[QUOTE="9985, post: 160230, member: 1761"] If you are getting a SYN-1, there's no single module that covers the full gamut of squeaky-clean, mid-gain & extreme metal, so you are going to have to do some swapping based on your project. the Synergy BE-BB module has great clean & great mid to high gain, but not extreme metal. The Synergy OS module (Dumble) has a gorgeous clean channel & low gain. The Synergy BMAN shocked me much I liked it for clean & low to mid-gain; the newer Vai module is probably more flexible for your purposes and covers similar ground. I don't have the Engl module others talked about, if you go that route, I'd still look for a good mid-gain dual channel module to fill in the blanks. There's still a pretty decent used market here & eBay/Reverb for used modules, can find lots of deals. If you only own 2 modules, you are really not getting the value of the MTS interface. Tube changing is very simple, no issues at all, just be gentle & careful like you should with any tube socket. It is downright agonizing to change tubes on some of my amps, the MTS modules are dead easy, you can see everything you are doing, don't have to jam your hand inside cramped headshell/combo. [/QUOTE]
