Featuring two 12AX7 tubes, SYNERGY Friedman HBE Preamp Module gives you the exact tone and feel of the HBE-boosted BE-100.
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.
The Synergy HBE pre-amp features two channels. Each channel has a gain and volume knob with a shared three band EQ.

SYNERGY SYN-1 Single Module Tube Preamp is a roadworthy, professional housing that is compatible with any of Synergy’s interchangeable preamp modules. Want to change your sound ? Simply slide in a different Synergy preamp module and you can access a whole new array of boutique amp tones.
Using the SYN-1 loaded with a Synergy module you can :

– Go direct out (XLR or ¼”) into a recording console, concert venue mixer or powered monitor
– Add two new “boutique” channels to your current amp via the series effects loop of your amplifier

The SYN-1’s direct XLR output boasts a cabinet simulation that is second to none, offering you a studio-grade tone that is as effortless to attain as hooking up an XLR cable. If have your own impulse response , simply bypass the cab sim on the back of the unit.
Synergy worked hand in hand with legendary amp designer, Steven Fryette to outfit the SYN-1 with a front-mounted Sag control, supplying you with the feel and response that only a great tube amp can give.
