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

Very good, with a few issues
Anonymous 12.01.2023
Pros:
If careful, with ambient pedals, can produce heavenly sounds. I produced some unrepeatable demos and tracks with it. It sounds like more than an instrument, a keyboard or synth, because of the integration with the guitar.
Can blend the guitar and synth sound.
Has two outs

Cons:
Often the upper mids, high notes on the guitar are not registered well by the pedal, as if you turned down the volume almost all the way
The sounds are often overpronounced and toyish, the pedal is very, very sensitive

Great way to access synth sounds with guitar
JohnHark 20.02.2023
As always boss delivers. It's really great and easy. Sounds can be a little harsh, (a lot of treble to my ear) but with proper eq and reverb its very convincing. Wet output for bi amping is a must. Tracking is great. All I need now is the sy200 with tone control and easier way to switch from one sound to another.
