    Synergy/MTS module cases (Burns)

    I have been bumbed/annoyed since Synergy launched that they don't offer any type of module case. Here's a YouTube review by Henning Pauly of a USA made line of high quality hard cases, they have rails and threads like inserting into MTS am, available in 4 & 12 slot sizes, with a 4 slot rack...

    RM100 RF3 footswitch external power

    PSA for anyone using a 5-pin MIDI cable and external power and external power supply on a RM100 3 button MIDI footswitch (model RF3): The RF3's 9-12 volt DC power input uses a less common connector, 5.5/2.5mm centre positive, same as Eventide pedals. If you happen to be using CIOKS or Eventide...

    DIY or converted module soft case?

    Randall MTS module canvas-style soft cases originally went for about $50 each in late 2000s. I have two- they are decent quality, nothing particularly complex about the construction or design, yet I have never found an easily repurposed soft case designed for something else of compatible...

    what single channel modules offer tones not covered by stock Synergy?

    Over the past month, I've noticed a significant surge in Jaded Faith, Salvation & rarer modded modules for sale online - almost all single channel, generally hovering around $350-ish pricing. Maybe that's due to pandemic firesale from lack of live shows, who knows. It's been years since I saw...

    RM100 MIDI footswitch stopped working- suggestions?

    This one has me scratching my head. My RM100 head has been in storage for several years, been using SYN-1 in 4CM with other amps. Fired up the RM100 yesterday, head is working fine, it can switch between channels/modules using the button on the front of the head without issue. Connected the...

    RM100 head width (between feet)?

    Anyone know the width between the outside edges of the feet on an RM100 head? Looking for the minimum width of a cabinet head can safely sit on without hanging over the edges. Traveling, away from mine to measure, web searches aren't helping me find what I need.

    RM100 tube shield replacement?

    I need a 12AX7 tube shield for my RM100, can't find the part number anywhere, anyone know what it is, or better yet where to find one online? The preamp tube socket model/ part number would work too. I impulse bought a cheap one that I thought would fit, but nope.

    SYN-50 vs Mod 50 heads

    Is there any argument to get a used Mod 50 over a used SYN-50 head, assuming similar condition & price? The SYN-50 has the onboard non-modular clean channel & XLR cab sim line out, Mod 50 has 2 loops (series & parallel), which I don't see as much of a plus. EDIT: as was pointed out below- the...

    SYN1 in Mesa TC-50 loop?

    Thinking about getting a Mesa Triple Crown TC-50 Combo in lieu of my PRS Archon 50 Combo, tried one at a dealer this weekend, very nice amp, ton of features & MIDI controls. Would like to be able to run my SYN1 in the loop in 4CM. The SYN1 manual says that some Mesa loops don't play nice...

    specs for OEM Randall module knobs?

    just got a few modules back that were on-loan to a friend for years; he lost one of the stock Randall module's knobs. Poked around & couldn't find any classified listings or Reverb/eBay listings that said they were OEM Randall knobs- does anyone have the exact specs? I'd prefer to find a single...

    SYN1 work OK in Tweaker 15 loop?

    I just picked up a used Tweaker 15 head for a great price, just getting into playing with it. Thinking about getting a SYN1, will the "buffered series loop" in the Tweaker 15 allow the SYN1 to work in the loop? Even if not, I might get it anyway and just run like a pre-amp into the input. I have...

    headphone output from SYN-1 for practice?

    Hi all- been out of the MTS/modular forums for ages, just looking at the new SYN-1, very cool product, thinking about getting one. Anyone have thoughts on a good way to use SYN-1 stand alone (no head/power amp) to get headphone output for practice? I assume you'd need to connect the XLR or...

    which module for early Sabbath sound?

    So I have gone totally GAS berserk in the past 45 days; up to a ridiculous 13 modules when the Grail I just bought arrives. My already short attention span is spinning into ADHD territory, I feel obligated to use as many as possible during each practice session to try to pin down cover song...

    tube recommendations for various modules- sticky?

    A thought for a sticky: Lots of opinions about what the best preamp tubes are for various modules. I dug around on some searches and found threads oriented towards individual modules- i.e. "what are the best tubes for my Treadplate?" Nothing that I could find with info about multiple...

    which modules to fill the tone gaps between these 5?

    OK I am like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. I have a RM100 head & a total of 5 modules en route this week from several sources: 1086 Ultra KH-3 Top Boost Pete modded Deluxe I'm looking to buy maybe 1 or 2 other modules...for now. So: what two modules (stock or modded) would best fill...

    ART X-15 to control both RM-100 and SGX 2000 Express?

    Saw one post where someone was using an X-15 to control an RM4 by itself... anyone know if it is possible to control both an RM100 and an ART SGX 2000 Express using the MIDI Thru port? I love that old unit, had it since 1994 would be cool if I could use it for both. Aside from the X-15...

    Known good/bad years or serial number ranges for RM100s?

    Been lurking for awhile, first post here. I'm shopping around for a used RM100 (or Lynch Box). I am communicating with several potential sellers - are there any known significant good or bad variances between model years, or even specific serial number ranges? I know for example with older...
