SynergyVAI Steve Vai Signature 2-Channel Preamp Module - Green
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as Steve Vai’s two-channel Synergy module, the VAI puts a clean-to-slight-breakup blue channel alongside a red channel built for heavier gain and harmonic sustain. Each channel has Gain, Volume and three-band EQ, then its own pair of voicing switches: Fat and Bright on blue, Bright and Boost on red. It gives a Synergy rig two distinct starting points that can be adjusted from the module’s front panel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building a Synergy guitar rig with separate clean, breakup, high-gain and sustaining sounds.
- Direct recording, lower-stage-volume setups, and compact guitar rigs using the Synergy module system.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Switching between both channels in older single-channel Egnater or Randall modular units.
