One of their best modules. Really captures the actual Rec. Have you ever thought about proposing the idea of a Synergy Kraken module to Martin Kidd? I reckon that would sell pretty well.
Hey Rabea, on a different note, I just purchased all of your grinding gears volumes..absolutely amazing stuff. Your writing and playing is addictive and unique....I can't stop listening to it all...absolutely crushing tone on the heavy stuff. And that clean on the edge of breakup tone on "dulcet thing" and "then and now" is unbelievable. Then move on to "collateral damage".....wow what a massive piece of brute power and technical ability. I'm from the john petrucci, vai, satriani, randy Rhodes etc school of players, not that I can play like them but players who have etched there way into my DNA. I must say that you are now in that group for me..please keep up what you are doing, it's just flat out amazing!!!
Every time I listen to Bea play, I ask my kids not to kill each other and go pick up my guitar… The ability to inspire… That’s a powerful attribute to have. 🤘🏻
That is a rad module righter there. That Synergy module sounds as good as the Mesa Boogie Badlander amps when you have a good boost pedal with that Synergy module. I love how the module can help you save space, but I do like the look of some big amps. This could also help you save money instead of buying a big mesa amp if you don't want to spend the money for a big mesa amp. Your improv jamming is always so good.
Bea makes everything sound killer!! If brands are smart, they'll get stuff his way. Rivera really needs to send an amp to you for review. My Royale Recording is an absolutely monster riff machine that flies under the radar.
My only issue with Recto preamps is that the power amp has quite a big impact on the sound, which obviously you're missing out on running into a non Recto poweramp.
Ofcourse synergy is not modeling it is a real preamp with preamp tubes in it, it can’t be more real . But the syn1 like Rabea uses has no poweramp or poweramp emulation .
I have always wondered why someone didn't make a Dual Rec Reproduction with fixes or mods to the original recipe. I'm surprised Synergy was the first(?). At least they were the first I've seen.
You only need a tube screamer if you are running a Fender n need more bite. Beyond that, the Ibby TS is a shrieking disgrace of an OD. Volume is what tightens any Rectifier.
Ah yes, Nu metal. I remember those days. Didn't matter if you'd only just picked up a guitar, literally anyone could start a Nu metal band with drop-D power chords.
Lol the opening riff 😂 Linkin Park took me back to jamming that on my squier affinity with a JB jr into my little tiny Kustom SS cardboard amp :) Just needed some Godsmack. Thanks for the trip down memory lane haha
I think this is the perfect opportunity to go back to the IICP module, that you didn't "get" how to dial in for high gain, but never revisited. Since Boogie are back in Europe, it would be great to see your playing on that module. P.s the pushed clean sounds are to die for! Wish I could play like that with those tones!
Just to clarify for me, you’re going Synergy > Interface > IR? So no power amp emulation? Sounds great! Just curious as would like a Mesa sound to play around with at home but don’t necessarily need a full blown amp head so this could be great for that if so
You might want to wait for the forthcoming Synergy SYN-20IR lunchbox head; it has an internal load for silent use, as does the current SYN-30, as well as an onboard IR host which takes its input from the power amp. I plan to sell my SYN-30 head to buy one, should cut about fifteen pounds of weight.
@@simonbrown1572 Yeah I got that bit but what I wanted to understand was that by turning the amp section off does that basically mean he’s using the cab section and no amp and therefore power amp emulation, so in reality just the Archetype cab which at that point is ultimately just an IR?
Bro i have been playing a long time, drums first instrument, guitar second . I totally dig your playing, it fucking rips. Someone that understands tone. cool
My first tube amp was the rectoverb combo and this really takes me back. Great amp, looking forward to the rumored slo DLX module at somepoint hopefully.
Dual Rec sounds different to a Mark. Mark are a more normal gain stage in front of a Fender sort of Deal. The Dual Rec has that lower resonant peak which results in that lower/flubbier harmonic structure.
I thought this shit was gonna be 300 bucks but it's 500 bucks+ 600 bucks for the Syn 1+ 1200 for their power amp LMAO 2k total... you can literally buy a used Recto for 1400 bucks online.
The point is you can buy the separate modules with all the different models they have and have basically that amp at a fraction of the cost. Buy the Diezel VH4 module and the power amp and you’re roughly a 3rd of the cost of that amp! If you have the synergy stuff already, a $400 module is much more affordable than a 2/3/4k amp.
@@jcmoore5819 it's worth it if you don't own any amps and you want to have a bunch of different sounds.... I already have a Plexi and some high gain amps so for me it's useless since I don't have any interest in getting ENGLs or Friedmans, maybe a Recto but like I said you can buy the real deal for less than 1500 dollars online.
The LP sounded superb, slightly less full on with less low mids, sort of breathed a bit better and would sit better in a mix, these are my thoughts. The module would sound great in a 3 piece to keep a mix nice and clear.
I dreamed of these nu-metal tones as a kid
Finally, an option for Recto tones that doesn't require giving Gibson/Mesa used car money.
One of their best modules. Really captures the actual Rec. Have you ever thought about proposing the idea of a Synergy Kraken module to Martin Kidd? I reckon that would sell pretty well.
Martin had been intrigued by the idea on an episode of tone talk already actually.
Dude.. 4:55 when you switched to position 2 was just golden. One of my favorite tones.
holy crap....i enjoyed each and every single riff you played...soo good

Been jamming it for yrs bro. Welcome!!
Thanks for bringing out the baritone!
Wow, that's some quality riffage man! Loved it!
Every time I listen to Bea play, I ask my kids not to kill each other and go pick up my guitar…

"The Les Paul works". Yes. Yes it does.
This sounded great.
GOD DAMN!!! That thing sounds gooooood!
Thaaank you!!!
That killr tone omg 😮😮😮😮
It would have been nice to hear this through a real cabinet and mic’d. The DI out seems a bit fizzy and undefined.
Hi Bea, can you tell me what's the tuning on sabre? Sound killer!
sounds massive
I want it, can’t have it. I think it’s perfect with or without the screamer.
Tool's 'Jambi' on 9:02 .... 😍
sick sounding, but that fretboard on your sig, musicman just owns!
My only issue with Recto preamps is that the power amp has quite a big impact on the sound, which obviously you're missing out on running into a non Recto poweramp.
The tube screamer makes such a huge difference. Borderline unusable without it and awesome with it.
This module is COC all day
9:25
I really want to learn this Rabea style lick!!
Random, what tuning were you in for this?
Sabre: Drop C
Les Paul: Drop C#
Baritone: Drop A
Sounds great Rabea. How is the feeling playing with that modules, compared with the QC Cortex? Is it more natural and real or is it not? Thanks.
Ofcourse synergy is not modeling it is a real preamp with preamp tubes in it, it can’t be more real .
But the syn1 like Rabea uses has no poweramp or poweramp emulation .
This DRECT module has me ER…… uh sounds amazing
I have always wondered why someone didn't make a Dual Rec Reproduction with fixes or mods to the original recipe. I'm surprised Synergy was the first(?). At least they were the first I've seen.
A Driftwood purple nightmare is essentially a dual rec. Even has built in TS.
14:00 ah. Limp beazkit.
also....while we wait ;)
Mission impossible 😎
Limp Bizkit!
What was the chain here? Does the syn1 have power amp and cab emulation? Or use a plugin for that?
2:27
This video makes me want to go play guitar.
sounds so much tighter with a ts
France here🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🍇🍇
Bon soir!
Slipknot would be perfect w that red stage
Amp so great it needs a tube screamer to make it sound good...

Firrrssdt again !! 2 fer 2
I just realized as you were just noodling chords - a Bea chord of the day would be a pretty rad UA-cam short I'd tune in for.
Best suggestion ever! Would love to see this short especially chord of the day on drop tuned guitars!
Dear sir Rabea, you playing the Nu Metal stuff triggered some memories for me that was nostalgic. Made me feel some kind of way. 🤘
12:06 had me smiling SO BIG. Immediately hit me with nostalgia. So good.
"The Les Paul works."
Japanese Strat :)
that was hilarious.
Ahhh the good ole classic nu metal chords. For some reason, my ear has just such a fondness for it. It has such a beauty to it for some weird reason.
Lol the opening riff 😂
Linkin Park took me back to jamming that on my squier affinity with a JB jr into my little tiny Kustom SS cardboard amp :)
Just needed some Godsmack. Thanks for the trip down memory lane haha

Boogie back in Europe? Care to elaborate? Sounds like good news.
Okay, found some news around that. Checked Thomann...they got them all listed. Those prices though. 🤣
Thank you sir! Japanese Strat into a Blues Junior with a Boss SD-1
I somehow missed subbing after watching your talent grow for a while now. I just rectified that. Sorry for the delay, Bea. Great stuff as always!
Incubus!!!!!!!! Privilege is such an amazing riff
Had some serious Muse sounds going there with the baritone
Limp Bizkit! 🔥🔥
Nobody’s playing some Soundgarden yet, I’m disappointed 🧐
Geez that thing sounds sick! Synergy has been killing it lately.
The best module they've done since now. And superb playing Rebea, as always.
What tuning does Bea run for these brutal riffs?
Incubus!
Just to clarify for me, you’re going Synergy > Interface > IR? So no power amp emulation? Sounds great! Just curious as would like a Mesa sound to play around with at home but don’t necessarily need a full blown amp head so this could be great for that if so

Synergy > interface > neural dsp archetype Rabea using the IR there with delay and reverb (turning the amp section off)
@@simonbrown1572 Yeah I got that bit but what I wanted to understand was that by turning the amp section off does that basically mean he’s using the cab section and no amp and therefore power amp emulation, so in reality just the Archetype cab which at that point is ultimately just an IR?
@@Robstafarian Hadn’t heard of the SYN-20IR before, could be good, thanks! 👍
@@graybronze Please, let me know if my geekery can be of service.
Bro, your tones are SICK!!!
sounds very nasty
Uff!! Sounds killer! Also, your videos are pure inspiration, sir! ❤
🥰
It sounds decent but that’ll be so lost in a live mix. Very sludgy and fuzzy
For those who like these preamp modules, check out the Salvation audio from czech republic 🇨🇿 🤘
Lol Nice Incubus in low range sounded cool
Really thought that 1 second tool riff would slip past us huh? lol
High gain sounds a bit farty and loose for my taste.
But can I get a Hemannson modded Synergy module?
CHUG CHUG
Bro i have been playing a long time, drums first instrument, guitar second . I totally dig your playing, it fucking rips. Someone that understands tone. cool
11:48 felt that smile
Incubus
Isnt it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore?
This is how I remember my 15 watt Spider IV sounding.
Great video dude. Just curious where your hoodie is from. It looks very cool
Hey Bea, how are you dealing with noise?
Your vids are so hi production, can't hear any hum.
Keep on trucking, love your work.
That incubus riff is incredible 😊
Now I know why you wanna hate me!!! 😂
😂
I’ve thought about the synergy systems
🔥
My first tube amp was the rectoverb combo and this really takes me back. Great amp, looking forward to the rumored slo DLX module at somepoint hopefully.
1. Today I learned you can disconnect the amp on Neural plugins....
2. Tough to go wrong with a Rectifier tone.
so cool that it immediately sounds like you...
Aquí, aquí, aquí no hay quien viva !!
Bea! The world badly needs the Axis Baritone as a sterling! I have no clue how the artist collabs work at mm but that would be absoulety amazing!
16:07 Gurns
Get carried away my friend get carried away😊
Time to play likes it's 1999.
I'd be very curious to see this compared to the Synergy IICP, since that module is based on a Mesa Boogie.
Dual Rec sounds different to a Mark. Mark are a more normal gain stage in front of a Fender sort of Deal. The Dual Rec has that lower resonant peak which results in that lower/flubbier harmonic structure.
🤘what is up
Why so many dislikes? One of the best demos tbh..
How you can see the dislikes?
@@schlo9358 i have a chrome extension where u can see the dislikes
Wow that intro riff sounded so legit
sounded like limp bizkit -take a look around
@@droopymccool2383 exactly !! Wes Borland is such amazing riff machine.. Good old time of the early 2000...
Limp Bizkit!
So sneaky @9:01 lmao!
I thought this shit was gonna be 300 bucks but it's 500 bucks+ 600 bucks for the Syn 1+ 1200 for their power amp
