Tube Tonal Power for Your Rig or Desktop

Get to know them!

Synergy Amplification's SYN1 single-module preamp places the true-tube tone of a cranked amplifier directly on your desktop. In conjunction with any one of Synergy's all-tube preamp modules, you'll take advantage of its Friedman-designed, cab-emulated XLR output, Fryette-engineered Sag control, and much more. And by utilizing the SYN1's effects loop and direct-to-amp outputs, it even makes a killer addition to your live amp rig, whether using it as your front end or adding two channels to the amp you already love and use. For such a compact device, the Synergy SYN1 is one of the most powerful pieces of tube gear you can own.

All-tube guitar tracking solution

Synergy's SYN1 preamp unleashes the power of the preamp module of your choice and sends it directly to your DAW with the finesse of a perfectly recorded tube amp. To ensure your playing experience exactly mimics a cranked amp, SYN1 utilizes a Fryette-designed (of Fryette and VHT amps) Sag control which dials in how responsive the unit is to your playing. And if you prefer the sound of your own impulse responses, simply bypass the SYN1's cabinet emulation and send a direct tone to your tracks.

Expand your live rig

The SYN1 preamp shines in the live arena as well. Around back, you'll find a bevy of I/O that allows you to insert the preamp into the series effects loop of your favorite amplifier. This opens up a world of switching options. First, you can plug straight into the SYN1 and bypass the amp's front end altogether. Or use the four-cable-method and you're able to add two footswitchable channels to your rig with ease. And the SYN1 even boasts its own transparent effects loop, so you're still able to get the most from your time-based effects when having the SYN1 in your amp's loop.

Synergy Amplification

Merriam-Webster defines synergy as, "A mutually advantageous conjunction or compatibility of distinct business participants." With Synergy Amplification's combining of tube-amp talents that includes Dave Friedman (Friedman), Joe Morgan (Morgan), Steven Fryette (Fryette and VHT), Mike Soldano (Soldano), and Peter Diezel (Diezel), the name is a perfect fit. Each product is painstakingly crafted by these titans of the tube-amp world, ensuring every nuance of their legendary amplifiers is translated to your tone. For the most iconic tones in the most convenient package possible, Sweetwater is proud to offer you Synergy Amplification.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
