Key Features
The Synergy DRECT 2-Channel Preamp Module is ideal for guitarists pursuing the iconic rectified tones that shaped heavy rock and metal. Its all-tube layout captures the same low-mid weight and saturated gain that defined the earliest Rev C amplifiers.
Product Ref: 355029
This module pays tribute to a defining amplifier by capturing its mix of low-mid heft and saturated drive. Each of the two channels can be assigned either the Orange crunch voice or the Red high-gain voice, making the module adaptable for modern metal, classic hard rock or any genre that benefits from tight, aggressive tones.
This channel flexibility provides more variation than the original amp design and allows fast shifts between rhythm and lead settings. The result is a focused, articulate sound built for high-output pickups and lower tunings.
The three-way cathode select switch alters the bass response and overall feel by changing the input tube circuit. Each position reflects a widely used design approach, giving the module a broad range of low-end behaviour.
Position 3, the preset for this module, offers a tight and punchy response suited to high-gain styles. Exploring the other positions can introduce a slightly looser or firmer character, helping the module fit different guitars, rooms or playing dynamics. This feature encourages simple, practical refinement without the need for extra outboard shaping.
The dual or single slide switch ensures that the module works with both modern Synergy systems and older single-channel modular hardware. Dual mode unlocks full channel switching for newer units, while single mode allows one chosen channel to remain active in older frames. This preserves compatibility across setups built over many years. It also prevents the need to replace older gear while still gaining access to updated tones and features.
The module’s control arrangement keeps shaping straightforward during demanding sessions. Orange and Red voices can be matched with gain and EQ settings that suit tight rhythm parts or soaring leads. The overall feel remains consistent, with the cathode switch and channel assignments offering most of the tonal variation. This simplicity helps maintain focus on playing while still providing the aggressive texture expected from a rectified design.
