Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Synergy’s SYN-20IR is a 20W EL84 tube amp head built around a three-channel layout: a clean channel plus two channels for compatible Synergy preamp modules. Its selectable A, B, and C Power Amp Structure modes and Reactance control give you several ways to shape the power-section response. Four programmable IR slots, USB-based IR management, XLR and line outputs, and a headphone output support direct recording, monitoring, and stage routing. The included three-button MIDI footswitch handles channel, IR, and amp-structure switching.
