    The Boss SY-1 Synthesizer offers 121 ways to have a ton of fun. You don't need a hex pickup or any other third party interface gear either. Just your favourite instrument (bass or guitar) that has some sort of pickup. Dial up one of the 11 synth types and one of their variations and you're away. There are subtle sounds and seriously unsubtle sounds. Musical? Yes. Fun? Double yes.

    Best review of this pedal ever and I've seen a lot of them. You get to the point right away and the best part is that you actually get great sounds out of it! Other people make this pedal sound horrible but you make it sound like a very useful effects pedal. Plus I like how you added some dirt to it too, sounded incredible! Keep up the great work cheers!

      If you want to mix your lead tone with the synth- put the distortion before the Synth. If you want to make the Synth distorted, put the distortion after the synth.

    • @LeviBulger
      @LeviBulger 3 роки тому

      I find that things that track usually sound and feel far better before dirt. The closer to the front of the chain, the better. Compression is probably the only thing I like before things like the SY1, Pog, Oc3, etc.
