When he played piano on it, I was sold.
That sound achieved just through synthesis is incredible
Same bro !
Don't get too carried away with this demo. Believe me, it doesn't play like this fresh out of the box. Be prepared for some deep diving into the menus if you want to get the tracking this good without a lot of hanging ghost notes.
Pete: tries as hard as possible to show off the strengths of this unit.
Also Pete: inadvertently underlines all the weaknesses of this unit.
Ha ha…. Noticed that 😂 …. The technology keeps getting updated and today this is the best one but tomorrow there will be a better one…. Ooops…..Pete struggling to back pedal when he realises… so funny
These units are very clever but you need someone like Alex with eleven tonnes of experience to make it sound good. Buy one :) but don't underestimate the time you will need to play it well ...
@@ianbrown1474 I had a Roland VG8 back in the 1990s and I’m always amazed that the fundamental problems with Guitar-to-Synth have not changed in 25 years.
Also Pete: 🌼🌺🍑🍆🌼🌸
@@spivvo No different than other guitar pedals. KLON! They don't make it and it's expensive, so here's a clone! No, here's a better clone! No, here's a clone of the one this guy had!
The part at 15:05 is just gorgeous work. Alex is a great player and the emotion that flows through him is something to behold. Easily my favorite part of this video.
Alex is just one of the best modern musicians: not shying off on new tech BUT getting into it and just roam and explore ... and coming up with really musical performances in the end. This guy just knows ... ... love it!
That indeed is the challenge of musical technology. Some simply have an innate ability to channel it, while others - like me, for example - struggle to draw out the capabilities.
I recently bought Empress Zoia. The problem is that you can make almost every sound on Earth. But to replicate it you need to program it. It's not hard but time consuming. with this Boss synth you plug and play. That's awesome
That outro jam blew me away. Wow! Amazing talent with the looper and synth pedal! We need a full version! Sounded like old school Sonic the Hedgehog video game music!
Using a loop station with that unit makes the possibilities almost endless as far as creativity goes.
If you practice enough the possibilities are endless with just an acoustic guitar.
@@Joe-mz6dc Maybe, but this video wasn't about acoustic guitars.
@@Joe-mz6dc nah, you cant blow youngsters minds like that on an acoustic
i dont like effects so much too, but they cant enjoy music without heavy effects, cause they grew up listening to overproduced stuff
Love it when Pete is genuinely excited and speechless at a new pedal/product..
If you give Alex a broken cowbell and a flute it's probably going to sound as cool as this. Mortal souls have to buy the boss stuff though 😊
I thought the sounds were coming from the coffee table.
Alex is just brilliant. That guy can play anything.
I'm still rocking the GR-55 guitar synthesizer😊
This is the kind of product that makes me excited about playing guitar. Wonderful creative possibilities. Thanks
Alex is a genius, been following him for years.
Some absolutely sublime playing here. Wow.
its a wonderful piece of kit, as is all Boss 's gear. I have the GR 55, which is awesome. The one thing to pay attention to, is the pickup you need to fit. (stating to the obvious here). The height
(pick up to strings) is critical to how the Boss tracks each string. Alex's set up is spot on.
Alex 😍 I could listen to his playing for years. Brilliant.
The musicality out the jams is insane!
Would love to sit in a park on a sunny day and listen to a chill-out jam with this set up 💥🌱
I have the original gk-2a pickup from 1994 on a Parker Nite Fly, with the Roland GR-5 (haha). Been out of the guitar synth game for over 25yrs. Glad to see you guys showing off some good stuff out there. It's understandable that these units have some limitations, however, Roland and Boss have a come a long way and have made remarkable advances in this technology; enough to really do some quality work for guitar players. Thank you for the post!
I really like it! Synth tech has finally caught up with guitars!
An incredible pedal to say the least! I'm not technically blessed to be able to use it, but the sounds on it are totally mind-blowing! Kudos to you, Alex, or shall I just say "Master Guitarist"!
That's probably the most impressive effects pedal I've seen in a very long time. 😮
I take that back. It IS the most impressive pedal I've ever seen!!!
@8kisok703 Congrats!!! If I had the extra funds right now I would too. 👍
its technology like this that makes me wonder the possibilities of the guitar heroes of our past if they got this. imagine hendrix coming up with insane sounds with that thing mixed with the usual fuzz and wah. things like this just blow me away
Pain in the but to mix/blend this unit with the guitar output. Boss (Roland) left this function out.
Holdsworth didn’t do to shabby
Having owned a GR33 for a good number of years I'm pretty impressed with the new offering. Love the TRS connectivity going away from the 13 pin cable AND the breakout box so my current Strat controller I built a decade + ago would still be viable. Boss may well have pushed me into upgrading my old GR33.
"the TRS connectivity going away from the 13 pin cable" means no one cable connectivity or the ability to layer/blend the two sounds. A step backwards to me!
Is gm800 upgrade to sy300? Or is it upgrade to gr55? Can it play midi of other instruments like gr55 do?
I used a GR-55 in a function band for years, I was never a fan of the sounds in isolation but in a full band mix it did the job. Having now got into synths in a big way, I have no need or desire for this but it's clear that the technology is evolving all the time.
Seriously LOVED this video. Funny, informative and inspiring ! Well done guys. Pete's enthusiasm is hilarious and infectious all in one.
Thank you. I’m just happy to be there 😅
Never thought I'd want a synth
Same. Totally inspired to get one.
Beautiful intro. Thank you both. ART!
i like how Alex is so eager to play more and has to hold back so its a usual selling video and not a guy blowing everyones mind!)))
this is so inspiring im screaming like a little girl, 100% buying this comboed with a looper to go completely nuts
unbelievably gorgeous sounds
It does sound incredible. That Rhodes Piano was killer.
amen, no more stalking for a cheap rhodes to buy
Another great showcase by Pete and Alex. This thing is brilliant. Welcome to all the Mr. Negativity's and those who chose to not watch the video, but ask questions that are answered in the video. Well done you.
You can make so much music with this! Add spice to any genre
You can make as much music without it 😂 but it can add spice to any genre - that’s true
Pete is asking all the right questions! 🙏🤘
Jaw dropping right from the start ...
Mr. Looper meets Mr. BOSS ... so Andertons called in the right guys to demo this special piece of gear ... 5 out of 5
I have to admit: BOSS is on fire ... they are putting out so much great stuff recently ... well done!
Great demo ... thank you so much for sharing this
I wholeheartedly agree with the demo being jaw dropping from the start! The GM-800 has me seriously questioning my motivations into getting into hardware synths in the last couple of years... Each of the patches sound STELLAR! And for the total price of roughly a mid-level synthesizer, I think this could be very well worth the price!
@@bassnsax
BOSS seems to be price worthy all the time imho. I took a "low price" jump into this new line of axe synths and got me a SY-1 which turned out to be a great starting point into the hardware synth world. i tried a PC software guitar->MIDI solution too which got me playing me virtual MOOG instantly ... great low cost solution for home recorders ...
This was so much fun to watch!
That’s just nuts. I just dusted off my GR 55, and enjoying getting back into that, but this kit is extraterrestrial 👽
707
Sounds fantastic!
Great demo, great playing!
Dude KILLED IT at 15:00 im blown away by this! i absolutely need one now!
sounds crazy good. i actually think it sounds better than many keyboards because it's more expressive
Well, they are called Boss for a reason - just mind blowing!
Well that was a pretty awesome noise. Love it.
I love this... I used to have one of those black wedge-shaped Roland's
Peter’s guitar tone at the begging is incredible!
So many possibilities with this synth pedal!
Stopped at 12 minutes in to pre-order this, plus the pickup and cable. Wow!
More vids like this and I'm sure you'll hit 1 million subs in no time 👍🏼👏🏼
Nice review/demo. Thanks
I remember many years ago being amazed at hearing a guitar called a ‘Synthaxe’ that seemed to do some of this stuff. I’ve got to start saving to get one of these!.
Alan Holdsworth! I believe he finally sold it to buy a house!
Man I need one of these, I love my SY 200 and 300 but this is just such a huge jump beyond those!
Yeah this shit seems like it’s gonna blow those out of the water.
dunno what it is about this video but those synth captured directly sound phenomenal through a pair of headphones. it almost doesn't look like it's coming from the guitar
Great to see there is also a bass version. Can we get a video of Lee/Cici giving it a workout?
The synth around 16:55 reminds me of Metheny’s “Last Train Home” 👌
Damn that is so mega cool!! Wishlist material!! 🤩🙌✨🎸
That Toccata and Fugue was pretty sweet
When Alex plays, you listen, love that guy.
I don't think there's anyone better.
that sounds surprisingly good
I’ve been Looking at getting a synth for months now but I’ve only ever been good at playing guitar. This solves all my problems.
Everyone loved the outro - but my god those flutes at 10.20 - but my god those strings at 15:08 blew me away - they sound so beautiful!
Saw Alex with Steven Wilson a few times, top-notch player! Synth module sounds great too, lots of possiblitlies. I wonder how it tracks on a bass.
What an awesome unit, very fun.
normally i hate synths but i think i could lose a few hours with this but I think it should have the pick up included for the price
Probably won't get another guitar synth unit since I still have the VG-88 v2 and the GR-33 using my Godin nylon and a classic OLP electric guitar. Of all the sounds there are, I only use a handful and don't see the need for more. But for those who are new to this device and the unlimited possibilities, it's worth it!
Special cable lol. I used a planet waves TRS cable because my gm 800 supplier did not have stock and it worked with no issues cheers for the video
Fantastic sound.
Still trying to get my head round a GR33.
Finally! Look forward to an upgrade from my GR55
I wish there was something similar for nylon strings guitar! I guess the Boss SY-200 is the right one for nylon guitars, but this is so in-depth and its synth engine is crazy!! :O
Absolutely freaken amaze !
This is impressive. Boss nailed it
Truly a legend. Alex
This is Andertons best sounding video! Cheers, guys! 🍻
I’ve always been of the mind that I’d you want to play guitar, but a guitar, and if you want to play synth, buy a synth.
But this one has me changing my mind. It sounds amazing.
Yeah except you may not know how to play the keys, or a flute, or sax, violin etc. That’s the brilliance of this, you leverage your ability on guitar to other instruments.
I’m excited for this but it doesn’t come close to all the shit an actual synth can do.
@@ramon2008 This isn’t aimed at people that WANT to play keys.
@@Whizzinby777 I gotta say I just saw that you can use it with zenology. I gotta say i changed my mind, it’s getting pretty damn close to being able to do what any synth can do.
Keen to watch this one as I was a GR user for many years from the GR-20/GR33 through to GR-55 as soon as it came out. The GR-55 was pretty awesome (both the COSM and Synth sounds) and I miss it dearly having sold it as I stopped gigging. Always the biggest problem with these synths has been Roland/Boss's feble attempts at supporting software and the pretty useless pre-set patches. The GR-55 was loaded with around 300 IIRC and I didn't use a single one. The GR-55 was only usable thanks to 3rd party software that massively put Roland to shame (not that they ever did anything about it) and meant you could easily produce your own patches with specific switching. It was easier just to start from scratch. That and Roland generally put the gear out and then despite the users providing feedback on improvements, just never respond. This really does piss users off! Be interesting to see if they do the same, as 10 years later they just won't get away with it.
They removed one of the best features of the older units, the ability to blend/layer these sounds with the guitar (or bass) output. Without this feature to me thsi unit is useless!
waaahhh my idol.. alex hutching... very expect every multi effect pedal.. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
All the possibilities of a synth, and they open with... blues. How imaginative.
Mind blown , feel like there was alot more of the jams not shown 😁 would love to see a full edit of them ❤❤
Outstanding!
This is awesome!
I've had the roland gr20 and pickup for years and it has never worked to a point where I could gig with it confidently, it would drop strings, trigger sounds wrongly and was tbh a bit of a nightmare to use. I just use the controller pedal now with a u rock guitar for recording. I'd love to buy a more updated one like this but i'll wait until I hear enough reviews to convince me they have dealt with all the issues associated with midi guitar playing.
Same with using synth modeling in my pod go. Even playing slow and simple one string riffs, it messes up. But this demo looks pretty convincing.
Frigging amazing!
Great video! Can the signal be sent over a normal wireless guitar unit?
Mind blowing! 😊
12:43 well done lads 😂
this sounds so good as well
This is great, though after all these years still requires to have that added pick up modification to a guitar. I wish they could come up with a solution that combines synth and regular guitar effects into one pedal. It is cool sounding.
How does it track vocals? It would be amazing to play guitar and simultaneous play this with your voice.
thank you for such inspiring and innovative products - you are first to demo!
may i request a separate video the connection part - from guitar to a junction box? etc. that will be helpful and do we need to purchase those items (of course!) cheers!
oh okay its there ....23:38 - thank you
As someone who owns gk gear i can safely say this sounds great, and it looks as though it tracks better than ever before.
And another step closer to where I think they really want to get to, which is not needing the GK at all. The SY stuff is OK, but has a limited range of sounds.
@@Scott__C gk is not needed for years.I use my guitar as synth for years with jam origin midi guitar 2 and it is great
@@Danko76 I haven't seen that, is that a guitar with a MIDI output?
@@Scott__C google it,you only need regular pickups and it works great
I love my Boss SY1000 abnd have two guitars with the built in GK PU. Happy to see Boss included converters. This unit sounds amazing, and Alex is such a talented guy ( as is Pete ofcourse). He is THE reason for me to buy the SY1000 and most likely I'll get the new one as well. Thanks for a great demo!!
To Andertons: For us who have 13 pin synth guitars already (I have 3), how about a demo of the Boss GKC-AD, the 13 pin to serial converter. We would be more interested in the GM-800 if we 13 pin owners knew these converters work well. Please? Thank you.
I second your request. I have two guitars (Godin XTSA and Fender GC1) and a seperate GK3, which came with a GP10 and remains unused.
I just got the GM800 and the GKC-AD. The converter works as advertised.
Thanks for info. Now we just need someone to do a demo.
Fantastic!
Great video, Thanks. Can the GK5 be installed inside of a guitar?
Alex + Andertons = AWESOME!
This is great for the creative songwriters. You can write whole film scores on this !
Does it do drums by chance? Maybe each drum assigned to a different note?
Alex could demo a baked potato and I'd still wanna buy it immediately. Such a fantastic player!
Hello Nice vidéo and gear :) question : do you think it can easily go through analogue guitar pedals ? Thank you
Ooh... so nice Pete was doing this one. Made it so much fun to watch! No offence Captain, but at times you're just trying too hard to sell things rather than just have fun with it.
My box tonelab (2004) had midi out . And it can be set up to play a synth .
Perhaps this is more accurate though with the specialized pickup.
I love how Pete throws his little jokes in there and then looks at the camera. It reminds me of Benny Hill, because he used to do the same thing lol. 😂😂
