The Synergy SYN-2 Rackmount Dual Modular Dock is the ultimate way to unleash the power of Synergy’s modular tube preamps in a rack-ready format. With room for two Synergy modules, the SYN-2 delivers authentic boutique tube tone, powerful direct recording options, and seamless integration with any amp or studio rig.
The Synergy SYN-2 Rackmount Dual Modular Dock is a host for Synergy Amplifier Modules. At Front End Audio, we love how the Synergy SYN-2 bridges the worlds of pro studio recording and modern rig control. The SYN-2 makes it simple to capture legendary tube guitar tones without compromise. With its cabinet-simulated XLR out, Fryette-designed Sag control, and MIDI programmability, this single-space rack preamp can transform your guitar recording setup. The SYN-2’s balanced XLR output with high-quality cabinet simulation makes it easy to record real tube tone without the need for mics or additional gear. Prefer your own impulse responses? Just bypass the cab sim and load your favorite IRs. Designed with legendary amp builder Steven Fryette, the onboard Sag control ensures that every note feels and responds like a true high-end tube amp. Combine this with an effects loop and ground lift, and you’ve got a professional-grade direct recording solution.
Transform Any Amp
Plug the SYN-2 into the effects loop return or power amp input of any compatible amplifier and instantly replace its onboard preamp with the boutique Synergy module of your choice. With a quick module swap, you can turn your rig into a Friedman BE, a Diezel VH4, a Morgan AC40, or any other legendary design from Synergy’s library.
Add Four Footswitchable Channels
Already love your amp but wish you had more tonal options? The SYN-2 adds four additional channels (two from each installed module) to any amp with a series effects loop. Using the programmable Synergy 5F footswitch or a MIDI controller, you can move seamlessly between your amp’s natural tone and the SYN-2’s modules—opening up an entirely new world of versatility without losing your original sound.
MIDI & Footswitch Control
The SYN-2 is fully MIDI-capable, making it easy to integrate into advanced rigs. It accepts both 5- and 7-pin connections, includes MIDI Thru for chaining multiple devices, and even supports phantom power for compatible foot controllers. The optional Synergy 5F footswitch offers five programmable buttons to select channels or bypass the unit, giving you intuitive control over your setup.
