The original Randall modular MTS was a Bruce Egnater design, he had his own modular amps the M4 and he's a part of Synergy amps. I'm glad to see you demo these, I've been drooling over the Synergy stuff for over a year now.

Synergy is MTS compatible. If you have MTS modules you can use them on the Synergy chassis. You MIGHT be able to use the Synergy modules on the MTS chassis.

Conversely: You can't use dual channel modules on Randall amps (but you can on Egnater M4 amps AND you can get the Randall amps modded, not sure about the Randall RM4 preamp though)

I had a SYN2, an SLO module, and a TDLX module for a few weeks earlier this year (it was part of my phase-two testing of the guitar circuit I invented, and I returned them when testing did not turn out well). The Synergy system is great, and it works as it should (e.g. the Fender Twin channel of the TDLX has massive input headroom, as one would expect). I plan to order a SYN1 and a BMAN module in a few months.

That Morgan module sounds killer. Absolutely slays the chime-y clean thing. That as my clean channel and the Friedman DS module as my dirt and I’ll be a happy, happy boy.

SOLDANO sounded killer!!!

The best way to change your sound on the fly. Sounds great! The Soldano preamp is the one I prefer the most.

Barely woke up, switched here and laughed my ass off. Made my day already. I am not even interested in modular stuff in the first place but you Mr, are a class entertainer. Thanks :)

Great video Ola!!Synergy amp' s hit the Mark with this concept!!

Despite trying to make them all sound the same. Amazingly they were not far off. Synergy should have sent them to someone else. The Morgan can get the cleanest tone you have ever heard. Think David Gilmore

The chug master strikes again! Opening riff and others are awesome!

Oh man! I've 1.) been waiting for you to demo these and 2.) been waiting for that Engl pre amp to come out. Sold!

The concept of adding channels to an existing amp and not losing your fx loop is awesome. I believe in this Synergy system of manufacturers working together to develop the modules and all the parties involved getting paid for the designs of the modules. I have been waiting for this concept to develop further. I am just not interested any more in the digital amp stuff. I like digital fx like delays and reverbs. Having the ability to mix and match with hardware is my preference. Great job Ola!

It's important to note that Synergy also offers an all tube 100 watt power amp that is a single rack space configuration with 4 6l6's, which is incredible to me. Haven't seen any other company accomplish that, but I'm sure somebody else has done it at some point and I just don't know about it. Excellent video Ola as always, been waiting for this one. Saw the amp behind you in a few videos.

Yeah, the power amp seems pretty sweet. If I recall correctly, Fryette designed it.

I'm more of a traditional Amp kind of guy but this is actually pretty fuckin cool. I know a lot of guitar players, myself included who always think and talk about combining the best qualities of 2 different amps they love. Mesa rectifier and Marshall JCM 800 always comes to mind

This is awesome! And that intro song was AMAZING

I know there's a bunch of people not liking this thing, but for me this thing IS SO FUCKING COOL. Its literally like the amp is a gaming console and the preamp is the game!!! I freaking love it!! I hope to God this company gets a bunch of preamps, because I would love this! Im constantly trading in amps for new ones and this would fix it!!

Thank you Ola, for making me feel ok about my math skills.

Glad to see modular preamps making a come back. The Randall MTS, as mentioned was a great idea. It came in various forms, rack mount, amp head, with swappable preamps. It's cool that they are made with the actual vendors.

Damn, those riffs!

i really hope that these things eventually become as modular as modular synths, then each person's tone will be more unique than ever

Synergy really should make some bass stuff, that would be awesome

Great video Ola!!! Synergy does great stuff!

The Morgan and soldano fucking ripped. The clarity of the Morgan made my dingle tingle.

The SYN 1 might have the first analog cab sim that sounds good to me. Wow.

Hey Ola! Love the video. Thanks for doing what you do, I've learned a lot. The Engl module sounded best to me!

Man, the riffs today🔥🔥🔥

I’m usually never interested in the gear, Ola makes it interesting, and I watch these demo vids of this gear I’ll never use (except the hm300 I got that one) but I still love it! It’s cool! Entertaining! I love watching Ola enjoy all this stuff he gets to try out lol 😂

That look at 8:11 into the video is priceless. Amazing.

man i really think this is a amazing idea and it seems to sounds so damn good! and i love how you did this video by the way ola

Opeth is using Synergy for their touring rig. I liked your review Ola. Top notch reviewerer as always!

I think these modular amps are genius. I kind of already have a setup like this using a Kemper as a pre-amp into a Marshall poweramp. I am most tempted by that SLO100 module.

you play some sick riffs in this video, damn it!

Awesome, Ola! Thanks for a Soldano SLO demo (even if it just a pre-amp)!!

You are the BEST gear reviewer ever!! Plus, you could make a Crate sound acceptable (pls don't, cuz then I'll want to buy one). This Synergy amp would be more interesting if it could combine the the preamp sounds. Otherwise I like my mess of different heads.

Anyone can make a Crate sound good. EQ is an important skill.

I wonder if OLA "the man beast" realizes he is the most famous/successful guitar play in the metal world right now. For real dude you are the real dude! We can see your dedication and hard work. Alaso that amp sounds amazing! 😭 😭 😭😭 😭

I love these modular amplifiers.

Dude that fuckin opening riff/song is amazing.

I'm a user of the original MTS line and have a lynchbox with a few modules. They do sound great BUT the limitation will always be the power amp. It is better for some preamps than others. For example, the AC/Morgan stuff will sound better through EL84's and a diff power amp but hey its good enough. While many tube amps can be dialed in to sound the same, this stuff is no different. Great to have a ton of preamps but if you all make them sound the same, you probably don't need that many.

Dang, these sound sick!🤘

FANTASTIC IDEA

Yup , the Soldano or the Engle !! That is an awesome product !!

Really diggin' the look of the Poplar Solars! Amp sounds crushing, Friedman Module sounded the best in my opinion 🤘🏻

I like the idea of this system and I think it sounded great - to have a small size tube pre like this for recording at home would be great. It is quite pricey though - $499 for the empty SYN-1 chassis and then $399 to purchase one module. At this price you are not too far off from purchasing an AX8, yes it's a modeller but hugely flexible. Maybe they will do some bundle deals in future that would make this more affordable.

Love the tone from some of these. They seem to be very low noise. Solid demo sir.

Bruce Egnater is the main designer and patent holder behind Synergy. The Randall MTS system was manufactured under that same patent even share compatibility.

I started singing “ back on my feet again” too hahaha

Nice tone and nice riff in the beguining.

I really like the idea of this and they sound great

I love love love Soldanos!

If I'm not mistaken, the Morgan AC is based on the original Vox AC30, that's why it says AC. I love the face you do when you start chugging and the amp sound sick.

@Robstafarian

5 жыл бұрын

The Morgan AC module is based on Morgan's AC amps, which contain tweaked versions of Vox's 12AX7-based preamps (no EF86).

The Randall MTS system was basically the same thing...no digging around in the amp. As a matter of fact, those old modules work in the Synergy, and the Synergy modules will work in the old Randall gear, but only 1 channel. If I didn't already have a Kemper I'd pick up a Syn1, since I have 5 or 6 MTS modules laying around, but can't justify spending any more $$ based on how shitty I play and how little I play these days. The Kemper was my "once in a lifetime" purchase. Of course, I pretty much play only on one profile (though yours are pretty killer), and I could have bought that particular amp for 1/2 the price of the Kemper lol.

wtf this sounds huge i like it. that soldano is awesome.

Great choices of riffs (D.N.R & Strange Deja Vu)

Damn I been waiting on that Savage model since I heard of Synergy

Such a badass idea!

Designed by Egnater then Randall acquired the MTS module system. The Synergy system, was cool enough to have backwards compatibility with the previous designs.

Love you're videos bro want once of your solar guitars

Very cool opening riff !

soldano sounds great!

I used to own a Randall MTS 100 watt head. I loved the idea of interchangeable preamps. But Randall's preamp modules sounded like ass. You had to send them out to guys on a web forum and get them modded in order for the preamps to sound good. I was sad this idea didn't catch on but it was Randall's poor sounding modules that killed it. These preamps obviously sound way better than any of the Randall ones. I will have to look into some Synergy stuff. Thanks for the video.

Another great product & great review...like the MTS series, the Syn is great but horrendously expensive, it'll be interesting to see how it competes with the many options out there.

SLO100... Ola finally found an amp that he couldn't scoop the life out of. sounds incredible.

Ola, you're so wise and beautiful

I just got the synergy 50 50. Power head and I’m going to use it for my fractal fm3

Ola "Make the amp sound the same again" for president.

If i were to choose, it be the Soldano and Engl savage. Tremendous stuff.

I saw a similar concept in Japan. And it wasn't new, it was mid 80s equipment. There were 6 different modules, 4 pre, 2 post. I've never seen or heard of them since. They were smaller than these and sounded compressed, and tended to lose gain/ presence when pushed. Good idea, but probably under researched, at the time.

Ola makes everything Djent!

Great concept!

Wow thats tone!

Are they “Ola Approved” ? Great demo and the modules sound “monster” !

Damn... I've been looking for the best way to get my pedalbord (with regular pedals) to FOH with a fair tone... Think I found the way... Syn 1... Not the cheapest way but it seems to be stellar... 🙏😊♥️

You know the gear is good when Ola smiles trough the whole video like a 5 year old in Disneyland.

Great personality. Prefer old school amps but preamp modules are easy to transport!

11:08 is the Soldano SLO module. Sounds tight.

I NEED THIS AMP!

The synergy is very cool but also take the time to take a good look at the blackwidow MGP-1A, analog tube modeling guitar preamp, you’re in for a real surprise

The SLO module is the clear winner.

Bit late to the video... but looove the riff from Silencer by the haunted, awesome to hear it here 🤣
