Welcome! And that's a beaut

Incredible
Welcome friend!!

So, to give you some ideas for the Fractal. I just created a patch that I think sounds fantastic (I am a Marshall fan and aim for Syn's Marshall tones) However, the chain runs as
Amp : (Brit Pre) Bass/Middle/Treble at 6. Presence at 8.5...Gain at 4 w/ tube screamer, or gain at 8.. Master Vol 4. Level (adjust loudness off this)
Cab : 4x12 TV MIX C1 (ML) ..it's Legacy #58... I also have a direct Tonematch from Syn Fractal Demo that i'm not using, but it's in my channel as a sprinkle when I want it.
Some basic Reverb.
Adjust the Noise Gate in the Input block to your preference. Mine is at -67db.ish

The guitar matters as well... my Gibson Les Paul Classic with Classic 57's has a lot more clarity over my Schecter C-1 FR with Invaders. The invaders sounds fizzy on this channel and the Gibson is just beautiful on it.

The most important part however is... practice Syn's technique and solos about 2-4x as much as you are right now. 90% of the sound is the techniques with the bends, the picking style (economy picking).. all the little nuances. Of course, it will sound different because it's getting filtered through your mind and hands, but that's the beauty of art.

This is incredible! I can only imagine how difficult it has been but this is something you should definitely be proud of! I have faith that things will get better moving forward!

I own both Synyster guitars, also a C-1 Hellraiser Hybrid FR in ultra Violet. They are both an absolutely joy to play and it’s a very hard choice lol

I really love the Custom-S guitar. I love the sound and feel I can get from that guitar. But I have no opinion on the Hellraiser.
If you don't own a Syn guitar, I would go for it. otherwise, the Hellraiser probably

a bit late, but happy birthday brother !

welcome! such a nice piece of art

I really love all Syns cabs. I use them in almost every preset I make in my axe fx.
Some for A7X sound but they are also perfect for my general tones. They are made really well

That is so incredible to hear Iris So incredibly proud of you!

Nice to be aboard! Happy 4th all!

I'd say it comes down to the fretboard. I want to say they're different. I play Schecter C-1 FR's and remember having one of the original Syn Customs, i felt the Syn Custom had a longer fretboard.

Nice!

Thanks everyone. It means a lot.

Welcome Aaron!!

Welcome to Synner, Aaron! That guitar is beautiful, congrats! Love that lil message from Syn on there too, that's brilliant!

That's so great to hear, congratulations on this milestone in recovery! Absolutely proud of you!!

The cab pack is just his cabinets, but they're done incredibly well. I've tried a lot of add-on packs from a lot of different vendors and all of them had some artifacting or something else that made me not like them. Syn's cab pack is the only one I truly love.

That said, I was never going for "sound like Syn." I have my own tone and know what I like, which certainly has a lot of similarities to what Syn likes, but I've always just preferred to find my OWN happy place, tone-wise. For me, it was worth it, and I haven't found anyone who's bought them that didn't like and use them.

That's amazing, Iris. I'm proud of you too.
