent from the lineup.
The Mark series preamp nails that gainy Boogie tone -though low-gain Santana-ish tones are missing. Which is my only gripe with it.
My Jaded Faith Snakebite is a hybrid of a Framus Cobra and Dragon. Its the most versatile module I own. I can dial it in soooooo many different ways.
My Synergy T/DLX is my clean module. I use it for cleans and as a pedal platform.
The Vai module doesn’t get played a lot and I’m probably going to sell it at some point. Its too bassy and sounds more like a fuzz pedal.
Lastly is my Synergy Fryette Deliverance. When I got it, I hopped on the Synergy Facbook page to thank Steve for making such a cool module!!! I’ve been using it as my low-gain marshall style preamp and it had tone and headroom for days and days!!!!!
