0:10 "Or even Strypah..." 1) Yes I am familiar with them, surprisingly. Michael Sweet is one of the great underrated metal singers. 2) Surprised to hear they used the IIC+--the Mesa with mids (relative to the Dual Rec, anyway). 3) Am pretty sure Leon is an endless fountain of obscure 80s guitar knowledge at this point. Really surprised that the Dual Rec ended up edging out of Marks as Mesa's most popular amp, as the Marks are so much more flexible. Love all the knobs, switches, and do-hickeys. The backlit graphic EQ is really classy, and it doesn't look quite as "70s 8 track tape player"-ish as the big flat Mesa EQ sliders. The best approach I think is to do what Devin Townsend did in Strapping Young Lad--use the Dual Rec and the Mark together to offset each other's weaknesses and reinforce their strengths.
Man, I've got this module, and you've just inspired me to go play with it some more. I have never tried a few of the things you showed us here. Thanks for sharing! The only other module I've got is the Plexi. It's a little redundant, as I've got an older Ceriatone 1987 head that I've done the Neil 2-in-1 (1987/2204) mod to. So, rather than the Plexi module, I'd rather have either the 800 (which might also be a little redundant) or the newest Deliverance module. So if anyone wants to trade, let me know! LOL
I have yet to hear you demo a Synergy module I didn't love. No exception here. If I were going to start over with a new rig, Synergy would be at the core.
WOW.... I am planning to buy the Mesa JP 2C 100 watt head soon, and I had no idea the 2C was THIS versatile!!!!!!!! Almost seems like it can do anything
They should have let you do the launch demo for the mark 2C+ reissue. They wouldn’t have been roasted in the comments!
Hahaha they know where to find me!
Man... if you're looking for that vintage 80s Metallica tone, this module definitely seems to nail it.
So tight, so chunky
Always appreciate you and your content, Leon. Cheers.

Awesome tones and playing mate! That Ultra II is quite cool too!
Fryette knows his stuff!
@ he surely does!
Can't believe synergy didn't actually model the boogie whistle all the IICP reissues are doing!

Oh that scooped tone on your new les paul 🥰🥰😍🤘🙏
Dude! I am thrilled that you threw in Stryper there!
Totally, their sound is iconic!

I hope they come out with a 4 module loader at some point - it would be unprecedented for versatility!

The architecture gives you a lot of control over your tone, they're such a versatile amp
Me having a BEBB and a Uberschall it’s tough to kick anything out of that set up, but I wouldn’t mind trying one
Crap... I need one now
I think all our brains snapped to that thought! 😂 👍
I can’t decide if I should get this or the drect. This is more flexible but a recto is a recto. Probably gonna get both because I’m addicted to gear.🙂
Both, then you have the ultimate Mesa/Boogie that they'll never make!
holy shit the tones from this are insane but how do u use this thing im a noob with racks and preamps
dude you gonna get the reissue? Do you think it would change your opinion of the Mark IV as your fav?
Definitely keen to try one. I like the simplified layout vs the IV
Is that a John Sykes Les Paul?
I'd rather have this on stage than a modeller.
Where are the modern metal tones?
