Just to clarify something you said. The toggle switch you said was for a boost isn't for a boost. It's for assigning the presence and depth to one or both of the channels or to turn them off completely. Other than that you did a great job as always Rabea!

You know what I'd like to Actual Deliverance Head. That would be great! I owned a Deliverance Head when they where VHT. the D-120, loudest tube amp I ever heard neverminded own! Fantastic amp heads. Now you show me a way to have that incredible head again for around $400.00 USD. I'm checkin' this thing out! Thanks Rabea for the great video Much Appreciated!

This is the only other Synergy module I plan to buy, as it is representative of the VHT/Fryette Sig:X's Rhythm channel (i.e. home). EDIT 1: It is disappointing, with no disrespect intended, that Bea did not learn how the Deliverance's gain controls work; it is no exaggeration to say that they are the defining feature of the amp. Gain I is a voicing control, which controls both the amount of distortion and the tonality of distortion (low settings produce a treble and upper mid emphasis, which transitions into a low mid and bass emphasis at high settings); Gain II is an overdrive control, which controls both the amount of distortion and the amount of saturation (i.e. compression). Steve Fryette's preamps are unique in how they can produce tremendous distortion without significant saturation-the "dry" alternative to a "liquid' lead. Using high settings on both gain controls and engaging the More switch (which adds a gain stage) will produce the most compression, with a low mid and bass emphasis which will come as close to "liquid" leads as the Deliverance is capable of delivering. EDIT 2: The "Red/Off/On" switch does not control the More switch's boost, as Bea stated; rather, it determines whether the Presence and Depth controls are engaged.

Love the detail in this comment - I too noticed that the reviewers didn't experiment enough with the Gain I setting - it is an absolute game changer of a knob on an otherwise incredibly straightforward amp.

The dryness of this amp is absolutely unique. Where is the famous dryness???? this is why when Ola used the deliverance it sounds nothing like this.

I've seen a couple of demonstrations now of this,it always sounds good. This video is the most in-depth that I've seen 👍!

Excellent review... this module wasn't on my radar but now is high up on the list after this review.. killer sounds. Thanks!

Incredible. It shocks me to admit this, but I think I would actually prefer this over a JCM. Same great tone, but way more versatility. Steven Fryette is a genius.

Amazing tones! Rabea is always a pleasure to see you doing your demos. Greetings from Brazil.

I really dig this module, one of my favs so far. Awesome playing by Bea as always too :)

You constantly impress me with your playing and versatility sir.

Brilliant!!! Stevie Fryette is a genius!

Easily one of the best preamp modules I’ve ever heard demoed... they better pay you what you’re worth, bro. Stellar demo

Rabea, you look amazing dude! Great vid as always!

Excellent Sound, Very Good Revue Rabbea! Greetings from San Francisco,20 weeks lock-down gives Me a Chance to Play more and Watch more Vids. Just Saying I Always Enjoy Yours!

Love how you demonstrate amp and etc. no one else does it so well.

Rabea, dude! You're probably one of those most underrated guitarists out there. You slay it brother!

The best noodling of any noodle to ever noodle! Sounds great man!

Thank you for the demo sir, I bought 2 of them and a syn-2 for 4 channels of an amp that was originally a single channel amp lol love it. U da man!

Really great demo Rabea, the thing sounds great, came from John Browne's channel after watching his and thinking how awesome it sounds! Mentioned there that I used to love Page Hamilton's huge, dry and percussive sound he gets from the VHT amps back in the day! Think you;ve found you're high gain tones perfectly with this module and the Friedman amp tones you did previously

Your videos never disappoint man, love it

WOAH. I LOVE THE SOUNDS IT MAKES. 👍🏻

Great demo!Im sold!!!!

That opening riff on the video was dripping with so much DNA of Nuno B it was almost obscene. And it made me go slightly weak at the knees. Was absolutely awesome!

You rock dude! 🤘Synergy has so many modules that sound great kinda leading to this one or the Diezel VH4.

When u said “more gain” I knew my fav part was coming as ususal

Sounded incredible! Your playing too.

Rabea's face at 24:34 was like he thought "Wow I just nailed it".... Great demo.

cool video love the upgrade in the video

If hadn't already ordered it I sure as hell would have after watching this!

A guy I recorded once brought in a Fryette Sig-X, and Jesus that thing sounded absolutely magnificent. Probably the best high-gain sound I'd heard at the time.

As I wrote in another comment, this is essentially the Rhythm channel of the Sig:X in a module (I do not know how the cathode resistor and capacitor switching in this module compares to the Channel Voicing switch's positions on the Sig:X). In case you were wondering, the Fryette Pitbull module is essentially the Lead channel of the Sig:X in a module. I plan to sell my Sig:X as soon as it is safe to do so, relative to COVID-19, and this module will give me my "home" channel from the Sig:X whilst allowing said amp (my white whale) to be used by someone who can handle its size and weight (my spastic cerebral palsy has gotten to be too much, and I will have plenty of help with packing and shipping). EDIT: I should mention that the SYN-1's Sag control is essentially an adjustable version of the Sig:X's Dynamic Sensing Technology.

Brilliant demo as usual! ;0)

That is soooo killer! It's got that Traynor like punishing high/mid concussion on channel one....then channel two is so freaking 80's nasty...I have been running my SYN1 in the loop of my Super Kraken (with an Engl Savage module), and I think this is the module I need now! ...BTW, thank you so much for developing the Kraken with Victory; it's to become a true amp of legend! Seriously, absolutely everyone I know loves that thing! \m/

Straight up great tone possibilities!

You absolutely killed it with the tones you got here Rabea. Had me literally sitting next to my own Deliverance 60 wanting to get one of these units. Edit: Only wish you would've experimented with how well this amp cleans up (without losing sustain/sag/compression/fluidity) simply by adjusting the volume knob and pickup selection on your guitar. That signature feature of the Deliverance amps might also benefit from their KT88 poweramps and output transformers though, so I am uncertain how it would be with EL34's/other poweramps. But I do know that the dynamics in the full amps are incredible!

Loving my new Synergy rig, this is another module I have to have. Best thing to have happened to the guitar!

Sounds great!

Wow the coolest guitarist ever. Ever.

Someone's been working on his blues rock chops. Was expecting more chugs with this demo tbh lol.

Very clever

god damn the tone of that opening riff....

I think Rabea missed the rationale behind the two gain knobs. The left knob is a gain and tone shaping setting. Lower settings give you a thinner / brighter sound and higher gain settings are darker. The second gain knob is only a gain knob. Anyhow, it sounded great.

cant wait for the ultra lead module

Holy shit this is cool af

Wait were you just in the preroll ad too. Nice.

The Fryette PowerLoad-1 is an outright awesome reactive load box, IMHO.

I would love to see you get your hands on a Hook Wizard Amp. That thing is before its time, such a genius invention. A true Analog Tube/Valve amp in signal path but controlled digitally. U can create presets that u can control via a codex knob on the faceplate, footswitch, or midi and has motorized knobs that turn to the preset positions. The only digital aspect of the signal path itself is digital reverb and if using the line out on the back of the amp it has an IR cab loader. So cool. I really want to see more of them besides the one ive seen on Paul David's channel.

Channel 1 with a strat is Biffy Clyro tones without the Metal Zone. Badass!

Great review, the Fyette sound amazing. Actually there is a difference when it comes to power sections of tube amps. I run a Helix LT through the Return loop of a Marshall DSL 20w head el34, Mesa mk5 35 head el84 and an Orange Dark Terror el84 head and they all sound different. The Marshall power section being the best IMO. Now I run the Helix LT through an Orange Pedal Baby and it sounds great, into a 2x12 cabinet with Helix cabs off. I only use the Pedal Baby now for consistency when creating presets. I am thinking about picking of a SYN-1 and running it through the Pedal Baby. I seen your Bogner Uberschall video and you seem to be blown away by that module. How would you compare it to this Fyette?

Hi Rabea, Great Video and Tone is Amazing! What is your recording chain? Oops... Sorry went back and your using Friedman. But are you mic'ed up or Ox Box?

What a great video!! I would like to know how you connected the unit since you don't use the main output volume of the syn 1.

Great video mate..What Audio Interface your running it thro?

Sounds awesome; I'm buying it ASAP. BTW, the mode switch isn't a boost. It lets you assign the presence and depth controls to both channels or just the red channel. The tones you were getting were just amazing!!!!

@Robstafarian

The Sag control is essentially an input sensitivity control for a compression circuit, with the LED lighting up when the threshold has been met; it is intended to be used when running the SYN-1 direct, to mimic as much power amp "give" as one may desire. Of course, it is also possible to use it as Bea did here.

Did someone here tried this with a class D poweramp?

Why am I hearing a reverb?
