Description

BOSS SY-1 - Guitar Synthesizer Pedal

The BOSS SY-1 is a powerful and expressive synthesizer pedal that allows you to easily transform your guitar or bass sound into a wide range of analog-style synth voices. This compact pedal is equipped with 121 responsive sounds and a plug-and-play design, meaning no special pickup is required.

It delivers latency-free performance, allowing you to play freely and organically without altering your normal technique. The pedal's parallel send/return loop allows for flexible integration with other pedals on your board, enabling you to blend the synth and your dry guitar sound or route them to separate destinations.

  • Polyphonic: Can track and play both single notes and chords.
  • Latency-Free Performance: Advanced DSP technology provides responsive, natural tracking.
  • Intuitive Controls: Quickly adjust sounds with dedicated Tone/Rate and Depth controls.
  • Hold Function: Sustain the last-played synth sound while playing over the top with your normal guitar signal.
  • Parallel Send/Return Loop: Blend other effects in parallel with the synth voices or route them to separate destinations.
