BOSS: SY-1 Synthesizer

[@braxtonolita]

Thank for playing a range of stuff & quickly going thru settings & NOT talking forever lol. You’re the man

[@jamesflack8624]

First musical demo of this pedal I've seen do far... You're the best. Stay safe n healthy...

[@BrettKingman]

Cheers, James. Thanks for tuning in. All the best to you. :)

[@DogdaySunrise]

Just discovered your reviews. No frills, straight to the point, very efficient. Love it. Breath of fresh air in this exhausting reviewtainment industry.

[@littlekingtunes]

Just bought this…and I’m grateful to you for this amazing demo. You “get it” and it’s awesome.

[@flatbill2]

I love how you did something musical with all the patches.

[@coryayers5496]

I cannot see any use for this pedal. I want it. 😂

[@JoeyLevenson]

Wow a great demo that’s NOT 20-50 minutes long. I really appreciate it. You did a great job showing it off.

[@keithburnett-i7f]

Just bought this pedal after watching your demonstration. It’s a great Toy that’ll give me tons of fun!! 👍

[@nikolanebulus7259]

Best review of this pedal ever and I've seen a lot of them. You get to the point right away and the best part is that you actually get great sounds out of it! Other people make this pedal sound horrible but you make it sound like a very useful effects pedal. Plus I like how you added some dirt to it too, sounded incredible! Keep up the great work cheers!

[@rickie330]

Thank you. No nauseating, face-pulling, “look at me, not the guitar”, Metal/Blues-Rock “noodling” 😡. Just a very clear, professional video showcasing the pedal itself. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@mattgilbert7347]

Best demo of this pedal on YT. Great sounding pedal, really musical and fun.

[@davidtexmex1616]

A lifetime of fun in here, it's the BBC radiophonic workshop in a box; add some extreme dd and you can pull off the old Dr Who theme

[@dustinnance3163]

I’ve always wanted one of those micro Marshall stacks you have in the background. Pretty cool pedal.

[@orionblues]

Great demo! Quick and to the point. Now I want one . . .

[@JohnnyBeane]

Sweet Music Man guitar and awesome Synth pedal!!! Huge fan of both!!!

[@BrettKingman]

Good on you, JB. I hope all's well where you are.

[@JohnnyBeane]

Brett Kingman Thank you!! Good here! Stay safe!!

[@etherboy3540]

I love the Axis. I was messing around with one in a guitar store, a rare left-handed model. I came so close to buying it and I'm still kicking myself for not getting it.

[@JohnnyBeane]

@@etherboy3540 Great guitars! That sucks! I'm sure you will find another.

[@BluegillGreg]

Breadth depth musicality and brevity with great clarity. Well made, thanks.

[@Togwag]

Great demo, really well played guitar and what a beautiful guitar to look at! Thanks for sharing.

[@DuncYo]

I can't wait for this to arrive! in our band, the MASSIVE (in my head) crowds are going to love this!!!! dry sound.... omg

[@everythingguitar6247]

Excellent demo. Perfect mix of explanation and sounds. Thank you.

[@davidgoeschguitar6505]

I was hoping you'd demo this pedal. I can see it would come in very useful for home recording. Good stuff!

[@toneydavis9802]

Good morning Brett. This pedal has a lot of fun and useful tone on tap. Thanks for the video. Glad you had fun with it.

[@BrettKingman]

Morning, Toney! Thank you. Yes, it's a pity it has to go back. Oh well. Rock on :)

[@smithfield06]

Great video went through the settings, in such a short time very concise 👍

[@paulburton5150]

Fun pedal, but I’m not sure I could afford the matching Music Man :-). This set up is crying out for cover of Van Halen’s I’ll Wait

[@peterpigna9505]

Bravissimo i tuoi video sulle demo sono sempre i migliori.

[@markharwood7573]

Great introductory demo, amazing unit. Cheers, Brett.

[@stefanodegerome5586]

4:20 that Hammond/Leslie sound, my favorite

[@whiskeyhangover1438]

As soon as I buy it they will come out with the sy-2 with more features and half the price.

[@donmackie6086]

Best KZbin video for this pedal. Many thanks sir.

[@DoctorMcRad]

I’d love to hear someone play the synth parts of The Cars “Just What I Needed” on here. I’m sure there’s a Moog synth setting on there somewhere right? If not, that’s a huge miss.

[@yzimsx]

The dry sound on this SY-1 pedal is really good!

[@blackiejames1843]

Thanks for showing us this pedal, very versatile !

[@KoolKatDave]

Burgs, the "Who Are You" ARP synth sound is dying to get out of that pedal. You're getting close around the 6:22 mark!

[@jitterbug__]

You had me at dry sound

[@MettleBand]

🤣🤣🤣

[@qua7771]

Yeah right.

[@FullTekAuto]

My favorite effect pedal after the Roland jazz chorus clone pedal I think by boss

[@andybungert]

That first riff sounds like it was straight out of a Super Nintendo game!

[@7senza]

I thought the same lol, play some heavy riffs and you'll get doom soundtrack

[@duffman18]

Sounds more like it was straight out of a Mega Drive game. The Mega Drive sounded much better for rock/guitar sounds. The SNES sounded much better for orchestral sounds.

[@chipcaronte]

5:05 that's the exact sound you may need to emulate Contra's first stage (NES Game).

[@johnnikolis8747]

I would buy it just to play Lazy and other stuff from DP!

[@GuitarRon01]

Hello, Can you recommend a setting to get a sound like "Those Shoes - The Eagles" ... similar to a 'Golden Throat' sound. Thanks.

[@EDKguy]

Great pedal! Lots of fun!

[@jtm45stratman69]

I could hear some Europe, MiSex, Gary Nueman to name a few blasting out through that.. nice one 👍❤️👍

[@chopzuki]

Have you tried this pedal with vocal input ?

[@bobbob-im6hj]

Put a bit of Reverb on that Sucker 😂😂👌 just coz it's Good Fun ! 😂 Loved the video that was great

[@mrdudebloke744]

I dig these videos.

[@jimstahlhut1917]

I'm having trouble with lead 1 setting 1. I get no tracking above the 12th fret on the high E string. Bass response is really heavy.

[@ralvenevillareal6263]

any idea how will this pedal place in my board? I currently have a noise gate with a built in effects loop and all my dirt pedal is in.

[@stevebell4763]

Sorry but are you distorting/verbing the dry guitar sound only or the synth sound too, or both even?

[@toddsteele72]

80s TV show in a stomp box.

[@BrettKingman]

Haha. Yes! If only I could get it do the Hill St. Blues theme. Then I'd just sit back and chill. Cheers, Todd!

[@toddsteele72]

Brett Kingman Kinda sounds like Knight Rider meets Automan Don’t ask me how I remember those shows😁

[@KipCount]

Can you wire this up so it sends your dry signal on to your guitar amp, but send the synth tones to a PA?

[@whatwasithinking6139]

Curious, I though the guitar was an EVH woflgang, till he said it was an EB. They look identical. Anyone know the diff?

[@LuMartinelli]

Oh god now i need this

[@USALibertarian]

Do any amp model pedals do what thing does?

[@snowyowl1717]

Great demo! Just to confirm, is the sy1 at the beginning of your signal chain in this demo?

[@rikkilee64]

Great demo thanks

[@1004anho]

Like nr. 420 - like a boss! Great video - crazy pedal.

[@stephanvenner2939]

Oh, No!I think I need a bigger Pedalboard.That thing sounds amazing!

[@jasontinker6686]

Sounds great Brett. Is it best to place this pedal in front of the amp or FX loop?

[@TheJMan1K]

0:33 Letters From Earth - Black Sabbath

[@316word]

you can't save anything with this, so every tune you have to tweak things for different sounds?

[@jpower1436]

If John Lord and Richie Blackmore had a love child, it would be this pedal. I see some serious Deep Purple shit in this. Awesome!

[@Robcaruso]

How come mine don’t sound like that! 😂

[@alainvalodze]

Thanks. Have you tried this pedal with an acoustic pickup? does the tracking respond well? primarily wanting Pad effects. Best

[@inset09]

Great video. Thanks.

[@hippyskin6490]

Nice pedal need to get one 🎶

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

How much does it lag?

[@briankubarycz296]

You recommend placing the synth before the distortion?

[@jaketreece]

If you want to mix your lead tone with the synth- put the distortion before the Synth. If you want to make the Synth distorted, put the distortion after the synth.

[@LeviBulger]

I find that things that track usually sound and feel far better before dirt. The closer to the front of the chain, the better. Compression is probably the only thing I like before things like the SY1, Pog, Oc3, etc.

[@disjanpampoen]

@@LeviBulger I'd actually like to hear the compressed synth.

[@truthfinder4973]

take a look at Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 Synthesizer Effect Pedal they got like 9 other kind this boss one cool to

[@peterschaefer1665]

Hello Brett do you like the FM3 verses axefx 3?

[@jakollee]

Nice! What's the current draw (milliAmps)? And does it do a "swell" sound, eliminating the pick attack?

[@g-man7687]

Yes use an expression pedal

[@clif9379]

How’s the tracking on this

[@JaQuicker]

I think I've found the void that's been missing in my life

[@thestig7603]

Me too

[@houseofshred3725]

This or the SY-200?

[@Adamantiummonke]

cheers for the video ima buying one

[@johnk-ht4yj]

Pretty cool.

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

I want one!!!

[@timetraveller3063]

Starfleet, Blakes 7

[@warwickh]

Awesome

[@martyrice7924]

Thanks! Also check out my recent video which features the SY-1

[@ravenslaves]

I don't need a pedal for wind.

[@christophersoren1768]

I've got a sy 1000 for sale.

[@nickjash]

It burns …… Aarrrhhh. 👍😆

[@manilatoaster6731]

Brett is the best

[@jonhawkins2374]

Yup.

[@totallyunmemorable]

I bought one of those things. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. I've had real guitar synths and keyboard synth. That thing was one very pale imitation.

[@N64Guy]

I love mine got it brand new for 184 dollars flat

[@unocontrotutti2334]

very cool 😝👍❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@DanielRuschel]

Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 Synthesizer Machine is better? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaLIk6Ghotudn9k .Or just this kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYuuh4Owh96ha5I Electro-Harmonix C9 Organ Machine...

[@jeffb4881]

Might have to throw one of these in my junk draw for rainy days

[@hollowmenrule]

none of these pedals do some nice soft pads like vangelis and boards of canada. there is the one I forget the name, but they all do this garbage funk filter sound

[@ollieoneill5961]

Can you just stick with the boss synt. And stop showing off .

[@lookmanostrings]

WOW, that sounds atrocious.
