I agree on both, but I like the lead tones better on the Uber, call me crazySinging leads? SLO
Crunchy modern rhythms? Uberschall
Love the Savage sound, don't like the scooped PB. This is just my opinion.Savage vs Powerball, anyone ?
I watched that video a few months back, before buying any Synergy stuff. I had forgotten how cool that Deliverance module was. Easy to do, since it's not released yet, and not on the site.That Deliverance module demo, even though it was recorded under the worst conditions/room noise etc, was the reason I decided to order the Synergy Syn2 and am watching every web site I can to order the Deliverance module the moment it drops.
I had a GP/DI. I really liked the Deliverance voicing switch setting. I liked all the voicings but the deliverance was it.I watched that video a few months back, before buying any Synergy stuff.

Henning described it as a souped up 800. I wonder how the other two Fryette modules (Pitbull and Ultra Lead) compare.

Thanks. Had no idea!
Pittbull module is the Ultralead. The Deliverance amp is based on the orange channel on the Pittbull amps, but the dual gain controls make it extremely versatile. You can go from Vox chime to balanced plexi to fat Bogner type tones with one knob. The red channel on the Pittbulls has more gain, and a midrange shift. The red is more Super Lead Marshall, the orange is more Super Bass imho.I watched that video a few months back, before buying any Synergy stuff. I had forgotten how cool that Deliverance module was.

IMHO both are great for modern metal. I think the Powerball might be a better choice for single note & drop tuning/djent/industrial riffing while the Savage might be a little better for warmer sounding chords and leads. Both have silly amounts of gain available, the Powerball has more of a clean channel than the Savage if that’s of interest to anyone. Again, I like both modules - they’re keepers.Savage vs Powerball, anyone ?
The Deliverance amp is a single channel, dryer hot rodded 800. So you're almost there. The voicing is pretty unique. The gain is dryer than a usual Marshall, so there's less saturation, but it has more gain than a standard 800.I watched that video a few months back, before buying any Synergy stuff.

Agreed. The Deliverance is the truth.The Deliverance amp is a single channel, dryer hot rodded 800. So you're almost there. The voicing is pretty unique. The gain is dryer than a usual Marshall, so there's less saturation, but it has more gain than a standard 800.
The Pittbull is much dryer than the Deliverance, thus comes across much tighter as well. But they're both tight amps. I've found the Pittbull to be way more divisive, you either love them or hate them. The Deliverance on the other hand is almost universally loved.
I've owned 3 Fryette's, 2 Fryette inspired MTS modular preamps, and countless digital models / profiles. The one thing this Synergy module has that the real Deliverance doesn't, is 2 channels, which is pretty spectacular. It will always be in my Top 5 amps.

Generally it means less saturated, which can in turn make it appear to have less gain. If you want more saturation, a Maxon OD808 will have you covered.Thanks for the detailed description.
My one question: dryer?
I generally understand guitar tones described as fat, thin, tight, chimey, glassy, dark, bright, etc. Even wet, but that tends to relate to delay or reverb slathered on. What do you mean by "dry"?
Thank you!Generally it means less saturated, which can in turn make it appear to have less gain. If you want more saturation, a Maxon OD808 will have you covered.
Less compression and odd order harmonics than you'd typically find in a high gain amp. Also, the eminence speakers fryette uses are very stiff in sound and feel, making the amps seem hard to play if you're used to the creaminess of more compressed amps. Using other speakers helps immensely, and the fanes they are now using are excellent.Thanks for the detailed description.
