Product Description

Synergy preamp modules are unique little 'tone pods' used to tap into your favourite amp sounds. Slide a preamp into your Synergy hardware of choice; either the classic amp, desktop or rackmount configurations and dial in the legendary valve characteristics squeezed into the module.

Every Synergy preamp module contains two classic amp channels powered by two 12AX7 tubes. Installation is extremely simple and does not require any amp building knowledge. All that's left is to let your imagination run wild in your quest for great guitar tone. Collect more modules to expand your tonal possibilities.

Here's what Synergy say about the HBE Preamp Module:

Dave Friedman is the man behind some of the most impressive tones in rock 'n' roll, and has been for over 25 years. Throughout that time, luminary players such as Jerry Cantrell and Steve Stevens have been relying on Friedman's amplifier modifications, repairs, and builds to keep them sounding at the top of their game.

Few modern amplifiers carry the intrigue of Friedman's flagship BE-100. The amp's ability to dish out thick waves of overdriven power while simultaneously keeping the nuanced character of your individual style have made it the go-to amp for players and bands such as Dave Weiner (Steve Vai) and the Foo Fighters.

Dave Friedman-designed

Thanks to the Synergy Friedman HBE preamp, the exact tone and feel of the HBE-boosted BE-100 can be at your fingertips. Far from modeling or emulating, Dave Friedman himself designed this module, nailing every detail of his amp's to-die-for tone and impressive touch sensitivity.

The HBE preamp boasts a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes to power its two channels. Whether you're switching between a high-gain rhythm tone and a boosted lead sound or just want two channels of over-the-top sonic destruction, your tone will always be present, aggressive, and hopelessly addictive. When it’s time to give your Synergy rig cream-of-the-crop high-gain British tone with an extra kick, you'll want to grab an HBE Preamp.

Cathode Select Switch

The Friedman HBE module includes a three position switch which allows you to configure the input tube bass response to match the original circuit of the selected module Patent Pending. Switch setting will will affect the feel and tightness. Each amp designer has a specific combination of components that makes up their input tube circuit. We have selected the three most popular combinations which you can access with this switch.

You can experiment and try any of the positions to see what you prefer. The Friedman HBE module will come preset to Dave Friedman's preferred setting which is switch position 2 (2.7K resistor and .68uf capacitor).
