Synergy SYN-20IR All-Tube Modular Head with IR and MIDI
The Synergy SYN-20IR packs a collection of vintage tones into a sleek, 20-watt head. From the rich saturation of a Marshall stack to the pristine clarity of a Fender Twin, this modular system delivers iconic sounds with modern convenience.
Unleash the Power of Customization
In your home studio, you can seamlessly switch from a crushing metal tone to sparkling cleans without swapping amps or touching a cable. The SYN-20IR’s patented modular design expands your tonal palette from a few sounds to an endless array of legendary amplifier voices.
Legendary Module Library: Choose from officially licensed modules recreating iconic amps like Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+, Soldano SLO, Friedman BE, Diezel VH4, and Steve Vai's signature tones — each module containing the exact preamp circuitry of the legendary amplifiers they're based on.
Lightning-Fast IR Technology: Industry-leading impulse response processing with less than 1ms latency means you get studio-quality cabinet simulation that responds instantly to your playing dynamics, no lag, no compromise.
Complete MIDI Control: The included 3-button footswitch gives you instant access to 128 programmable presets, letting you morph from vintage Fender sparkle with a 1x12 cabinet simulation to modern high-gain brutality with a 4x12 stack at the tap of your toe.
Revolutionary Tone Control That Adapts to You
Forget everything you thought you knew about amp flexibility. The SYN-20IR doesn't just give you different channels — it gives you different amplifier personalities that respond and feel exactly like the legendary amps they're modeled after.
Three-Way Structure Control: Mode A delivers balanced punch perfect for classic rock, Mode B brings vintage shimmer with relaxed mids for blues and country, while Mode C provides modern tightness with solid low-end for metal and progressive styles.
Dynamic Reactance Control: This isn't your grandfather's presence knob — it's a sophisticated tone-shaping tool that simultaneously sculpts midrange and treble frequencies with variable phase inversion, giving you surgical control over your amp's voice.
Channel-Specific Assignment: Assign different IR simulations and power amp structures to each of your three channels, creating completely different amplifier experiences that save automatically to your presets.
Professional Features Built for Every Scenario
Whether you're tracking in Abbey Road or jamming in your bedroom, the SYN-20IR adapts to your environment with professional-grade features that ensure perfect tone in every situation.
True Cab-Less Operation: Run direct to your recording interface or front-of-house with confidence — the advanced IR processing provides realistic speaker cabinet response that rivals the best isolation cabinets, minus the bulk and volume.
Universal Voltage Compatibility: Take your tone anywhere in the world without transformers or re-biasing — just flip the voltage switch, swap the fuse, and you're ready to rock from Nashville to Tokyo.
Studio-Silent Monitoring: The dedicated headphone output with independent volume control lets you practice with full tube saturation at whisper-quiet levels, perfect for late-night inspiration sessions or apartment living.
The SYN-20IR: Your Complete Tone Arsenal Awaits
The Synergy SYN-20IR is your ticket to unparalleled tone. Combining the warmth of classic tubes with modern digital precision and modular flexibility, this compact unit adapts to your musical journey. Perfect for both weekend players and touring pros, the SYN-20IR delivers iconic rock tones with the convenience and reliability today's musicians need.
