Expressive Synth Sounds, No Programming Needed
Packed full of the kind of tech originally developed for the SY-300, the BOSS SY-1 can transform your guitar or bass into a versatile Synth with ease.
Each of the synth voices in this pedal are polyphonic, and analog-style, allowing you free reign to play either single notes or full chords.
What's more, in true BOSS Compact Pedal style, the SY-1 occuppies the minimal amount of space on your pedalboard.
Plug-and-Play and Latency-Free
Featuring a custom DSP and the latest BOSS innovations, the SY-1 allows you to simply plug your guitar or bass into the Input socket and enjoy a latency-free performance every time.
Enhance Performances with Real-Time Control
A fun and effective new feature on the SY-1 is the ability to sustain the last-played synth sound, whilst you jam with your regular guitar sound over the top. Simply press and hold the pedal switch as you play the "drone" note, and then play regularly over the top of it.
In addition to this you also have the option of connecting an external footswitch, for tap-tempo and octave-shift effects, or even an expression pedal for continuous Tone/Rate control.
A Universe of Synth Sounds Inside
Like the SYB-5 before it, the BOSS SY-1 features a whole host of voices for you to fine tune. With 11 different categories, and 121 total sounds to choose from, this pedal puts an enormous array of synth options at your fingertips.
These voices are as follows:
- LEAD 1/2: A wide range of sounds suitable for single-note soloing
- PAD: Full tones that work great with chords, from layered pads to synth brass and more
- BASS: Fat synth bass sounds, including filtered and sub-octave tones
- STR: Classic analog-style strings, including layered voices and sweeping textures
- ORGAN: A large selection of organ sounds, including many with rotary-style modulation
- BELL: Percussive synth sounds with metallic resonance.
- SFX 1/2: A variety of synth sound effects, including explosive one-shot sounds, animated pitch/filter voices, and more
- SEQ 1/2: Pulsating sounds with rhythmic pitch or filter changes
Each of these voices can be adjusted on the fly via the Tone/Rate and Depth knobs, letting you fine tune your sound to taste, or even change the pitch on some sounds.
