I picked up another SYN-2 today along with a Metroplex and VH4 late this afternoon and I've only had about 30 minutes to run through both modules but once I get them dialed in, I'll post some clips.
First impressions: The VH4 is just outright awesome. I mean, good grief, what a tone machine! I can definitely see this module playing a huge role moving forward as it's fast, articulate, has gain for days and offers so many tonal options.
The Metroplex, on the other hand, is different than I expected. I've tried all three cathode positions and while I like the 3rd (far right) the best for me, it's still pretty flabby, even with the Sag completely off (fully counter-clockwise). I've tried a bunch of different Celestion IR speaker combinations that I've created the past few weeks and it's been difficult to find "the right one". I may have to try a few Ownhammer IR's (the GNR bundle might fit the bill) but it's just way looser than I expected, especially after checking out various YouTube videos.
It's super flabby with a Les Paul loaded with Classic 57 Plus in the bridge, even with the bass turned way down. It's not "bad" by any means, but as mentioned earlier, it's definitely "different" than I expected.
Edit: The more time I spend playing through the Metro Plex, the "tighter" is seems to become, which isn't unusual since most modules require at least 20 hours of playing time to "burn in" the brand new components.
