Synergy SYN-1 Single Module Tube Preamp

Modular All-Tube Preamp Power for Any Rig or Recording Setup

The Synergy SYN-1 Single Module Tube Preamp dock brings authentic, high-voltage tube tone directly to your existing amplifier or direct recording environment. Designed to house a single dual-channel Synergy preamp module, the SYN-1 allows you to instantly integrate legendary circuits from world-renowned amp builders—including Soldano, Friedman, Bogner, Diezel, and Morgan—into your sound without replacing your entire rig.

Engineered for maximum setup flexibility, the SYN-1 functions seamlessly in multiple environments. Connect it directly to your digital audio interface or FOH PA system using the onboard cabinet-simulated XLR output for ultra-realistic studio recording and silent stage setups. Alternatively, use the 4-cable method to seamlessly inject two brand-new, all-tube boutique channels directly into the effects loop of your current guitar amp, bypassable with a tap of the included footswitch.

Running a genuine 12AX7 tube inside its main chassis to complement the dual 12AX7s residing on each installed module, the SYN-1 ensures pure analog dynamic response, authentic harmonic saturation, and immediate volume-knob cleanup.
