It depends on the application. I have the Syn 1 on my studio desk with the Two Notes Cab M+ to load power amp emulation and IRs and that's definitely going to be my recording/home playing set up moving forward. It's small, easy to use and very versatile. So that's definitely is staying.
As for the Syn2 as a live rig, I don't know yet. I am still working on getting it dialed in. I recently left my lockout and now we're practicing once a week at the drummers house and that's not a good situation for this type of rig, because with racks you do need to spend quite a bit of time dialing everything in at loud levels. When I had the lockout I could spend hours doing that kind of stuff, now my "loud play" time is very limited. And I don't really like to keep tweaking things doing practice. So that is an issue. In my current situation bringing the head and pedalboard is much easier. So for now, I've been taking both rigs to practice and I play the first half with the Marshall and on the second half I switch to the rack and try to get it dialed in. It's getting closer but I am not there yet. So I am not sure if I am going to keep the rack side of it. One thing I am considering is staying with the system but moving to one of the heads, likely the 50w model.
So in short, I am sold on the Synergy concept for the studio. In that environment it's pretty much like having a 500 series chassis with preamps, but for guitar. Actually I am pretty sure that is where they got this idea from.
For live, I am not sure. I need more time with it and that's difficult right now. We're in the process of buying a new place and we will have a basement where I can build a practice studio that will allow me to play loud. That will make things a lot easier, but we're still a few months away from getting this done...
