  • Boss are a mainstay in the effects pedal world and for good reason! New for 2019 is the Boss SY-1. Continuing the legacy of the SY-300 and SYB-5, Boss is opening the door to a wide variety of synth sounds. With 121 different modes, impeccable tracking, (meaning no more proprietary pickup!) it has never been easier to get into the unique, weird, and totally out there sounds that we love here at Pedals and Effects.

    Thank you Juan and Nick for showing us pedals the way we might actually want to use them

    I remember being in middle school in like 84, and going over to this kid's house who played guitar. He was that kid who was the first legitimately good guitar player you ever met. I was blown away by his playing, BUT... he had these two metal boxes between his guitar and amp: a DM-2 and a CE-3. Thone things were like fucking MAGICAL to me. I can't tell you how much what those things could do reassembled my 13 year old brain. Anyway, 35 years later he still has those, and they're still in great condition.

      @jsogman 5 лет назад +5

      Enzo is brilliant but I sold mine bc I found the tracking, while good, to still be not to my liking, I feel like the technology for that kind of polyphonic tracking is very close but just not quite there yet to imo... not sure if its FFT transform tech or what, I just feel like if there's an Enzo 2 it's going to be my shit by miles ...this one also looks fantastic though

    The possibilities of this pedal seems endless , with a bass is even more inpressive than with a guitar.

    @GetawaysandGuitars 5 лет назад +1

    I've messed around with guitar synths for years. I tried the Roland 707
    just after it came out, buying the GR-20, eventually the GR-55. All
    suffered from poor tracking to some degree but the major problem for me
    is the strange whistles and monkey noises it puts out if you miss hit a
    note or it doesn't recognize it. Pity, I really wanted to love them.
    This looks like its solved their faults pretty well. maybe it'll signal
    the start of the guitar synth age!

    @DanReppert 5 лет назад +2

    It was crazy fun to try linking two together. But who would buy two? For that money you are well on the way to getting a much more powerful processor, like an SY-300., which, by the way takes a standard 1/4 " pickup. And it is stereo, unlike the SY-1.
    I can understand your preference for simple pedals, but please don't spread the misconception that hex pickups are "MIDI" gear. 13 pin gear is not accurately described as a "MIDI Pickup." The hex pickup is quite literally 6 magnetic micro-humbuckers.
    The only features the SY-1 has over GR-55 synth: the arpeggiators and the side loop, both overlooked in GR-55.
