![]() ![]() Some will disagree but I'll tell ya the Axe Fx is incapable of sounding/feeling exactly like the analog gear it models it gets pretty close but it's different, and I mean that even as just a preamp - if accurate replication of such-and-such amp matters to you, get the Synergy. Axe FX comes with a ridiculous amount of amps, if that matters to you. Choose Axe Fx if you want the ability to tweak the living shit out of your tone, mutating it into something yet unknown to man. Anyway, choose Synergy if you've got to have a fully analog signal. Preface, I use Axe FX into a tube power amp and real cab so if you're asking about FRFR, I'm not your guy. Haven't tried their power amp, though.Īs far as Synergy vs Axe FX, that's a big can o' worms that I'll try to make concise. All I can say at this point is I'm currently very happy with my Synergy rig and can't wait till I can start gigging with it. In all honesty, some of the modules do sound similar (the Modded-Marshall modules tend to sound more alike than not). The biggest appeal to me, as has been mentioned here, is the system's ability to use "boutique" preamps, that really do sound very close to the original amps, without having to buy the actual amp. I currently have a Syn30 combo, a Syn5050 power amp, an Egnator M4 (a module bay that holds 4 modules), 9 modules, and plan on integrating a recently FX8 as a controller/EFX unit. Their selection of modules is now pretty extensive and they have a few different platforms for a variety of uses. About 6 months ago, I jumped back down the rabbit hole and am glad I did. I bought a system when they first came out, when there wasn't the vast selection of really different sounding modules like they currently have. I've been on and off of the Synergy boat for quite some time now. I would like to have some chimey class A cleans, possibly the VH4 gain, etc. My modded SS100 is totally bad ass, but obviously it doesn’t get every sound there is. I recently put together a new recording set up, and I would like to expand my tonal palette. What do you guys think? Is it worth it? Or, are you better off getting something like an axefx 3? I played my friends axefx3 through a VHT power amp and it was pretty damn awesome. ![]() Some sounded good, but the ones that sounded best are promotional videos. Obviously I am sure that they aren’t exact, but are they close? I know each amp has its own design and components so the power amp and transformers from an SLO are different than a XTC. I love the idea of getting amps for $400(aren’t the modules $400?) each and having a bunch of modules/amps on hand, especially for recording!!! How is the synergy power amp?ĭo the modules actually sound AND FEEL like the amp they are taken from? I am sure some of you guys have the synergy stuff. He had an XTC module and a fender clean type I believe? Anyhow, there was either something wrong with his, or it just wasn’t any good. A long time ago, I went to my friends house and played his Randall amp with the modules. ![]()
