    I am interested in obtaining Syn's tone as close as possible. I will be switching my pups to the Vader's soon and have a Blackstar ID Core 2 right now. Thinking of getting a Line 6 pod. But what other methods would you go about. Pedals? Etc? It seems that Chorus plays a good part. Help a Syner out?

    i think that before that he mentioned using a bogner in some interviews. also a tube screamer i think
    l. not quite sure of the amp settings but for me i put my lows at 3 or 4 my mids at around 5 and highs around 4. also dont crank your drive all the waay up. you just kinda gotta play with it and over time the tones your looking for will xome to you more quickly. oh and also when your trying to dial the amp, play the song and use your ear. They are an important tool. disclaimer im not pro but im satisfied with the sounds i get.

    When using something like the fractal or line 6, do they work fine with a modeling amp? Or is it better for a powered cab? I never plan to gig so It can be hard to justify the cost on some of the components. I get the buy once cry once but oi.

    A tube screamer in the front end helps. A high gain tube amp. And I think he dials in more highs and mids to cut through the two guitar mix. I had read or saw a video mentioning he likes to use a compressor too. Beyond that, a 10 band eq and maybe another pedal with resonance and presence control. A lot of his lead tone comes from the sustaniac neck pickup.

    I'm not sure as much on the tone from The Stage album, the lead tones are incredible.
