Oh no. I have been so good about not obsessing over and buying pedals, but this has reawakened the G.A.S. Now I know what to ask for as a holiday present.
The great thing about pedals though is they generally retain value and sell fast. You just have to convince yourself to part with it after you're done. XD
@@kodykindhart5644 Please understand, I love it! Like searching for sounds in Omnisphere, but with added fun of playing guitar. However, most of the “inspiration” would get delegated to keys or into a looper, freeing up my fingers.
I feel that I’m spoiled My band has 3 guitarist One plays keys and trumpet too and the other two know their way around We have a Sax player who plays all types and flute as well Our trombone player also plays percussion I play bass but also add effects on top or behind or within We go everywhere 😎🤫🤫🤫 Check super secret band if you wanna check that out
So I have the sy 1 right … I think it’s great This is why … I approach it like I’m using a tremolo pedal or a vib / chorus …. Etc I never get to crazy w/ it … It adds to my all around sound .. I put it befor the drives .. And it works for me .. Thx guys you do great wrk … Peace
Wow - such a lot of clever polyphonic weird sounds. But, after 10 minutes of admiring the advanced technical gimmickry, I'd NEVER actually use any of them....
I love this pedal for my bass guitar. Plug in to my Trace Elliott bass amp, direct out into my Scarlett interface then combine it with a BOSS loop pedal/drum pedal along with any additional effects pedals. The coolest thing is that I can record with my iPhone or since the Scarlett interface requires no power supply I can use BandLab, Garage Band or whatever to record on the tour bus, Van, hotel room etc on the go. Huge sounds and a good variety. And while certainly there’s a good learning curve to it at the beginning everything is preset and easy to understand and maneuver. Put simply. I am an older man and never used bass effects other than a volume wah until recently and it has been nothing but fun. Big bang for your buck.
Just a reminder that getting low-latency synth-like sounds from a guitar without pitch-detection goes back to at least 1995 (VG-8). The more recent 2015 (SY-300) innovation was doing it polyphonically without a hex pickup. (And there are still more things you can do with a hex pickup & an SY-1000 or Spicetone 6appeal for those who want to go deeper.)
The VG-8 was great: I've owned it for over twenty years and have never seen the need to replace or upgrade it. But in terms of price and practicality the technology has now been brought within the reach of many more guitarists.
@@sordel5866 Well, there are still things that the VG-8 will do that the GP-10, SY-1, SY-200, & SY-300 won’t do. To do it all still costs the price of the SY-1000. But-yes-the developments from both Boss/Roland & other companies are great at bringing down the price for parts of it.
I never thought to blend it with the normal guitar sound, this makes it something useful! Otherwise I would've just played the synth sounds on a synth...
Wow this unit seems so much more practical than I expected it to be. I might have to actually give this one a try. I bet I could make it work in the weird doomy stuff I do.
Nice pedal for plug and play...but now boss has to update the tones. I had a 80s GR707 for years...and this pedal has the EXACT same sounds that the old GR had....with most, if not all, of the unusable noise patches included here...After 40 years (Going on 1/2 CENTURY of old technology and Nintendo sounds), it's time to come up with some modern sounds already. Otherwise, this would be great to use for a wide range of situations.
Thanks for the overview - this looks really good. Have a couple of the other Boss 200 modules and they are fantastic. Gonna put this on the xmas list for myself I think.
Got some questions. 1- How does the Sound Hold function work? Can I simply play on it while holding a synth or pad sound i.e.? And when the hold mode is active, is it possible to change the preset without breaking that held sound? 2- Are the factory presets actually created with the settings that are also tweakable by the user? I mean, if I delete a patch, it's gone for good or can I simply create the same with the available settings?
My SY-200 arrives today! Can’t wait, I’m just gonna sit staring out my window waiting for the DHL man! My band Segadeth plays video game music covers, so this pedal is gonna provide some amazing sounds for our gigs!
Hello! You know I bought it and I have a question. When you activate it, does your profit increase? It's happening to me that when I activate the pedal it, the gain increases considerably. Luckily it has volume control. But the first thing I noticed was that. Do you have any idea why that could be? I have it on my pedal board with other pedals. I tried it alone and the same thing keeps happening. Thank you so much
i got sy300 n roland midi synth and c4 .i come to the fact that you might be better of with a thing they call a "keyboard" or synth and all the notes are in order
I would use option 11 for that Buckethead sound, but that's probably all I would use. A couple of the percussive settings are pretty cool though. I'm undecided at the mo, but think I'll opt for the Electro Harmonix Synth.
Oh My...I think the Lord may be returning soon. This is truly a Phenomenal accomplishment starting with the absolutely incredible SY-1, the incredible part being the ability to use only a standard guitar cable and still get this level of Quality results with no latency. Apocalypse Now.
Excellent video again from this fine channel. I have one of these small beasts & while it's not a replacement for standard expression pedals, it does serve to augment one's home studio setup. If one is looking for a dedicated keyboard pedal, then the Electroharmonics Key9 expression pedal makes a string case with its 'clean' sounds. I have this as well. One further point, both these pedals work well with both electric as well as electro-acoustic guitars.
Yes, because Richard Wright had all types of synthesizers, and Gilmour even got on an extra Hammond during some songs, such as ‘Any Colour You Like.’ They played with stuff from Moog and other synth pioneers, so they pretty much had the equivalent.
@@xxmanx1 sounds never get old or outdated ,,,they just change and morph into new ones and people still love the sounds of a vintage tube amp and that's old ,,,some guitarists love 80s tones and sounds its just what u can produce from these type of pedals and effects,,,use ur imagination and don't give up so easy ,,,pete made some really cool sound clips and stuff
Setting 18 was interesting. Similar to guitar into a granular synth/sampler/processor; were you can have more "grains" ; that can be processed to more ambient pads than the Boss can achieve. A lot more work, but far more interesting results. You will have to buy an entire Eurorack of modules to do this; which will cost 3-4x what this pedal costs.
I'd like to hear how this might be used in a final mix of a composition with a full band...like something in the vein of Somewhere in Time-era Iron Maiden (if that's possible). Most of the demos I've hear of guitar synths make them sound gimmicky. I also wonder how the synth might sound while used with an E-Bow.
I'd love to see Pete & The Captain go 'Pete Townsend' on a Behringer 2600 Envelope Follower. :) This sounds like my ME-50, synth pedals just don't cut it for me. Awesome demo as usual guys :)
Okay the synth sounds great, but I want to know what pedals and amp Pete is using. That crunchy guitar tone is freaking beautiful without the synth. Those P 90's are smooth as butter!
Can’t say for sure what pedals exactly. But the amp is probably a model off the Boss IR200. Fun fact about the pickups in the guitar. They aren’t p90’s, they are MFD’s (Magnetic Field Design). A pickup design Leo Fender came up with in his G&L years.
Great sounds but to this gets ear fatigue, and you have to be wary for finicky elec And transformers close by, Lights(neon). As mentioned for best use, route to two amps. The synths can crash, few use this live( one amp).
I absolutely love my SY-1 but it really did need the presets. There is so much potential in these it's unbelievable! What I found is that if you really spend a little time with one of these you can come up with some of the best and most original guitar tones you've ever heard. I ran mine with gain and fuzz in various combinations and created the most insane lead sounds that would start out with "Hendrixy" guitar tone and then swell into a screaming feedback sound with bends on higher notes; but it was all controllable! It was amazing, but it took me a long time to get the sweet spot back every time I did something else with the pedal. (Your Time is Gonna Come with an organ in the background works really well also) YEAH PRESETS!!!
@@aidenbarrett It's been fairly difficult to replicate, which is why I'm excited about presets. It was roughly: Type: Lead Variation: 6 Depth: 0-1 Tone: about 2 o'clock Direct: about 2 o'clock Effect: 10 - 11 o'clock I think I was running a Big Muff in front of the SY, a reverb and some phaser after it and then out into a fairly crunchy amp. It had a smoother and creamier than usual fuzzed out tone with a little swirl to it. The higher the note I played the more pronounced the effect was. I set it for the bulk of the synth tone to swell in slowly so it would really hit like screaming feedback on a long bend. It's been tough to get it back 100% but you can probably get in the ballpark with those settings. Good luck!
I bought the SY1 with the sole hope of being able to get a Hammond B3 type sound. Big fail. I don't think the SY-200 would be any better. And before anybody says just buy a keyboard, my keyboard playing is somewhere between awful and hopeless.
Try using a compressor with it, it really helps, gives more instant attack. Works on the EHX ones too. It cuts down guitar type dynamics which makes it more like an organ. Gotta learn organ licks too, typical guitar licks do not work so well. That said, I rarely use it, except for background stuff in recordings and one tune or two out of hundreds. Like most special effects I guess...
I don't think Helix does any synthesis style stuff does it?? Maybe some of the filters could create something like this, but its really not the same product.
@@andertons Well, I remember Mr Hindmarsh has definitely demoed some synth-style presets, but having googled around a bit it seems like the Helix's synth abilities are fairly rudimentary, and not polyphonic.
I have no interest in the SY-200, even though it is a cool pedal! But I really enjoyed the video! Always fun to see what the Captain and Danish Pete are up to.
There would be a lot of sleepless days and nights and missing days at work lmmfao 😅🤣 ok I see I got two more pedals to buy that's perfect for what kind of music I play.
G&L asat special. MFD pickups. Beefier than a regular single coil. Not quite a p90. One of the most underrated guitars and pickup designs on the planet. Absolutely love mine.

I use the SY1, leave the dry signal in, set it to pads or strings, add a big delay or verb after and it sounds amazing.
That pedal sounds like every TV and movie theme song I ever grew up watching. Night Rider etc…(70’s-80’s)
Pete makes everything sound so good, and makes it look easy..
In the words of Frank Zappa when he bought his first moog....I bought a synth that cost as much as my house to make the sound of a 5 dollar harmonica!
So true, very funny comment.

The top gun just blew my mind Pete 😂🤣
I didn’t know they make other pedals besides the Metal Zone
They don't
This is just a rehoused metal zone circuit
Ooooh. That very first sound brings back the 80s so hard...I miss those sounds!
I could lose an entire day playing around with these sounds and then it would become an expensive, dusty, next pedal placeholder.
The great thing about pedals though is they generally retain value and sell fast. You just have to convince yourself to part with it after you're done. XD
Do you write record or play out?
If yes and it’s not just a blues band(not hating) then this thing is a great source of inspiration

I play bass but also add effects on top or behind or within
We go everywhere 😎🤫🤫🤫

Exactly what happened when I got the SY1! Great fun for a short while then never used in anger. It's been moved on . . .
dammit... Pete's tone is always so amazing... no matter what gear he's using!
So I have the sy 1 right …
I think it’s great
This is why …
I approach it like I’m using a tremolo pedal or a vib / chorus …. Etc
I never get to crazy w/ it …
It adds to my all around sound ..
I put it befor the drives ..
And it works for me ..
Thx guys you do great wrk …

Exactly! Put it in the background to fill and/or shape a primary tone!! The reviews don't really demonstrate that idea.

Lee; “....not for the blues player!”
Me; “my wallet thanks you, kind sir!”

In my experience this is only way to do it. Very few synth sounds sound good by themselves on guitar except maybe the GR300 sounds.
I just ordered one and agree based on the videos I have liked on it. Especially Rabbea's. Mixed tones is the way to go.
Roland Synth guitars did that three decades ago.
You beat me to it

What fun. As usual, Boss provide a ton of features for less money than most of the others.
hows the memory card works and can you make your own soundbank example from voices of nature?
Just like the synth of the 80s this thing need a good reverb to polish it more
yes...it has the same tone banks from the 80s...you would think they could update it a bit.
