Is it just me, or are the vast majority of the Synergy modules not really dual channel. They do have 2 channels, but mainly appear to be 2 of the exact same sound.
For example, I own a Jaded Faith dual Ultra Lead and one channel is normal, the other is boosted. Tonally they are similar, as they are the same preamp, but they are very different channels, that produce very different tones.
Several of these mods - Metroplex, Plexi, 800, BE, HBE, SLO, VH4 appear to sound virtually identical when the 2 channel are set the same.
It’s a bit surprising that in most cases the Synergy mods were not at least set to Ch1 - Crunch / Ch2 - Lead settings, or even “normal / modded” channels.
I get that you can set the channels very differently to achieve different tones, which is cool. It just seems odd they are basically 1 channel preamps separated for the sale of being dual channel, than actually having tonal differences.
