Steve Fryette has some of the best ears in the business. He hasn’t ever made a bad sounding amp. All the Synergy stuff is bulletproof. I can personally vouch that the chassis designs, fit-wise are flawless. Avi, who is the real engine behind this product line is a mastermind at making everything irresistible… I needed more amps like a hole in my head but once I got my Syn 2 and 50/50 and 1st couple of modules I couldn’t stop…I think I have them all now except for this one.
Nice interview hearing about his involvement with this module and synergy. Note to camera operator : turn auto focus off he's not moving much just set focus and leave. Auto focus is pulsing throughout the video,going in and out a bit a little jarring.
It’s cool hearing his history and the history of this project. I just wish the demos done so far were by people who understood the way the Mark’s were dialed in….
Since you said you like a challenge, how about a Synergy module based on the Hughes & Kettner Tri-Amp that Alex Lifeson uses? Or a Billy Gibbons Magnatone? :)
Synergy decides which designs they want developed. The SD60 is a clever design, but the current module architecture would only support the drive channel. Not both.
I can't recommend the Synergy stuff enough. I have a few Marshall and Friedman amps and I wouldn't be using this system if I was sacrificing my tone in any way. Now if I want to add another boutique amp it's a $399 preamp vs. a 3-4K amp head.
I'm pretty sure there is a licensing deal with the original companies/designers when a Synergy unit is sold. There had to be some conversations otherwise Synergy would get slapped with a cease and desist order. I'm sure they are getting their fair cut.
@@scottrrand37 there is a mixture of ""inspired by"" which is branded Synergy and then designed and licenced by the manufacturer which is branded with the manufacturer. It has always been this way.
