Please let me know what you guys might advise, based on a couple of options that I'm working through. I'm currently playing my SYN-2 set up in a home studio situation, using headphones almost all the time. Currently, I'm running the SYN-2 into my Two Notes CAB-M and using the power amp simulation in addition to cab IR's. The power amp simulation is OK and let's face it- it's simply modeling some EQ curves that one may get with a real tube power amp set up. It's decent enough.
I have run the SYN-2 into my tube amps via 4 cable method with good tonal results, but it's a sloppy and tedious set up that's quite messy and inconvenient (accessing back of racks, running cables everywhere, having to troubleshoot hum, flipping things around, etc.). I'd just rather consider a dedicated (preferably rack-mounted) power amp.
On the Synergy thread, some of you have commented that it's an acceptable idea to run the SYN-2 into a tube power amp and then into my Suhr Reactive Load to get back to line level. Since I'm not looking for big wattage, a simple tube power amp could do the trick. If you have recommendations for such a unit, please let me know- I know there's the discontinued Mesa 2020, the 20 watt Mooer Tube Engine, and of course for much more money, the Synergy 5050 (but I don't think need that much power and don't prefer to spend the big bucks, if avoidable). Your input is greatly appreciated.
