I'm getting one of these expensive warehouses so I can be in middle and look cool while I play.
I think a super clean mirror room might also look pretty cool
Imagine if that was what the video was about. Getting your own acoustic warehouse and how economical it has become 😂
Thanks Slash.
thining of 2 of them just incase one decides to break lol
You could easily justify the cost because of the money you'd save not having to buy a reverb (and possibly delay) pedal.
Alex always doin'g a great job on boss demos!
Looper King!
Nice playing from Alex! Awesome guitar!
Man is a GOD!
Get that Captain Meets on. Alex is an absolute beast.
What an amazing piece of technology, great video. Alex and the Captain together at last, incredible !!
Some absolutely great melodic note choices and phrasing over the chord changes! Alex rocks!
Great video. Love the little shred test at around 18:00 to showcase the realtime response of the synthesis. It's obvious this is *now* what guitar players were always waiting for, realtime responsiveness of a synth sound to the guitar string's every nuance. I can't wait to try this out myself!
God I love your playing. The feel, the phrasing, the sounds and the technique.
My entire show is GT1 lately. It's taught me so much about tones and effects. For a beginner really like me it's insane the value of Boss. Multis. I hope to one day try this. Amazing work Alex ...
I’ve been following Alex since the beginning of lockdown. I knew he was a great player but never knew anything about his career. On Thursday I was watchign Guthrie Govan’s solo on Steven Wilson’s Drive Home for the hundredth time and noticed a familiar face on the thumbnails for the Albert Hall shows… Alex Hutchings! I had no idea he was the lead guitar on that tour, but man his playing there is equal to Guthrie’s. We’ve got to have a Captain meets on this guy, he is one of those ridiculously good players that slipped under the radar for many of us…
You really should check out his JTC stuff. Alex is amazing.
Alex is a legend! Lots of love for him
Love it when Alex comes on.... spectacular playing
That is some great playing the tapping was on point
Amazing playing Alex!
Hey Lee, you should definitely invite this fantastic musician to Andertons!
Great review and that guy could articulate the product in a very good way, great insights.
Randomly came across this guy on UA-cam a month or two ago. Absolutely nuts player
wow what an array of sounds- I love this :)
Alex's playing is one step beyond most other guitar players. The Captain meets Alex - asap!
You have to have him back for a capt meets ! I have the boss sy-1 and my only complaint is the lack of control while I play. This might just be the answer to my problem.
So the Capitan has hired/ordered the perfect match to demo this NEXT-Level-AXE .... great demo!
Thanks a lot for sharing this youtube gem!
Wicked! Love the SY series, this is Next Level!!!
I first heard the Roland Guitar synth in the mid 80’s I guess, and was crazily blown away. And something tells me this is light years better.
synth guitars always sounded good, getting it to FEEL good is the hard part
Woah, didn't expect Alex to be on here
Fabulous, thank you.
I’ve met him he’s a fabulous musician and person !! My favourite was the pad/hold .. can’t wait to try one 🤘
Seeing even the Captain have fun with his stodgy old blues licks on this thing was a great advertisement! I would love to try one of these.
Well demo'd ALEX!! Guitar Sounds Great! Always love seeing Lee try "new" things. The previous devices used GKCable (13pin) and some synth pedals didn't use that tech. But obviously that would take away from the purpose of this VIDEO. If you like these sounds... SY-1000, SY-200, SY-1 gets you pretty much in the ball park, 1000 needs a GK-3 Pickup :) Cheers dudes
This guitar, with the main out running into a zoia, and the synth out running to a microcosm, would be such a cool setup.
Alex is amazing as always!
Ya boy is so on brand he's even rocking boss shoes.
So. Many. Cables.
boss doesn't make shoes
@@davidyoung8875 Yes they do, they even did suits for Hitler! Hugo Boss that is!
Boss just killing it for guitarists. I want one, but I kinda wish I hadn't seen this!
Wut? 🤯 beautiful sound in that opening!
They used this guitar to record the sound track for the movie “The Warriors”! It’s from the future past. Not for me, but it looks and sounds cool!
Neato! Do you have a link about this?
wow that passage between 1:22-1:32 is so cool
Hearing about Boss making a fully synth integrated guitar I was almost expecting at least five output jacks but surprisingly it's just two!
I like the sounds, and Alex - it was his demos with you guys that got me to buy a GP-10 - but at that price, only working with one guitar and seemingly less versatile than the floor based options seems like a step in the wrong direction. I hope it's successful anyway because if Boss keep doing guitar synthy stuff (despite it being a bit of a niche area and hence a small market) it can only keep getting more impressive, but I really just want to see a better version of the GK3 that I can plug into pretty much anything.
i agree with everything you said martin. then add the fact that you spend 2 grand on a guitar with an unfinished 90s style headstock, with boss written on it in a font reminisscent of the teenage mutant ninja turtles slogan and im lost!
You pretty much nailed it. I think that the players who are interested in synth sounds probably want to control them through external boxes and applications. But well-heeled guitarists who are more into having "special effects" close at hand than dedicated sound sculpting will probably really like this; Boss are very clever when it comes to knowing the marketplace.
I see Alex Hutchings play, i like. It‘s simple.
Captain Meets Alex would be awesome. Love this guy!
Roland’s been going the direct processing route since they started e.g. the GR-300 (as used by Pat Metheney, Robert Fripp, Nik Kershaw etc.) didn’t work by trying to track the notes either. Then they started doing pitch-MIDI, with the issues described, and this is a return to their origins in one sense.
For that money a matching headstock seems a reasonable ask. But good on Boss for doing something interesting overall though.
When I play solos I channel Alex Hutchings. The man KNOWS how to strike them feels!
Alex did a great job here- yes, get him back for a Captain meets. Looks like an awesome piece of gear. I'm interested to know how 'updatable' it is and also how deep the synthesis programming can go. I play synths, so hopefully they've harnessed some of that Roland tech and put some highly editable or even basic synth attributes in here.. eg: ADSRs, LFOs, possibly even some wave-shaping etc. Also, any chance it can come in white?
Very 'Luke' style looking guitar! This is awesome 👍🏼
Captain meets Alex is A MUST! 💪🏻💪🏻
I recall attending a Roland guitar synth workshop with Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter and a Japanese dude in the 1980's , that was impressive, this looks miles ahead
Acoustic, Acoustic electric, electric and now electronic. Great evolution and this guitar is on my list.
The guys immense, captain meets for sure
Goes onto website immediately
You should definitely do a captain meets with Alex, would be great!
Awesome. Now I can ditch my sy1 pedal, which I totally love, but bending over in the dark to change patches when I'm 3-sheets to the wind gets dicey. lol
I'm subscribed on both Alex's and Andertons's channels, and when Alex's picture came up on an Andertons notification it kinda confused me for a sec🤣
It's a far cry from my old GK1 pickup, GM70 processor and various synth modules I had connected. It got all the sounds and actually worked quite well but this new technology is pretty cool, much simpler ... and is how it should be done.
Definitely a Captain Meets Alex Hutchings. Also, get Boss to send one to Rabea ASAP.
Bloody Great Guitar Playing….
As cool as this is, I have to say since it seems to be easier to play with pedals anyway, maybe a synth pedal is a better option after all. Plus you get wider options for both guitar and synth sounds. It will also work after the phone app no longer works on the version of Android/iOS you'll be using 15 years from now.
Agreed. + it looks like a cheap Yamaha Pacifica or something
@@jorisev It looks like a Cort.
@@jorisev Nope not at all. This guitar feels fantastic in the hands. I played one in the main Roland outlet in Tin Pan Alley London. Guitar feels like its already played in. Feels amazing and should not be compared with any Pacifica.
What Roland SHOULD consider doing is find a way to design guitar synth system that caters up to 8-string players and can do so wirelessly like the fishman triple play. Yeah, Roland released the gk-5 at the time of this comment, but they can do a solid for the extended range players. I also say 8 strings even though I exclusively play 7s, just in the interest of fairness.
I remember a few years ago I was at a guitar show, at the BOSS stand the guy persuaded me to have a go on their latest synth pedal. I proceed to aimlessly scroll through patches making an absolute racket, after 5 mins the guy taps me on the shoulder and asks me to plug in the headphones because 5 meters behind me Alex Hutchins is doing his presentation, and I’m ruining the audiences experience 😂
What is the setup (wiring) you have here?
Yes Alex on andertons!? What a legend
Somebody get this guitar to Tom Morello and Matt Bellamy immediately!
*That is just perfect for my Carvin DC800.*
Does it have a bunch of presets that will give a player an idea where they might want to go.
Finally, a real Guin-thasizer! which is the next logical step up from the Key-Tar
nice guitar....how much for that huge print on the background?
I just ordered this guitar two days ago after watching countless videos but already starting to have buyers remorse. I already won a SY-300 so now I am trying to understand what new sounds I am getting. Seems like BOSS added the electronics a SY-200 inside a guitar. Or am I missing something and does this guitar actually offer unique possibilities that I would not get from using the SY-300?
Crazy that intro solo gave me heavy Richie Kotzen vibes, then about 2 mins later I got TOOL vibes (Fear Inoculum). So I'm sold
Do both outputs use a standard guitar cable?
Captain meets Alex Hutchings...yes, please!
A very interesting guitar that in the right hands as proved by Alex can make
music in a way that no other guitar can.
Will other brands introduce similar models? i hope so.
As good as this one is, it is not an affordable option for me or a lot of players.
Please have Alex back for sure.
Not sure if you said if the guitar is blue tooth? Or the pedal it connects with. Do you need the pedal. Will the pedal work on other digital inputs? No midi
Alex could play a 1 string shovel guitar and make it sound amazing.
It’s the headstock. It makes it look so cheap. Also, I don’t think the type of players who would love this thing want such a classic looking body in a simple black. Idk. But besides that it seems pretty awesome.
I thought the same. It looks like my first ever piece of shit Encore electric guitar that cost 150 quid. They could have spent some money making the guitar look a bit premium !
Amazing player🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Hold up, if it's just normal pickups, why not sell the box that's in the guitar as a stand alone so we we can explore that with the guitars we want to play?
Alex's playing is noooice
Oh yeah that sound reminds me of a cello
is there no midi out ? or usb out?
Damn I wish we had this tech back when Pink Floyd were around! Imagine the sounds they couldn’t made with this sort of kit
Now you can get the Boss guitar synth sounds on any guitar for way less than the $2400 Eurus GS-1. The SY-200 pedal is $278.
integrating everything makes for a clean setup but I'm wary of having too much on-board electronics in.a guitar.
I've got am Ibanez RGKP6 downstairs that I bought for my nephew to play. That's the model with the onboard headphone amp (with distortion) and the integrated Korg Kaoss Pad.
I had to take it back because the on-board electronics flaked out. With no obvious issues (like bulging Caps), I'm going to have to pull the internal board out to properly inspect it.
Until I hopefully figure out what's failed, it's a non-electric electric guitar.
I bet they won't have those problems in this made in Japan guitar! Much better quality.
Oh boy... Could that headstock look any more cheaper/starting kit-ish??
Dude...I want it, but could never afford it 😔
Ahh Alex, the pride of Bristol.
Pete playing Van Halen Jump inspired tune would be fun
Boss CEO: hey we're making an incredibly futuristic guitar, what shall we make this futuristic guitar look like?
Boss designers: Let's copy a nearly 70 year old design exactly.
Boss CEO: Seems a bit boring.
Boss designers: Yeah but here's the kicker, we'll copy the headstock from a 90's Peavey.
Boss CEO: Holy shit it's radical!
Lets design our hot new synth guitar, and make it for right handers only - but here's our marketing "twist" - we'll market it exactly like guitar shops already sell left handed guitars. Let them stock one bland strat copy - in black. If they can put it in the corner where no one can find it, double bonus. Then it'll never sell, and we'll be proved right that theres no market for synth guitars OR left handed ones.
I get what you’re saying, but guitar players as a group hate anything that doesn’t look exactly like a strat or an LP, so they’re a bit stuck…
the sound you got in the intro is the closest ive heard to the roland gr 300 from the 80s
I like the gr55 better....just the zero latency models of strats. , teles acoustics and 12 strings make it worth owning but with a little practice and tweaking to match your playing style the organs ,synth pads and many others sounds can really open up endless sonic possibilities.....this new synth just makes synth sounds . Latency is def an issue with certain patches as well as misfires esp with piano but tons of other patches are perfect like string pads and and whirli style organ sounds.....i wish roland would've made a more intuitive model with less features but they've abandoned the 13 pin technology i think 🤔
Are those drums a guitar too?
It doesn't look like a space ship, no digital display, regular switches and knobs, analog option playing.
Someone in the digital market understands guitar players and its no surprise it is Boss.
Couldn't help thinking Allan Holdsworth would have loved this.
The Captain meets Mr.H will be epic...
Boss are soon releasing an updated version named the EURANUS.
BOSS, make a bass and I'm there.
Great to see Boss/Roland still trying to push guitar synths, I think they are the only company doing it now. Although I can see the improvements in tracking using the filtering tricks the newer, guitar pickup based systems use, the sounds are much more limited to what you can get with a GR55 or even the GR20! Add the fact you can only store 6 presets on the guitar make it an expensive way to expand your sonic landscape.
The guitar itself looks pretty cheaply made, The paintwork is very thin showing the wood lines through it! I'd say on par with a £200 guitar.They should have kept in partnership with Fender in my opinion. I'm not just trolling, I have a GR55, the GR20 and two GK3 pickups on a couple of my guitars. Like Lee I'm waiting for the first real guitar synth hero, not just someone using it for one or two synthy brass sounds or string pads ;0)
The guitar is cheap because... It has thin finish and you can see the wood lines? You learn something every day...
As my friends in Chi town would say, “that some bad stank”
How many years will the app be supported? As soon as the app is gone the guitar is just a normal guitar.
His playing reminds me of Steve Lukather. That’s high praise.
I feel like I must be losing my edge, I used to be super for all this synth guitar stuff when everyone hated it, but I just think this thing sounds unbelievably thin and tinny, idk maybe it’s just cause they only really showed like new wave pads and no classic sawtooth Juno sounding stuff
Green and pointy might be too far. That's a great way to describe it. Personally I love it!
As soon as I hear the words computer a and apps I mentally tune out.
Metallic purple when?
