Hey, everyone -- what should I get as a backup amp?

[ninjaraf]

Yeah, if you're doing the Synergy stuff, I would probably look at the SYN-30.

Is that a combo or 1 module head? I forget which off the top of my head.

How are the lows these days?

It's the 1 module head.

haha they're doing great!

So still rocking the ninja lows?

GC has a Generator 100R for 1500. I'd get that or a 100CL personally.

Isn't that the clean channel (blue?), green channel and (R)ed channel?

If you run across a used egnater seminar head, they have an awesome series fx loop that makes a killer mono power amp.

Plus, bruce invented the modules. It sounds great with his power amp design.

Has anyone here used the KSR power amps (PA25, PA50)? If so, are they any good?

Raf had the PA50 and liked it. I wish they had a rackmount kit for it but it should be easy to mount it to a rack tray.

It would definitely be more easily implemented into an existing setup versus the odd form factor it has. Quite a few reviews on the site for the PA50 seem to have used it with the Synergy stuff with good results. I'm curious about the Syn-5050, but some have had issues with tubes being too big, as well as the PA50, Engl E840, and Fryette 2/50/2, though the last two are pretty pricey at $1600+. I'm not particularly interested in buying 20+ year old power amps that will likely need to get recapped.

I had the Syn 50-50 for 3 hours and returned it That's how much I disliked it. It sounds muddy, but also thin.
