Synth awesomeness

Fileandar 03.04.2022

Well built, as any other Boss' pedals. Some sounds are great, some are less great but hey, you've got 121 combinations to play with and you will definitely find at least 10 or 20 or more variations that will be great for you for recording or just having fun, and one or more combinations that you may use for playing live to spice your solos or chords. Works great with the single coils too.
Great pedal, would recommend.

Never easier to get synth tones on guitar

ThePilgrim 28.11.2022

Since i heard albums like, "somewhere in time", "seventh son of a seventh son" and "turbo", i was really fascinated by that synth driven futuristic sound. When i discovered that the artists have used guitar synths i tried to find one but they were really pricey. Well, not anymore!! Boss did it again and delivered a guitar synth in a stomp and the best part is that you don't need to have a midi pickup to use it!! It has a vast array of sounds, from leads and pads to bass and sequences!! Furthermore it has an fx loop that expands the sonic experimentation!! It tracks fast and the polyphony is great!! I'd prefer it to have some more options for sculpting the sounds and some presets but at that price and footprint we can't ask for more. Also an expression pedal unlocks even more it's potential. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes synths sounds, or who is after the classic tones from the albums i mentioned or to anyone who wants to experiment with sounds!!

Great fun- but lack of presets could be an issue.

drdolittle 13.05.2020

This is an absolute joy to play around with and definitely opens up new creative avenues!

Pros: Huge range of sounds and the sensitivity, responsiveness and lack of latency are amazing.

Cons: There are no presets and with internal and external dials for each control that adds to a lot of fiddling around.
Also YOU REALLY NEED AN EXPRESSION PEDAL to make the best use of the SY-1. (It works well with my moog pedal).

I briefly contemplated 3 stars for these last issues- but it would not have been a fair score as this unit really is incredible in how it can completely transform your sound in real time! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent pedal

EnuffZNuff 10.03.2020

Delivered quickly - great price. The pedal is excellent, I've a number of synth pedals - and this one really has some interesting sounds in it. It tracks really well, it doesn't appear to glitch at all. It always puts a smile on my face! I showed it to my nephew, and he was completely hooked! I didn't see him for the afternoon :-) Another excellent pedal from Boss, and an simple an easy purchase from Thomann
