Synergy Soldano SLO

Confused

All the clips I’ve heard of it on YouTube sounded awesome. When I got it however, I was disappointed.

Not sure if my particalur product has way lower gain, but I need to crank the gain fully, to get a decent sound. Actually, all the EQ controls are basically dimed to get an ok sound,. Sounds like a relative of the SLO-head to me, not like the real amp.

I know the 100W amp has a way fuzzier tone, and the amp has a great, full sound with the gain at 4.

This module though, I had to crank up everything, and it still doesn’t sound as good or full. And because it’s dimed, there’s nothing more to add internally. Then I’d need pedals in the SYN-1’s FX-loop or in front of it.

Btw, I’m running this module as it says in the manual, into a combo amp, with jacks into both input and the amp’s FX loop.

As I’ve written, maybe my version has way less gain, but to me it was ok, sadly not great.

Try it out yourself, and decide if you like it.

Fantastic!

High gain, great sound, effective EQ and very low noise. Need no boost or overdrive in front, it sounds great standalone. And yes, it sounds like the original, very similar with cab sim going direct as well. Remarkable products, the best high gain preamps of Synergy.
