Having to get up, unplug everything, and plug everything in to the next amp you want to record takes up time and energy that you could be putting into playing the parts. There is a flow you should strive to achieve which does not inhibit creativity. When recording, the last thing you want to do is make the process harder for yourself. Say you were handed a dream studio and all the boutique amplifiers you could dream of, and it is now time to sit down and start recording your next hit. As soon as you start moving around traditional amplifiers and switching things up you instantly begin to question your life choices. All together there are fourteen different cartridge options to utilise, each sold separately.Ĭartridges take up very little space and you can lift them without risking a hernia. Each cartridge has a specific amplifier pre amp that can be loaded into the Synergy SYN1, a unit that allows you to utilise your existing amplifier or plug directly into your interface to obtain the sounds of boutique amps at none boutique prices. Introducing Synergy, a cartridge based system that allows you to have a smorgasbord of amplifiers that could easily fit into a suitcase. Better yet, maybe there is now a way to achieve this amplifier lovers Shangri-la without all the aforementioned downsides. It’s a nice dream though isn’t it? Well maybe it no longer has to be just a dream.
So unless you are swimming in money, it is easy to pummel all your hard earned cash down the tonal plughole very quickly. Not everyone has the space for them, and those that do soon realise owning lots of amplifiers can be a labour intensive nightmare when it comes to moving them around. You can put one in the living room to look at whilst watching tv, another in the kitchen for when making dinner, or maybe even one for the bathroom to stare longingly at whilst taking a bath. Yes sure, if the people sharing your house are happy for you to display them around like fancy ornaments you are onto a winner. They sound saucy, they look tasty, and they smell of happiness, but you are unlikely to want mountains of them.
They can be done with two tubes.vox as well.There will always be a place for boutique amps in a guitar player’s life. Which for hi gain may be cool.īut the synergy can do up to two 12ax7 preamps. And if it overdrives (the one on the lb x) it clips hard and not so musical. It is the base for a lot of known amps anyway.) or, you use mosfet stages to pretty much simulate the cathode follower tube that usually drives the tonestack for example.īear in mind, the evh lbx III uses the same technique to save a tube. I think dave friedman said so or that they chose that as the base. Either you emulate/build and tune preamps modules that are more vintage, so they use up to two preamp tubes and tune them by ear for the power amp of the synergy stuff (the randall mentioned was not vanilla, rather JCM 800 based. Before you say that hey, if it doesn't need the clean channel then it omits that, it can't because usually the distortion uses the clean channel path and builds on to it, or part of it.
How can you materialize the same circuit with less tubes? You can't. Rectifier, or should I say soldano?! Maybe friedman? Diezel etc.5150. I don't say that lightheartedly OR to take something away from it but it is like so.Įxcluding one 12ax7 "preamp" tube in normal amps that is usually reserved for the phase inverter (integral for the power amp), usually most hi gain preamps have 3-4 preamp tubes. I don't doubt they sound good, but especially the hi gain ones.not all tube.
