Product Description
The Synergy DRECT is an all-tube, two channel module that pays homage to the legendary rectified amplifiers that have left an indelible mark on heavy rock for over three decades.
For those craving the powerful tones of Metallica, 311, Linkin Park, Korn, Soundgarden and many more, the Synergy DRECT preamp module is your gateway to that iconic rectified sound.
Key Features
- Based on Legendary Amplifiers – This tube preamp module is based on the legendary rectified amplifiers of legend.
- Two Channel - Two channels each with Gain, Volume, 3-Band EQ, Presence.
- Choose Your Sound - Orange / Red Select Switch on Each Channel.
- Quality Tubes - 2 x 12AX7 preamp tubes ensure rich harmonic performance.
- Simple to Install - Easy to install and remove from Synergy preamp docks.
- Dual/Single Switch - This allows the module to be used with older Egnater and Randall hardware.
- Three-Position Cathode Select Switch – This allows you to configure the input tube bias setting for optimum input gain and bass response.
The Synergy DRECT module meticulously captures the game-changing character of this Rev C amplifier by faithfully reproducing the signature girth and articulation that's graced numerous hard rock and metal classics.
Cathode Select Function
The DRECT module features a three-position switch on the PCB which allows you to configure the input tube bass response to match the original circuit of the selected module. This will affect the feel and tightness.
The USA voiced modules typically use setting 1 (1.5K resistor and 22uf capacitor). British-style modules use position 2 (2.7K resistor and .68uf capacitor) and modules like the SOLDANO and VAI modules are set to position 3.
Dual Single Slide Switch
The DRECT module features a secondary switch allowing the new Synergy modules to be used in older single channel Egnater and Randall modular amps/preamps that do not accept the dual channel modules. This allows access to either of the module channels when that slot is turned on.
You can set it so either module channel one or module channel two will turn on when the slot is selected. Set to Dual when using the module in units that have the switching circuit to access both modules. If you are using a single channel only amp/preamp, setting to DUAL will make the bottom module channel active. Set to Single will cause the top channel of the module to come on when selected.
