I Got The Dream Metallica Amp Collection Using Synergy Amp Modules

Can one amp really recreate every era of Metallica? For years I've been obsessed with chasing James Hetfield's guitar tone. From the raw Marshall crunch of Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightning, to the legendary Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ sound that defined Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All and The Black Album, right through to the crushing Diezel VH4 tones heard on Death Magnetic, Hardwired... To Self-Destruct and 72 Seasons, Metallica's guitar sound has constantly evolved. The problem is that recreating those tones usually means owning multiple expensive amplifiers. So... can one modular amp system actually do it all? In this video I put the Synergy SYN-20IR to the test using three legendary Synergy preamp modules to see if they can recreate some of the most iconic heavy metal guitar tones ever recorded. 🎸 Check out the Synergy Modular Amp System (Affiliate): https://sweetwater.sjv.io/enJGzj 🇬🇧🇪🇺 Thomann (UK & Europe) – My recommended Synergy gear: https://www.thomann.co.uk/thlpg_fgmqu...
