Probably the best Synergy module available right now

Tudor Adrian 16.08.2023

Yeap - probably the best one of the bunch.
2 identical channels each with their own BE/HBE and Saturation (aka the Jose mod) switches.
Then, on the inside, it's got a switch to flip the module to Low-Gain or High-Gain mode along with the FAT switch (adds more fullness to the tone - great for single coils). These inside switches though affect both channels so if you flip the FAT switch ON, it'll be on for both the module's channels; same goes for the gain Structure switch. It would have been too good to have the FAT and STRUCT switches available on a per-channel basis as well but the front-plate's already as crammed as it can get so I get why this did not happen.

With the gain STRUCT in Low mode, the BE channel can get REALLY good clean tones with the Gain knob dialed down while cranking the Gain up on the other channel can get you anywhere from Crunch to tight aggressive / percussive metal (no boost needed - enabling the SAT switch adds even more perceived gain and compression).

With the gain STRUCT in High mode, you can get edge of breakup / crunch tones with the Gain pot turned down in BE mode; cranking the Gain up going into HBE mode gives you that wild & articulate British tone Friedman's famous for.

All in all, great module; a lot of available range in just this one preamp.

Sounds and responds just like an amp head

Twangerbanger 30.04.2024

Headline should actually say sounds like bunch of kickass amps!
As a disclaimer I need to mention I own and use Marshall SLs, JMPs, JCM 800s, Fender Supersonic, EVH mk3 just to cover the spectrum from AC/DC AY, Alice in Chains, NIN, Sabbath to Stoner or QOSA.
The BE DLX does the job for most just as or almost as good and some tempted to say better.
It take all various types of boost, gain and distortion/fizz pedals exceptionally well.
I fired this bad boy up and was able to immediately dial in a good sound.
The controls, EQ and toggle switches are very effective are straight forward and PO provide all the flexibility Of a need to get rockin'.
I was quite sceptical but now the BE-DLX has become the center piece of my spund setup.

Better than HBE module

ZeeKay 20.08.2023

More versatile and higher gain than the other Friedman synergy modules. Sounds tighter and bigger but it’s noisy and one needs a noise gate with higher than 1 o’clock gain in HBE setting. The Soldano module is much lower noise, not sure why it’s done this way, maybe the original amps noise floor is different. Great product otherwise.

Hyper polyvalant

Sebsan 27.02.2024

Le meilleur module que j'ai pu essayer.
Quoiqu'un peu "boxy" comme son, mais il parait que l'original est comme ça. On peut tout faire, du blues au métal (pas trop de jazz :) )
Une étoile en moins tout de même pour l'utilisation.
Devoir retirer le module pour modifier les modes SAT et de FAT... C'est pénible
