SynergySYN-20IR 20W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp - Tan Steer
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Tan Steer SYN-20IR pairs a 20W EL84 tube power amp with a 12-inch Celestion Vintage 30 in a three-channel combo. One channel is an onboard clean voice; the other two are built for a Synergy preamp module, so the amp's preamp section can be changed independently of the combo. Four IR locations can be assigned by channel for direct recording, headphones, or front-of-house use. Its global master, series effects loop, MIDI capability, and balanced XLR output support organized studio and stage routing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitarists building a three-channel combo around separately available Synergy preamp modules.
- Direct recording, headphone sessions, and front-of-house feeds with channel-programmed IRs.
- Live or studio setups that use MIDI presets, an effects loop, and balanced XLR output.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a complete two-channel Synergy module setup without buying modules separately.
- Setups requiring more than four onboard IR locations.
