Frequently Asked Questions
No, it's specifically engineered for integration with the Synergy System, leveraging its architecture and features.
The Blue channel aims for a clean, American-style tone, but it's not pristine; expect a slight warmth and responsiveness even at lower gain settings.
As a preamp, it doesn't contain an amplifier section and requires connection to a power amplifier or FRFR speaker system to produce audible sound.
