Synergy SYN-20IR 20 Watt 3-Channel Preamp Module Platform Tube Guitar Amplifier Head

The SYN-20IR utilizes Synergy's patented all-tube modular system, allowing you to quickly and easily swap preamp modules to endlessly expand your tonal palette. The SYN-20IR is the world’s most flexible, convenient, and tonally versatile all-tube amplifier head. The amp's built-in vintage American-style clean channel coupled two additional channels from your favorite Synergy preamp module, makes the SYN-20IR a three-channel tonal beast ideal for every player, every style, and every situation.


MODULES BASED ON LEGENDARY AMP MODELS

Synergy offers an ever-growing list of all-tube modules based on legendary amp models which include everything from IIC+ crunch and AC-style chime to BMAN bloom and even Steve Vai's signature leads. This allows the SYN-20IR to offer unparalleled versatility and tonal exploration.

There are three Structure modes to choose from:

• Mode A: Balanced negative feedback for a clear yet punchy sound
• Mode B: Vintage style phase inverter with relaxed mids and a bright, shimmering high end.
• Mode C: Modern HiFi style phase inverter and low negative feedback delivers a modern, tight feel with solid lows and a darker high end.

REACTANCE is similar to a presence knob, but with a dynamic response and variable phase inverter which simultaneously shapes the middle and treble frequencies. This powerful control helps tailor the sound to your chosen module and Structure setting.


ASSIGN (POWERAMP) STRUCTURE and IR TO EACH CHANNEL

Right from the amp’s front panel, you can assign one of four impulse responses (IRs) and one of three POWER STUCTURES to each of the three channels. Easily manage and save it all to the included 3-button MIDI footswitch.


3-BUTTON MIDI FOOTSWOTCH - MIDI CONTROL

The SYN-20IR includes an easy-to-use 3-button MIDI footswitch that lets you save and access any combination of channels, amp structures and onboard IRs. With the tap of your toe, you can, for example, switch from your module's high-gain crunch with a 4x12 IR and Structure Mode C to the amp's onboard clean channel through a vintage 1x12 IR and the open-sounding Structure Mode A.

You can also connect external MIDI switchers and controllers, giving you access to up to 128 user-created presets. The included Synergy Editor Software makes it easy to assign and organize your presets for maximum flexibility.


SYNERGY EDITOR SOFTWARE

The included Synergy Editor Software unlocks the SYN-20IR's full potential. Connecting via a standard USB jack, you can easily assign different IRs and Structure settings for your amp and module channels, load and organize your IR library, save up to 128 MIDI presets, and tailor your power-amp simulation via the assignable Low-Pass and Low Pass filtering. It's all available within the software's streamlined and easy-to-use interface.
