GFI System - Synesthesia (Dual Modulation)

Please listen in stereo :)
Here’s the Synesthesia, from GFI System (Indonesia). It’s easily the most capable and compact modulation unit I’ve ever played (just so happens to sound beautiful as well). There’s 36 effects in total and you can run 2 at once. There’s also 3 different way to route them: Cascade into the second, Mix both together at once or Split them into the left and right outputs. There’s complete MIDI control, an FX loop, presets and even a software editor that can be used in real time with the pedal. It’s actually pretty amazing how in depth it is for the size. The dual modulation is so killer. Plus GFI is constantly updating/improving the firmware and adding new effects.
This is part 1 of 2 videos, where we’ll go over some effects, basic operation and usage. Part 2 will include more MIDI controls, the effects loop and a bunch of synth stuff. So stay tuned. Check it!

Thank you for recording it in stereo!

This is a FANTASTIC review and tutorial of this pedal. You play different types of music, to the way you set the type, the font choice and the timing of the instructions right before the action is applied is very thoughtful. GREAT REVIEW!! I saw another video of this pedal and it was so boring and long. I ordered this pedal and I cannot wait to try it seems endless. I also can't wait to stack it with Earthquake Device pedals. This thing has so much potential.

I’m glad you liked it. Trying to keep things simple and informative :).

[@hudahekizzy8402]

Wow.... those are some awesome sounds. This is seriously on my radar.

[@aBunchOfPedals]

Hudahek Izzy I think it’s worth checking out. I was a little on the fence but ended up finding a lot more useable sounds than I thought. Plus when I started using the software editor for making presets, it was a whole new game.

[@pongtrometer]

Great sounds on every preset...with the routing options .

[@delivrance3961]

absolutely amazing!!! great demo!!!

[@aBunchOfPedals]

Délivrance Thanks yo! I’m glad you enjoyed it. This pedal has some serious features packed into it. Eventually I’ll do part 2 with more midi stuff and some sections that show off the software editor.

@@aBunchOfPedals yep! Happy owner of the specular...and the synesthesia is off the charts!!

[@jacklandess3683]

I see you with that 7/8 riff!!

[@aBunchOfPedals]

Jack Landess It’s my favorite :)

[@danielasebsen787]

So, I don't need to buy a Walrus Audio Meraki for that dual delay thing? Excellent!

[@PedalExperiments]

I'll never part with my MultiStomps, however I have to say this thing sounds spectacularly good. I still think they should have kept the "Wavelogic" name, though. Great demo, as always!

[@aBunchOfPedals]

Pedal Experiments Thank you :) Those multistomps seem to be very well liked.

[@PedalExperiments]

@@aBunchOfPedals The quality of the effects range "passable" to "very decent", but the real magic of them is that you can use 6 effects at once, in any order you want and save up to 50 presets that you can then cycle through. Plus they have a really small footprint and are incredibly cheap! So they're really useful for weird, niche sounds that you might only need for certain songs, as well as the individual effects being perfectly serviceable in their own right. I definitely recommend getting an MS-70CDR to mess around with if you get chance!

[@leascaart]

Did you ever make a Pt 2 for this pedal? There aren't many YT videos showing how to use the software interface. Thank you. You have a new follower.

[@aBunchOfPedals]

Glad to have you! The software interface is pretty straight forward (and actually super fun to use). There’s a few other pedals with that option out there and I think it’s great. Don’t be afraid of the software! It’s easy!

[@Numocron]

Wow man this is such a cool distortion pedal right here I love it. :)

[@aBunchOfPedals]

NXZW Oh no, not you again!

[@phish1]

How is this pedal for playing live? I’m looking for a pedal w these sort of sounds, but one where I don’t have to bend down in the middle of a song and fiddle w the knobs to find the sound I want. Want to be able to easily access what I want using my foot

[@aBunchOfPedals]

Darren Rodney Preset mode would be good for that. I’d recommend building the presets on your pc and saving them to the pedal. You get 2 presets per bank.

[@phish1]

aBunchOfPedals thanks!

[@gerolamovi408]

@@aBunchOfPedals how many banks available? thanks for the vid!

[@aBunchOfPedals]

@@gerolamovi408 you’re welcome ☺️. There’s two banks to combine. The pc editor is your friend.

[@scottsweatshirt9753]

This riff sounds like an off-time nod to Digital Bath.

[@tedheshio]

Are there any examples of this pedal into tube amps anywhere?

[@aBunchOfPedals]

tedheshi david I’m not sure

[@sassycat]

Part Two, please.

[@BTsMusicChannel]

Remember about 10 years ago, when people were always asking about pedals in youtube demos...."analog or digital"? In this case...DUH.

[@aBunchOfPedals]

BTsMusicChannel You’d be surprised how many times that questions still comes up lol

[@BTsMusicChannel]

@@aBunchOfPedals Here's a hint...if it is a little box with a lot of diverse options, it's probably digital... :D
