    "With its 11 categories and 121 total sounds, the SY-1 puts an enormous array of synth colors at your fingertips. Expressive leads, sweeping pads, layered organs, fat basses, and more are all on tap, plus a variety of rhythmic synth patterns that are a blast to jam with. And with the grab-and-go Tone/Rate and Depth knobs, you’re able to adjust any synth voice just how you like, including changing the pitch on some sounds."

    Love the fact that you put "no blues licks" in the title. I knew I couldn't be the only one who is SO OVER that crap. It's like the grown man equivalent of how teenagers mostly all look alike even though they each think they're expressing their individual unique styles. We're not impressed. Also great video! I have owned this pedal for about a year and still haven't discovered its full potential. Seemingly endless possibilities, so much fun to mess around with.

    Absolutely best demo I've seen of this and what will probably sell me on it. Even blues aside I see a lot of other guitarists (even good ones!) struggle to really get a sound out of it either treating it like a fancy modulation effect or an lush ambient machine. The pads as tones you used for staccato honestly got some beautiful lead synth sounds I haven't heard in other demos. Great work.

    I just got this a week ako and haven't tested it yet. I have three questions:
    1. If I'm going to use it for guitar or bass, where should I put this on the chain?
    2. For me to explore its tonal possibilities, should I first compose the dry sound to my looper pedal and fiddle with the SY-1 while the sound is in loop?
    3. Can I put this on Send/Return effects loop of an amp together with the looper and other modulation pedals?
    Thanks a bunch!

Learn from this, please. This guy is getting sub after sub. That should tell you something.

      I very much like blues, but I do get completely tired of how it's the only approach most demos seem to take. Jimi was a phenomenal blues musician, but he didn't just wank 12 bars all day-- in 1983 he became a Mer-person, for example. If one of the highest deities of electric guitar could expand, so can you-- and that is a service to blues, not an insult. I will always have the blue note in my playing, but I intend to explore beyond the Blue Planet, as well. Thank you for your joke and demo.
