BOSS SY-1 - Who Needs a Keyboard Player Anyway??

If you're a gigging guitarist and have never been able to play classics like Jump and Africa in your band because you don't have a keyboard player, the SY-1 is the secret weapon that you need! With 11 different types of sounds and 11 variations on each, there are a whopping 121 synth tones at your fingertips. No menu-diving, no programming - just a heck of a lot of fun.
If your band DOES have a keyboard player... you can finally fire them.
Just kidding.
Maybe.

[@eongxien]

Admit it, we've been playing guitar for decades just so one day we can finally cover BSB.

[@sixstringsamurai77]

Hahahaha 100%

[@petescript991]

Amazing! Please do a sequel to this video. Be great to hear some Weeknd or pendulum!

[@jeanpat8946]

Absolutly brillant !!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think in my life Ive ever seen backstreet boys represented on guitar. Rock on

[@sixstringsamurai77]

Backstreet's Back, alright!

[@taylodl]

@@sixstringsamurai77 I never even liked this song until I heard you play it!

[@JustAlliance]

Great demo my friend!!!

[@danli9019]

I really miss this guitar, killer player

[@sixstringsamurai77]

I think you might have it mistaken for another Suhr, I don't think I got this from you?

[@81realtime]

He did it!

[@francescomaria8660]

Great job! Is it possible to get a coldplay/avicii A Sky Full Of Stars sound? Thanks!

[@patreidcocolditzcastle632]

great work,must get one

[@sixstringsamurai77]

It's heaps of fun!

[@michalistsounakis9607]

Commentary rocks!! :-D

[@ephraimwarrior6766]

i just got it l0ve it! would y say a bass amp with this a work better? like a keyboard player a use 0ne .

[@bernardclifford4287]

Is the synth layered over a distortion lead on some of these pieces?

[@obmal_pytan]

No, those all standard spaces. There are 121 of them. This pedal is an interesting experience for any guitarist/bassist, but it will be pain in the ass to adjust it to be audible and not to persist too much in the mix. Still worthy thing to try.

[@magnusjohansson295]

Groovy.

[@jeddrenzgaming]

Love it!

[@nugget3966]

Narcotic by liquido is missing 😀

[@fryderyk2462]

Being a keyboardist...I play bass lines with left hand, and melody and harmony with right hand...I finally sound now like a whole band...hadn't so many options when I was a guitarist...10 fingers are much more than 4. If you dont want Keys, try a Chapman Stick...

[@ephraimwarrior6766]

its are turn now t0 play key parts like you all did with fl studio and all haha l0l jk

[@balltic7]

lol! love it! Thnks!

[@yoi4689]

Could you play Cbat?

[@ernestoserranoalmaraz5816]

i guess you never HEARD a keyboard 🤣. Still great job!

[@sixstringsamurai77]

I indeed have HEARD a keyboard. At least 3-4 times, maybe more

[@batninja]

Superb

[@sixstringsamurai77]

You're breathtaking!

[@robdangerfield7129]

Would be great if he published settings. I bought one of these and found. You obviously can't save any sounds you create. When you try to recreate a sound it never seems to be the same. I assume that this is me now not liking the sound I loved the night before. It isn't practical in a gig unless you are really familiar with the settings and can quickly set up the sound, which I can't. I really wish I hadn't wasted my money.

[@sixstringsamurai77]

Who is "he"? 😂 The settings are literally visible in the video. If you need presets, you want the SY-200

[@robdangerfield7129]

​@@sixstringsamurai77 Doh!, you're right. I'm watching on my phone and completely missed the SY1 on the screen. Perhaps it's time to start wearing glasses.😫

[@KetanMohite]

damn cool

[@xkamen]

great

[@sixstringsamurai77]

Thanks for watching!

[@manguera9]

i bought this pedal last year and i enjoyed playing, but after 16 months using the Boss SY-1, the pedal lost sensitivity from the top G(13 fret) and i dont know if is worth to fix it or buy a new one that can have the same problem after months of use, i dont know if i would recommend to my friends to buy it

[@sixstringsamurai77]

That's really weird. It is a digital pedal so there shouldn't be any way for it to "lose sensitivity", it really should work or not work. Did you check whether your guitar output was okay? Have definitely not heard of this as being an issue for the pedal

[@manguera9]

@@sixstringsamurai77 i checked the little switch bass-guitar ,for some reason it was in "bass Mode" so i fixed, now is working fine, thanks for the replay

[@robdangerfield7129]

Have you tried switching it off, switching it on?🤣

[@manguera9]

@@robdangerfield7129 thanks for the advise , but i did resolved, the pedal have a switch "bass" on and off, accidentally i did switch on ,that was the problem

[@2015IeepWranglerJK]

They need to make it midi.

[@James_Dawes]

Agreed

[@MaxwellEdison33344]

The problem with all guitar synthesizers is that they sound like guitar synthesizers

[@sixstringsamurai77]

Don't be the problem, be the solution

[@MaxwellEdison33344]

Truth be told I just watched about 47 guitar synth videos and yours was the best, just frustrated by endless noodling

[@razorbladeray8439]

Whoooo keyboard players will be out of a job for sure

[@zantrex4]

2 people play keyboard.
