[QUOTE="j4q0, post: 161459, member: 3288"] I tried a SYN50 in a store before the pandemic, sounded just OK, but I might have not liked the cab/speaker I tried it with. I had the SYN5050 at the same time as a Fryette 2:50:2, they sounded similar, probably the Fryette sounded more open/clear, (not sure how to describe it). I kept the Fryette because of the options and sold the SYN5050. Mesa fifty/fifty is a great amp, different flavor and bigger bottom end (which is not necessarily better). Mesa 2:90 has a lot more headroom, very powerfull and full sounding, the voicing options are nice but not a must. Mesa 20/20 sounds pretty good and is loud, wouldn't recommend for metal though. Unless you play incredibly tight modern metal you probably don't need more than a 50w amp if you want the headroom, or even 20w depending on your style of music. Other options I know that are well regarded but I haven't tried: KSR compact power amp, Myasnikov custom amps, Engl, Randall RT250, Ffryette power station, Seymour Duncan power stage. [/QUOTE]
