As soon as I saw that Synergy were releasing/teasing a new module, I thought "Man, I hope they send one to John Browne". Stoked to see they did! Awesome tone man!

Browne is probably the only reviewer who knows how to setup a mark series amp^^

I think the sheer amount of playing in this demo video shows how much the player enjoyed the thing.

That riff starting @11:54 is insane!

I'm here always to see you play riffs like thaat, really cool and versatile in every kind of amp, cheers!

Good to see you back it action. Sounds awesome!!!!!

The greatest demo of the Synergy ever! Great playing as always, sick riffs

Sounds great! Love the studio...what an amp collection!!!!

The fact that you brought up billy talent blows me away! Such a great band

@@JohnBrownemonuments that's exactly what's great about you

the harmonic with the right hand at 8:24, unreal, that whole section of riffs rules so hard

Yep, this easily the best tone you’ve ever gotten Browne. Sick!

Wow, super tight playing!!! Sounds great too! 🤘🎸

Sounds Great! might pick this up. Also awesome to hear of a new monuments record can't wait!!!!!!!

Sounds great! Very bold!

FINALLY someone trying this module out with a boost in front! Well done, John Browne, thank you!

Can’t wait for the new album 🙌🏽

Holy $h!t! I just saw Browne use an upstroke! Ya, it was while arpeggiating a chord, but I wasn’t sure his picking stroke ever went upwards. LOL! Keep up the great work brother!

Dude that sounds killer...OMFG!!!!that right hand of yours :O ...and that awsome Mayones guitar...F.....K!!!!

Sounds awesome!

Mr Browne, brilliant as all get out! I knew you would really give this module a workout. Have you tried the Synergy module into the loop of the MKIV? The power section is what I really here the difference between both rigs.

Mr. Browne being the only guy who knows how to dial this module 'cause it sounds fucking brutal.

His and Ola’s are the two best demos I’ve heard.

Browne and Rabea dropping a demo of the same product within an hour of each other ? What. A. Wednesday

My personal favorite of this preamp so far.

Damn that sounds good. Wish I could afford a synergy setup lol maybe someday

Liked already

Sounds just like it!

The Lavos mix sounds fantastic and what a killer track. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

I always know when you're testing something you enjoy when you have that fucking smile on.

When John mentioned Billy Talent, I knew exactly what he was talking about. Though Ian's sound is a bit more crispy then crunchy. But I feel ur point 😋

I wasn't expecting you to namedrop Billy Talent while reviewing a Synergy module, awesome ahahah

Holy shit mate!

I had the word SPANKY in my head for like, 14 secs before you said it!

I would love to hear this module into a Fryette power section like a two-90-two

Awesome as always and nice product ! I see you have a new amp mesa road king. I would be curious to see how Mister John Browne takes hold of the road king's fiery rage ! ^^ It should be obscene !

fire!

I was looking at the synergy gear just now on Sweetwater

Looks like ya diggin this one man 😁

I normally just tune in to hear John's playing. What a devastating beast!! Always so fresh and creative sounding. And so heavy. Then he drops master of puppets in. Just kill me now! So intrigued by the synergy system. I spunked my money into a mark IV though and that's been awesome. Honestly, I feel like I need the right hand/left drills more than I need another piece of gear/tonal option.

Seems like it would be a great rhythm recording amp with just the right amount of breakup!!!

This and a simul-class power amp, the ones with EL34's and 6l6's...that would be freaking sick!

Would prefer this over the Mesa. Always had such a hard time dialing Mesa Mark heads

Best demo of this yet. Thanks for the MIV comparison

YEEEEESSSSSS

Sounds like the chunk and tightness of a iic+ mixed with the grind of a silver jubilee

Do you ever get to play in front of a proper cab with the volume up or is it mostly through PA live and monitors in studio?

11:51 Damn thats a dope riff, hope it's from a song on the new album

I love a module that just makes you want to play and this is it, in spades and it's not a one trick pony either. I prefer this to my Mark V for all the 20mins I've had with it so far.....granted I'm using the Mk V power section with the SYN1. I'm only 1/3 way through your video so far but looking it! \m/

I'm thinking about adding one module to my ENGL Invader, how would this sound? My Invader sounded much better than my MK V so I was wondering if this 2C+ would be cool

Very close. Synergy makes good stuff.

hey john i know youre a busy man and stuff but i'd love to hear your opinion on any plugin that you think sounds decent for the broke blokes like me

yessss an affordable way to get a 2c+

Hey Boss, what pick do you use ? The attack of each note is massive !!! Great video !

Nice to see someone crank the gain on the non lead setting and the work the volume knob on the guitar. My Quad Pre gets a fantastic classic to hard rock tone on the clean channel when the gain is up. So many good sounds in there beyond scooped metal and straight clean. When you use an E or Eb standard tuned guitar it’s even more tight and riff friendly before you even get to the lead setting.

15:00 FACEMELTING TONE

I swear yesterday I thought about how cool it would be to have a MK Mesa module in Synergy, it's like they read my thoughts

cant believe browne knows billy talent!

serious question, why cant he move his neck normally

Before you engaged the graphic EQ the tone was very blah to me....but as soon as you engaged the EQ, BOOM there was the magic!

yeah. this only proves you dont know how to set up a Mark IV to sound good either

Detuned metal guitar has one dimension and its barely musical. Another guitar that doesn't sound like a dog shitting razor blades would've made the demo.
