Features include:
• A clean, transparent high-headroom preamp section that accepts all types of pedals,
faithfully reproducing every nuance of your sound.
• A post-preamp effects loop that can be switched to “line level” for rack effect systems, or “instrument level” for pedals and pedalboard systems.
• Two independent on-board pedal power supplies to power most any type of effects pedal: 9 volt DC up to 0.9 amps, and 18 volt DC up to 0.9 amps.
• The sleek, ultra portable integrated head and speaker cabinet system designed by Synyster
Gates makes it easy to organize your effects systems, and easy to use in any playing
environment.
• The SG-22 speaker cabinet features a compact, finely tuned open-back design that affords a large, full sound, and is loaded with a Celestion V-Type 12” speaker.
• Latches on the speaker cabinet allows use as a separate head/cabinet pair, or latched
together as a combo. Casters make transporting the SG-22 effortless.

A NOTE FROM SYN:
An important note about the SG-22: It is a Pedal Platform Amplifier (PPA). This means it is intended to be used with your favorite distortion and overdrive pedals to achieve the distorted gain stages that most players desire.
I decided to create a PPA rather than a traditional high-gain amplifier because of its versatility. The clean tones are designed for maximum transparency, allowing the character of your distortion pedals to truly shine. That said, the cleans ended up sounding incredible on their own—a result I’m especially proud of.
I used the SG-22 in tandem with my signature distortion pedal, the Original Syn (COMING SOON), for most of my rhythm and lead tones on LIBAD, along with a wide array of overdrives and modulations to craft the album’s unique soundscapes. It proved to be an outstanding foundation that exceeded all my expectations.
More details on the Original Syn to come very soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy building your own distinctive soundscapes—the possibilities are truly endless.
Much love,
Syn
