CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA...
Youre definitely sweet.
NUMBER ONE
Va-China!
Shiny shiny shiny. Have a great sexy time!!!
Ola is trafficking now? Hehe jk
I’m glad I’m not the only guitarist out there that plays the same warm up riffs and licks all the time
Visceral Abomination the weird ones play different stuff for a warmup😂
The original Randall modular MTS was a Bruce Egnater design, he had his own modular amps the M4 and he's a part of Synergy amps. I'm glad to see you demo these, I've been drooling over the Synergy stuff for over a year now.
Synergy is MTS compatible. If you have MTS modules you can use them on the Synergy chassis. You MIGHT be able to use the Synergy modules on the MTS chassis.
Yes that is what i just said in my post before I saw yours. You can use the MTS modules in the synergy amps.
Conversely: You can't use dual channel modules on Randall amps
(but you can on Egnater M4 amps AND you can get the Randall amps modded, not sure about the Randall RM4 preamp though)
I had a SYN2, an SLO module, and a TDLX module for a few weeks earlier this year (it was part of my phase-two testing of the guitar circuit I invented, and I returned them when testing did not turn out well). The Synergy system is great, and it works as it should (e.g. the Fender Twin channel of the TDLX has massive input headroom, as one would expect). I plan to order a SYN1 and a BMAN module in a few months.
Marcus The Vile I was wondering if there was some connection
5:50 D....N....R!!!!!
Nobody busts that riff out! Thank you Ola...you are now Top 3 Swede to me!
Do you have to blow out the dust before using it, like the old NES Modules..?
...but more importantly, does it takes old NES modules?
Or put your old Ocean Pacific Velcro wallet filled paper to keep the modules down hahaha
@@1thess523 OMG I have one of those wallets from when i was a kid. Still got it
@@1thess523 LOL

For some odd reason he left out:

I think he said "see'er of sounds" lol
Man's got more nicknames than a Lord Of The Rings character
So cool, its like a physical tube version of an axe fx.
SOLDANO sounded killer!!!
my god.. im in love with this product...amazing video!!
That Morgan module sounds killer. Absolutely slays the chime-y clean thing. That as my clean channel and the Friedman DS module as my dirt and I’ll be a happy, happy boy.
It's like an API 500 series lunchbox for guitar amps... I LOVE IT! Sounds GREAT too!
The best way to change your sound on the fly. Sounds great! The Soldano preamp is the one I prefer the most.
I think this is the first time Ola's sound is a little different, I like it!
Despite trying to make them all sound the same. Amazingly they were not far off. Synergy should have sent them to someone else. The Morgan can get the cleanest tone you have ever heard. Think David Gilmore
Great video Ola!!Synergy amp' s hit the Mark with this concept!!
Barely woke up, switched here and laughed my ass off. Made my day already. I am not even interested in modular stuff in the first place but you Mr, are a class entertainer. Thanks :)
Great and clear explanations, thank you Ola!
Hey Ola!
Love the video.
Thanks for doing what you do, I've learned a lot. The Engl module sounded best to me!
I really like the idea of this and they sound great
The concept of adding channels to an existing amp and not losing your fx loop is awesome. I believe in this Synergy system of manufacturers working together to develop the modules and all the parties involved getting paid for the designs of the modules. I have been waiting for this concept to develop further. I am just not interested any more in the digital amp stuff. I like digital fx like delays and reverbs. Having the ability to mix and match with hardware is my preference. Great job Ola!
This is awesome! And that intro song was AMAZING
Love the sound and something I see owning one in the future
The chug master strikes again! Opening riff and others are awesome!
I love these modular amplifiers.
Synergy really should make some bass stuff, that would be awesome
Great video Ola!!! Synergy does great stuff!
Thank you Ola, for making me feel ok about my math skills.
Oh man! I've 1.) been waiting for you to demo these and 2.) been waiting for that Engl pre amp to come out. Sold!
I'm more of a traditional Amp kind of guy but this is actually pretty fuckin cool. I know a lot of guitar players, myself included who always think and talk about combining the best qualities of 2 different amps they love. Mesa rectifier and Marshall JCM 800 always comes to mind
It's important to note that Synergy also offers an all tube 100 watt power amp that is a single rack space configuration with 4 6l6's, which is incredible to me. Haven't seen any other company accomplish that, but I'm sure somebody else has done it at some point and I just don't know about it. Excellent video Ola as always, been waiting for this one. Saw the amp behind you in a few videos.
Yeah, the power amp seems pretty sweet. If I recall correctly, Fryette designed it.
Nice tone and nice riff in the beguining.
I’m usually never interested in the gear, Ola makes it interesting, and I watch these demo vids of this gear I’ll never use (except the hm300 I got that one) but I still love it!
It’s cool! Entertaining! I love watching Ola enjoy all this stuff he gets to try out lol 😂
I know there's a bunch of people not liking this thing, but for me this thing IS SO FUCKING COOL.
Its literally like the amp is a gaming console and the preamp is the game!!! I freaking love it!! I hope to God this company gets a bunch of preamps, because I would love this! Im constantly trading in amps for new ones and this would fix it!!
I'm impressed cheers ola
Damn, those riffs!
man i really think this is a amazing idea and it seems to sounds so damn good! and i love how you did this video by the way ola
Very cool opening riff !
Awesome, Ola! Thanks for a Soldano SLO demo (even if it just a pre-amp)!!
soldano sounds great!
Pretty cool Ola!!!! Top 5 Swedish People!
1. Ola Englund
2. Johan Hegg
3. Yngwie Malmsteen
4. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
5. Bjorn Borg
There's definitely nothing more stereotypically Swedish than the name Zlatan Ibrahimović.
@@mememem Zlatan Aint swedish tho, the name is not swedish ether
Zlatan is not swedish
He was born in Malmo?!
Zlatan is from Bosna...not from
Sweden
Glad to see modular preamps making a come back. The Randall MTS, as mentioned was a great idea. It came in various forms, rack mount, amp head, with swappable preamps. It's cool that they are made with the actual vendors.
Sick tone.
Sounds awesome
Yup , the Soldano or the Engle !! That is an awesome product !!
Love you're videos bro want once of your solar guitars
That look at 8:11 into the video is priceless. Amazing.
you're my go-to amp guru
FANTASTIC IDEA
Love the tone from some of these. They seem to be very low noise. Solid demo sir.
Opeth is using Synergy for their touring rig. I liked your review Ola. Top notch reviewerer as always!
Such a badass idea!
Soldano mod instantly sounded spot on! Slo 100 ftw!
The SYN 1 might have the first analog cab sim that sounds good to me. Wow.
Man, the riffs today🔥🔥🔥
I think these modular amps are genius. I kind of already have a setup like this using a Kemper as a pre-amp into a Marshall poweramp. I am most tempted by that SLO100 module.
Yo Ola big fan enjoy watching your videos, entertaining and learning what products hold their value or just no Bueno.
Will it chug!! Is classic, many thanks for your time.
Great choices of riffs (D.N.R & Strange Deja Vu)
i really hope that these things eventually become as modular as modular synths, then each person's tone will be more unique than ever
The Morgan and soldano fucking ripped. The clarity of the Morgan made my dingle tingle.
I love love love Soldanos!
Great concept!
You are the BEST gear reviewer ever!! Plus, you could make a Crate sound acceptable (pls don't, cuz then I'll want to buy one). This Synergy amp would be more interesting if it could combine the the preamp sounds. Otherwise I like my mess of different heads.
Anyone can make a Crate sound good. EQ is an important skill.
Dang, these sound sick!🤘
I just got the synergy 50 50. Power head and I’m going to use it for my fractal fm3
I NEED THIS AMP!
Dude that fuckin opening riff/song is amazing.
Wow thats tone!
Another great product & great review...like the MTS series, the Syn is great but horrendously expensive, it'll be interesting to see how it competes with the many options out there.
you play some sick riffs in this video, damn it!
Hey Ola,i'm new to your channel,but i'm loving everything i've watched so far.My question is,do you like Drop tuning better than standard ones? I know you play in all kinds of tunings,but i'm just curious about your preference.
Ola, you're so wise and beautiful
Really diggin' the look of the Poplar Solars! Amp sounds crushing, Friedman Module sounded the best in my opinion 🤘🏻
wtf this sounds huge i like it. that soldano is awesome.
Damn what's the riff in the beginning, or is it your own? Sounds really cool
+1
Exactly what i was about to ask
This totaly should make it onto the next haunted album!
The one at about 5:45 is D.N.R. off Testament's the Gathering album. Great song IMO. \m/ 8)
Ola makes everything Djent!
I'm a user of the original MTS line and have a lynchbox with a few modules. They do sound great BUT the limitation will always be the power amp. It is better for some preamps than others. For example, the AC/Morgan stuff will sound better through EL84's and a diff power amp but hey its good enough. While many tube amps can be dialed in to sound the same, this stuff is no different. Great to have a ton of preamps but if you all make them sound the same, you probably don't need that many.
Designed by Egnater then Randall acquired the MTS module system. The Synergy system, was cool enough to have backwards compatibility with the previous designs.
Ola is back!
I wonder if OLA "the man beast" realizes he is the most
famous/successful guitar play in the metal world right now. For real dude you are the real dude! We can see your dedication and hard work. Alaso that amp sounds amazing! 😭 😭 😭😭 😭
Damn I been waiting on that Savage model since I heard of Synergy
If i were to choose, it be the Soldano and Engl savage. Tremendous stuff.
Well illustrated, briefly...
I like the idea of this system and I think it sounded great - to have a small size tube pre like this for recording at home would be great. It is quite pricey though - $499 for the empty SYN-1 chassis and then $399 to purchase one module. At this price you are not too far off from purchasing an AX8, yes it's a modeller but hugely flexible. Maybe they will do some bundle deals in future that would make this more affordable.
Sounds pretty tight!
Riff and lyric from:
Act I: Scene Two: II. Strange Déjà Vu
Sang av Dream Theater
Thanks! Couldn't remember this.
I need this.
This is amazing....
11:08 is the Soldano SLO module. Sounds tight.
Damn... I've been looking for the best way to get my pedalbord (with regular pedals) to FOH with a fair tone... Think I found the way... Syn 1... Not the cheapest way but it seems to be stellar... 🙏😊♥️
Bruce Egnater is the main designer and patent holder behind Synergy. The Randall MTS system was manufactured under that same patent even share compatibility.
I started singing “ back on my feet again” too hahaha
Ola "Make the amp sound the same again" for president.
Great personality. Prefer old school amps but preamp modules are easy to transport!
The SLO module is the clear winner.
I was considering the syn power amp to use with my Kemper. I've heard that it wasnt real loud. I need to check one out or maybe Fortin will have power amps soon
Nice project....
I got so many damn engls im using them for pillows and steps to get in the cabinets.
I love this concept, I am torn about getting the head or just building the syn2 and to get the syn 50/50 single space stereo amp. Love all the options. My Mesa Boogie Nomad 100, sounds great, but it has a parallel fx loop, not serial. I currently slave to another amp for stereo. The 2nd amp is a Musicman HD150 with out an fx loop. It sounds great, but can't intergrate these Synergy systems. I am just thinking of buying the stereo power amp by Synergy first and gradually get the syn 2 system. The heads are cool too! I think it is awesome these Synergy amps and pre-amps are backwards compatible with Randall mts, Engel, and custom modules that were made prior.
That’s awesome 👏
If I'm not mistaken, the Morgan AC is based on the original Vox AC30, that's why it says AC.
I love the face you do when you start chugging and the amp sound sick.
The Morgan AC module is based on Morgan's AC amps, which contain tweaked versions of Vox's 12AX7-based preamps (no EF86).
The Randall MTS system was basically the same thing...no digging around in the amp. As a matter of fact, those old modules work in the Synergy, and the Synergy modules will work in the old Randall gear, but only 1 channel. If I didn't already have a Kemper I'd pick up a Syn1, since I have 5 or 6 MTS modules laying around, but can't justify spending any more $$ based on how shitty I play and how little I play these days. The Kemper was my "once in a lifetime" purchase. Of course, I pretty much play only on one profile (though yours are pretty killer), and I could have bought that particular amp for 1/2 the price of the Kemper lol.
