@@bep86 I don't have limits to experiment in music and pedal chains, but a reverb into the sy1 sounds really bad to me. But man, everyone has his own taste. 😊
I have the SY-1 and a lot of the types/variations lack sustain on the wet signal so it benefits a lot from a big reverb or event a delay. I used a reverse delay with some organ/bell settings and it was a lot better than just sy-1 alone
No idea why so many guitarists strap on giant expensive pedals to their boards when BOSS can achieve the same sounds and more in a couple compact pedals.
Not really tho. If you own those pedals, you would not have made that comment. No boss pedal comes close to a big sky. Maybe they’re $300 big box Get somewhere in the ballpark Nothing Does what chase bliss mood does. Or a Thermae. I love boss pedals but they don’t do with so many others can do and that’s why we have these “big pedals”. .
My god THANK YOU! I have been looking for a video of someone using the SY-1 in this way but all of the videos I have seen have just been people cycling through he settings playing corny stuff. This is perfect.
This is great, I love videos that go back to pedals that have been around for a bit and showcasing awesome sounds rather than continuing to focus on the new stuff companies are obviously sending to people at the same time. Awesome work as always!
Very helpful demonstration - thanks! The RV-6 brings some amazing sounds out of the SY-1, which you very elegantly bring to light. I'm learning a lot from your videos..
I want to get the synthesizer to try with my Strymon Big Sky and Timeline. I bet I could come up with amazing sounds. Also, this demo was beautiful. Thank you.
Tangerine Dream/Pink Floyd/Jarre/Vangelis + Shoegaze/post-rock all in a box. You can have another instrument play some expressive leads while the guitarist chills and supplies the ambience without a laptop-backing track. Variety is the spice of life!
Heyyo Ambient Grandmaster : "Perry Frank" .. Great Demonstration Brother !! Nice Play !! "Boss RV-6" one of my Favorite Ambient Pedals ... Incredible Sounds in a small Pedal ... And : I like to try the "Boss Synthesizer SY- 1 ... very cool sounds !! Thanks for your Works !!1 Amazing !!
Perry! Thank you very much! You have a very informative channel. Especially when you need to understand the pedals! I have boss. But I haven't learned how to make sound so delicious yet. )) Please, keep doing this.
I am curious about playing technique versus the tech of the pedal. Most of the note changes sound like fade out- fade in the new note, like when you turn down guitar volume, pluck the string, then ramp up the volume. Am wondering what faster note playing sounds like. You got some great sounds from that little box.
I wanted to try some of these sounds out, but before I dialled to these settings the first sound I got out of the guitar was extraordinary. They're made for each other That said my SY1 tracking has a VERY heavy bias to the bass - often ignoring treble notes if they're played at the same time (in a chord). Is this the case for you too? Was a tiny bit disappointed
These two pedals work great together this is awesome thanks, I really appreciate this. These two pedals could very well be my next purchase music wise, I play guitar as well and I've een looking for away to expand the sound I create with the my instrument ❤
Whoa! 🤯 I saw a couple of new MacBook 💻 Pro’s in a Pawnshop Sealed & to get a better deal, I had to buy a few other things. This was sitting in a case next to PS Controllers, a mistake on their part & I got it for $90 just to resell along w/a JBL Series 3 Monitor Speaker that I got for $45 Brand New - I was curious was the pedal sounded like & I’m a massive Sigur Ros & Explosions In The Sky fan about to go record my Debut Album at ARC Studios. Needless to say, I am NOT putting it up for Sale on EBay & I was just about to, almost did last night w/o listening. 1 & 10 are my Faves so far. Can’t wait to play it with my DD-7 - Thanks for the video! I Subscribed & can’t wait to check out your other videos. God Bless + Godspeed
Superb sounds, you did a great job, Frank, thank you. Maybe I ask too much but is it possible to get the settings for Rate and Depth you did on each sound ? Thank you again. From France. :)
Thank you very much 🙏 the settings are what you see. Boss pedals have no hidden features. You just have to watch the video and copy the settings of the knobs
@@francismcfadden3305 I bought the SY-1 literally days before the SY-200 was announced. I loved the sound but hated the lack of presets and tap tempo...so I returned it and preordered the SY-200. I've been jonesing for my guitar synth fix ever since. Still another 2-ish months to go before the SY-200 hits stores here in the U.S. according to the Boss website.
Thanks for this. I own this pedal and I find the high-E string does not track well. Also, not very many useful sounds, despite all the variations. The Synth9 pedal is better IMO.

What occurs when the reverb goes into the SY1? Or perhaps a reverb into SY1 into another reverb?
@@bep86 I don't have limits to experiment in music and pedal chains, but a reverb into the sy1 sounds really bad to me. But man, everyone has his own taste. 😊
@@PerryFrank haha fair enough I have never tried it. I guess the only limit is imagination, love your playing :)
@@bep86 absolutely agree, thanks man 🙏🙏
This is the best sound I‘ve heard from the SY-1 so far.

Yeah I thought I didn't really like the synth pedal that much until I discovered using it with reverb. Great for ambient cleans and such.

@@LoVeAmBiEnT I've owned both as a player and audio engineer, and people prefer the RV-6. Use your ears.

These 2 pedals make an awesome pair. I'm spending hours playing with them... thanks for this video, got some tips out of it!
Thank you very much 🙏
OMG...you just sold me one of these !!!
The dangers of watching these well done demo videos !!!
Great job !😄👍
Thank you very much 🙏

Thank you very much! Glad to know these clips are useful somehow
Great demo. I think I hear a setting that wows me, and then the next one comes along, and wows me again! Great little pedals!
Thank you very much indeed 🙏
I want to get the synthesizer to try with my Strymon Big Sky and Timeline. I bet I could come up with amazing sounds. Also, this demo was beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you very much 🙏
I forgot this was a pedal demo and just listened deeply to your playing. Excellent ! Thank you - John
Thank you very much indeed 🙏
That last sound is my favorite

Great demo! It’s like playing an expensive analog synthesizer, but without paying thousands of dollars for one.
Thank you 🙏
You made me take my SY-1 out of the drawer :)
Cool sounds!
Thanks so much 🙏
big like from my side
Sound 5 was my absolute favourite!
Thanks for that wonderful experience!!
Thank you very much 🙏
here we go again! Now I will have to find a SY-1..Your channel is amazing. Excellent demo!
Thank you very much indeed 🙏
So THIS is how I should be using my SY-1!! Fantastic sounds Perry, thank you.
Thanks a lot! I think it's one of the best Boss pedals ever.
I love sound 5 and 11. Reminds me so much of blade runner. Actually a lot of it does
Thank you very much 🙏 Vangelis is always an inspiration to me
Yeah 5 and 11 definitely
I just love Boss pedals. Top quality stuff!
🔥🔥
Beautiful. Thanks Perry.
Thanks a lot 🙏

Great combinations !
Thanks a lot 🙏
Beautiful stuff - thank you
Thanks so much 🙏
Epic! Keep'em coming.
Thank you very much 🙏
Love your SY-1 videos!
Thanks so much Nathan 🙏
@@PerryFrank Love the sounds you are getting.
Amazing sounds. Thanx for sharing. Now I want a SY-200 :-)
Thank you very much 🙏
I had an SY-200 and after a lot of messing around I realised the SY-1 and RV-6 combo does everything I want so sold the 200 .
I am curious about playing technique versus the tech of the pedal. Most of the note changes sound like fade out- fade in the new note, like when you turn down guitar volume, pluck the string, then ramp up the volume. Am wondering what faster note playing sounds like.
You got some great sounds from that little box.
Sound 5 its like Terminator sound 👍
Good job ! Extremely useful.
Thanks so much 🙏
you could also add digital delay (with or without feedback)
Hi- I've been trying the SY out on my board but hadn;t tried mixing these together- thanks :)
🙏🙏
You are the man ✌😊

Thank you so much for this video. I want to buy this pedal for ambient guitar but most people on TH-cam play pentatonic solos on it.
Thanks, yeah that's the reason I made this clip.
Great pedal, I can't find it no more!
Im so interested in the sy1 lol...this vid is awesome
bin beeindruckt!
I’m… I’m gonna use these on my accordion.
I'd like to see that! 😀

Thanks a lot! They're not so expensive and they sound really good 🙏💣
Vangelis on guitar 😄👍
Thanks so much 🙏
Welcome to Blade Runner
Que som bonito. Com certeza é o pedal que compraria.
I need to get them so dark sounds
Very nice Perry, I never realized you could get so many sounds from two pedals. Are you using a volume pedal? Thank you.
Thanks a lot, I don't use volume pedals, this is my way to create swells, watch here: th-cam.com/video/vZPC3sAu_Og/w-d-xo.html
Wow!!! 🔝🔝🔝
Wondering if I could get close to this replacing the RV-6 with a TC Flashback X4?
excelent

can two sy-1s be connected piggy back style?
Bro Sound 8 sounds just like minecraft style. nostalgic
uuuh! Love that videogame!

With a guitar
La progresion 11 es asombrosa amigo. Qué acordes utilizas?. Saludos desde Jaén.
Thank you, it's an improvisation on only one chord: Am
@@PerryFrank maestro! Haz cursos !
Can the SY 1 make a choir like sound similar to the EHX Mel 9? Thanks
Not like the Mel9 but like the B9 because it has an organ tones section.
Sounds great! How would you rate the RV-6 compared to Blackhole Reverb or Blue Sky?
Bluesky are surely better but too expensive. It depends on your money
So no juicy sawtooth lead synth solo sounds then?
Not in this video sorry
The biggest disadvantage Is you can’t save settings. If I want a sound fast, this pedal is useless. It’s good for record on the go and some jam fun.
SY 200 literally just got released not to long ago it's this pedal basically but with midi presets. Check it out
@@francismcfadden3305 I bought the SY-1 literally days before the SY-200 was announced. I loved the sound but hated the lack of presets and tap tempo...so I returned it and preordered the SY-200.

So I need two amps or stereo out? Is that a must for these types of sounds?
Two amps is a good solution
The sound of sy1 are the same of sy200? Thanks
I think so
Thanks for this. I own this pedal and I find the high-E string does not track well. Also, not very many useful sounds, despite all the variations. The Synth9 pedal is better IMO.
