Key Features
The Synergy SYN-1 is a compact, road-ready preamp housing designed to unlock the full flexibility of the Synergy modular system. Simply load in any Synergy preamp module and the SYN-1 becomes a powerful two-channel valve preamp capable of delivering world-class boutique amp tones directly to your recording interface, PA system or powered monitor. With both XLR and 1/4" direct outputs, including a built-in high-quality cabinet simulation, the SYN-1 provides genuine tube-driven tone without the need for a full amplifier rig. Players who prefer their own impulse responses can bypass the cab sim entirely, ensuring full control over their sound.
A Fryette-designed Sag control on the front panel adds the dynamic feel of a pushed valve power section, while the onboard effects loop makes it easy to integrate both rack and pedal effects. Connected via the 3-cable method, the SYN-1 can also transform any amplifier with a series effects loop into a multi-channel boutique tone machine, bypassing the amp's preamp and giving complete control to the module you choose. Whether you're recording, travelling, rehearsing or upgrading an existing setup, the SYN-1 offers a seamless way to access Synergy's entire library of top-tier amp circuits in one compact, versatile enclosure.

The SYN-1 offers a fast, intuitive way to capture authentic valve tones without miking a loud amplifier. Its balanced XLR output features a studio-grade cabinet simulation that delivers mix-ready sound, while a cab sim bypass lets players use third-party impulse responses for even greater tonal control. Unlike digital emulations, the SYN-1 outputs genuine all-tube preamp tone, making it ideal for home studios, live stages running direct, and silent practice setups.
Using the 3-cable method, the SYN-1 can bypass your amplifier’s preamp section entirely, replacing it with a Synergy module of your choice. This instantly gives you two boutique channels designed by iconic amp builders such as Friedman, Diezel, Bogner, Morgan and many others. With footswitchable channels and seamless integration, the SYN-1 lets players switch between their amp’s original voice and a premium modular tone in seconds.
The onboard Sag control, developed with legendary designer Steven Fryette, mimics the natural voltage drop experienced in a pushed valve power section. This allows players to dial in anything from tight, modern response to the loose, blooming feel of vintage amplifiers. It adds a uniquely expressive dimension to the SYN-1, making the playing experience feel dynamic and responsive even when running direct.
With its built-in effects loop, the SYN-1 supports pre- and post-preamp routing for pedals and rack units, giving players professional signal-chain control. It also provides ground lift for noise reduction, ensuring silent operation in complex rigs. Whether used as a direct recording hub, a compact stage preamp or an add-on channel system for your existing amplifier, the SYN-1 delivers exceptional versatility in a portable, durable enclosure.
