The Synergy SYN-2 (often referred to as the SN2) is a 1U rackmount dual-module tube preamp dock designed to house two hot-swappable Synergy hardware preamp modules (sold separately). It essentially serves as a modular hardware foundation that lets guitarists access all-tube, authentic boutique tones from legendary amp designers (like Soldano, Friedman, Diezel, and Bogner) in the studio or on the road. [1, 2, 3, 4]The unit features three primary routing modes: running direct to a DAW/PA via its cabinet-simulated XLR outputs, running directly into the power amp section of an existing guitar rig, or integrating into an amp’s series effects loop to add four extra footswitchable tube channels without losing the host amp's native tone.

• Total Switchable Channels: Up to 4 channels when fully loaded (each inserted module features 2 independent channels). [1, 2]
• Special Controls:
• • Master Volume: Overall output level control.
  • Sag Control: A licensed, Steven Fryette-designed dynamic response circuit that emulates the compression and feel of a cranked tube power amplifier. [1, 2]
• MIDI Functionality:
• • 128 programmable MIDI presets.
  • 7-pin DIN MIDI Input (supports phantom power for MIDI foot controllers).
  • 7-pin DIN MIDI Thru.
  • Full compatibility with 5-pin MIDI connectors. [1]
• Power Consumption: 40 Watts (50/60Hz) via standard IEC power cable. [1]
• Fuse Rating: T500mA/250V (@ 110-118VAC) or T250mA/250V (@ 220-240VAC). [1]

• Weight: Approximately 10 lbs (3.17 kg). [1, 2]

Input & Output Configurations

• Instrument Inputs: 2 x 1/4" Hi-Z instrument inputs (one on the front panel for easy access, one on the rear panel for rack routing). [1]
• Main Line Outputs: 2 x 1/4" Jacks (Left/Mono and Right for optional stereo operation). [1]
• Direct Recording Outputs: 2 x Balanced XLR outputs featuring a switchable/bypassable studio-grade cabinet simulation. [1, 2]
• Effects Loops:
• • Amp Loop: 1/4" Send and Return loop dedicated to patch-switching with your main amplifier's internal preamp loop.
  • Main FX Loop: 1/4" Transparent series effects loop designed to route external rack gear or pedalboards after the preamp section but before outputting to the power amp. [1, 2]
• Footswitch Jack: Dedicated connector for the Synergy 5F 5-button programmable footswitch. [1]
• Grounding: Rear-mounted Ground Lift switch to eliminate ground loop hum and signal noise. [1]
