I have an Axe-Fx II and I was really enjoyed playing on it , but when I received this Synergy Syn2 preamp, everything changed. lol
Can u imagine a Di signal but with a lot tube saturation?
It sounds really greater than the Axe-Fx II , the tubes are REAL!
It has tight mid, smooth treble , and punchy low, u wont regret to own one! Even the default DI cab sims are not bad too!
Also Synergy has a lot of options of the Preamp module such as Morgan AC / Friedman BE/HBE/DS / Diezel VH4 blah blah blah, just choose what amp u want and bam! U have two amplifiers inside a 1U rack unit !
P.S. Im currently using this SYN-2 as my preamp , and Axe FX II as my effect FX loop , with my own IR Cab.
