Key Features
The Synergy SYN-20IR is a compact yet seriously powerful 20-watt all-tube head designed to bring the entire Synergy modular ecosystem to life. Its EL84 power section delivers rich, responsive valve tone, while the onboard clean channel provides classic vintage American character straight out of the box. Add any Synergy dual-channel preamp module and the SYN-20IR becomes a full three-channel amp with tones ranging from sparkling cleans to modern high-gain aggression. Thanks to selectable Structure modes, Reactance control and Fryette-designed Sag response, the SYN-20IR feels and reacts like a far larger valve amplifier, giving players a dynamic, inspiring experience at any volume.
Integrated impulse-response technology allows silent recording and cab-less performance with ultra-low latency, and users can load their own IRs via the free Synergy Editor software. The included 3-button MIDI footswitch makes it easy to move between channels, Structure settings and IR presets on the fly. With universal voltage compatibility, an ultra-transparent series FX loop, XLR DI, headphone output and rugged steel chassis, the SYN-20IR is built for the studio, stage and home practice. This is the most flexible way to access Synergy?s library of legendary amp voices in a tube-driven head that fits anywhere.
Product Ref: 354999
The SYN-20IR combines a vintage-voiced clean channel with the two channels of any installed Synergy module, effectively creating a three-channel boutique amp. From shimmering cleans and edge-of-breakup tones to saturated modern distortion, the modular system offers a huge tonal range. With a growing library of modules based on iconic circuits, the head can instantly become a Diezel VH4, Friedman BE, Soldano SLO, Morgan AC, Tone King Imperial and many more.
Selectable Structure modes reconfigure the power-amp behaviour to suit each channel, from balanced and punchy (Mode A) to vintage sparkle (Mode B) or tight, modern low-end clarity (Mode C). The Reactance control works hand-in-hand with Structure to fine-tune presence, mids and attack. Paired with Fryette’s Sag control, the SYN-20IR responds with the nuance, bloom and push-pull dynamics of a full-sized valve amp, even at low volume or when running direct.
The onboard IR engine uses a dedicated 500 MHz ARM DSP to deliver cabinet simulations with virtually zero latency. Four IR slots are available from the front panel and are fully assignable per channel, while users can manage the included 13 IRs and load their own through the Synergy Editor software. This makes the SYN-20IR a complete recording solution without the need for microphones or external processors.
With full MIDI implementation and the included 3-button programmable footswitch, the SYN-20IR can store and recall up to 128 presets combining channels, IRs and Structure modes. The head also features an ultra-transparent series FX loop, cab-less operation, XLR DI with ground lift, headphone output and multiple speaker outs. Its universal-voltage design ensures reliable performance anywhere in the world.
