Synergy SYN1 and Randall Treadplate Module Direct

Randall's MTS version of the Mesa Dual Rectifier. I think the first iteration was called Recto and this is their second version.
The main point here is that you can find the older Randall MTS modules for pretty cheap sometimes, and they can be very cost effective compared to say a guitar pedal.
Why this video - First, I like to learn songs, and it's kind of like solving a puzzle to me. Part learning the notes, part trying to manipulate how you play to achieve the sounds. It can really open your mind as to how a player attacks his/her instrument. Second, I got inspired to try and learn some old Randy Rhoads stuff which I never tried. Was using the BE100 plugin (which I think sounds very good), but I just couldn't articulate what I was trying for. So I broke out the SYN1 with a Synergy 800 module and it was just a lot more satisfying experience overall. Then I started trying other modules that I hadn't used in forever, and I found something fun in the Treadplate that I thought was worth demonstrating.
I think I payed $110 for this module off of Ebay. This was in the period between when Randall had discontinued the MTS line and before the Synergy line had launched. The whole premise behind these is very much the same, but with the Synergy line having a couple more features and maybe being built a little better. But the core concept and engineering is very much the same between them.

    Thank you kindly! I just picked up an OX stomp and messing with that and a few modules in a Randall RM4 and so far so good there.

    That might be a bit heavy. I have a couple rm50 heads that I like a lot. Regardless, good luck and hope you like it!

    So the rectifier was basically a SLO preamp so this module would essentially be as well right? BTW thanks for the King's X riffs great stuff!

    I've heard that slo/rectifier thing that they are basically the same, but I've never owned either so I don't really know. I had the SLO synergy module and that was quite a bit different from this "tread plate" as well. I did get to play a SLO30 for a while and thought that was really good, but didn't strike me as rectifier like either. That's my uneducated take anyway. I sold the synergy module and kept this one, fwiw. And thanks on the King's X stuff. I love that stuff, such a unique band.

    Congrats on the puppy! Lots of work, but very rewarding too. Currently we 3 cats (2 inherited, so not totally by choice, but they are great). Added the 5 chickens this year. They basically run around the yard all day and go back in the coup at night. They are just delightful, a real joy from god is all I can say there. The creek on the one side of the lot has tons of cool stuff, fish, beavers, turtles, frogs, snakes, etc. And lots of really cool birds which I think are part of what the water brings. And the wild turkey! It's here every day and sleeps in one of the trees. Life is good. :) And thank you as always. Send the pics! :)
