GFI System Synesthesia Pt.2 - 15 New Algorithms

If you caught my first demo of the GFI System Synesthesia, I showed you just how powerful this dual DSP modulation machine is.
• GFI System Synesthesia...
But since then, Firmware V2 has given this multi-effect pedal not only bug fixes but 15 new algorithms (38 Total), Symmlab editor updates and a long awaited Rotary Speaker emulator.
The dual DSP architecture allows the Rotary effect to be divided in two: the bass rotor on one channel and the treble horn on another. Primary controls offer fine tuning of each rotor’s min/max speed as well as intensity, acceleration time and mix. But most crucial in a rotary effect is ramping between fast and slow speeds, so by holding either footswitch, the Synesthesia knows to trigger both rotors to change speeds at the same time.
Familiar effects from the original firmware like Tremolo, Formant, Phaser and Flanger have been given their own arpeggiated mode, where stepped waveforms in various patterns give these classic effects a whole new application. You can take it a STEP further by plugging into your computer and running the new Symmlab Arp editor for greater refinement of the Arpeggiator steps and patterns.
Lastly, there are some serious sonic manipulators like Ring Modulator and Bit Crusher, plus very powerful filtering algorithms like Parametric EQ which can help carve out classic modulation effects and provide a really powerful lead boost. The Pressed Junk algorithm adds comp, dirt and vibrato all in one for lo-fi tones while, Record Antics and Phono Filtering work hand in hand to deliver vintage record player effects or even extreme filtering for intercom or megaphone effects. The Symmlab editor makes the firmware V2 update very easy and GFI System have included very clear instructions here: www.gfisystem.com/downloads--...

I know you guys get distracted by the awesome Andy playing, but don't forget to click that like button... I'm pretty sure it helps Andy a lot.

[@cliftontorrence839]

Andy for President !

[@ezm69]

I already loved my Synesthesia and this just makes it even better!

[@StructureinSound]

Always on the money, the best Demo Provider on KZbin, great clear, precise, and full of information.

[@kevinhetzel8654]

Great demo, as always

[@JonNewquist]

I heard lots of useable sounds in this thing. Very cool. Firmware updates are the future. Already updated my Plethora for more joy.

[@petrimusic]

The Plethora looks EPIC! :D

[@Mikeyscotterson]

HE ENDS WITH SPONGEBOB I'll take one

[@AronOrtegaG]

Andy rocking a Nik Huber Twangmeister? Alright!!!

[@ardiris2715]

That was a quite respectable organ emulation, far more organic than the EHX pedals. Apologies for the pun, ugh.

[@DroneCorpse]

ORGANIC ahaha

[@mikeroadblock]

What’s the play on words?

[@lainf3v]

Great demo. But what was that on the min 4:00? It sounded weird, was it the pedal not realizing what you were doing fast enough?

[@uncletoby1]

Help! Does anyone know how to get decent Octave up/down sounds from this? I have this and love it. For me the only let down is the Octave algorithm - I don’t expect it to be the POG-like quality but are there any tips for getting the Synesthesia into that ballpark? Maybe some of the secondary settings or pairing with a another effect like the EQ? Thanks!

[@alanblakeguitarist]

Hey brother what power supply do you use for this? I tried using some Roland ones but they cut off. Also how did you download these updates? I have a Helix too I need to update!! Thanks so much for the vids!

[@aleksmayer5907]

I‘ve been testing a lot of modulation multi fx like the Mobius, the Wampler Terraform, the Poly Beebo, etc and I‘ve got the feeling that the GFI one here is the most natural and organic sounding one (still in 2022) when it comes to effects like chorus, etc - what do you think?

[@micktheman6]

I think the mobius still sounds way better.

[@estebancandiaburgos]

the only "issue" is just mix 2 effect at the time right?

[@DolemiteSammich]

uhh what guitar is that? tele bridge pu with a p90 neck? I need....

[@AndyDemos]

It’s a Nik Huber Twangmeister 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DolemiteSammich]

@@AndyDemos Such a beauty. Thanks for all you do Andy!

[@-thirteen]

I have no idea what is being said about this pedal but it looks fun

[@martindeandrade1275]

Yayaya-e-yayaya-e-yayaya-e...

[@photosolutions8618]

I thought this pedal would be super cool and fun, but it seems like you need to study a math book in order to dial in usable tones

[@OverJam52]

Someone stop me from selling my Mobius...

[@borjaruiz1712]

This, I was seriously considering getting a Mobius until I came across this pedal...

[@BolusInfernalis]

@@borjaruiz1712 did you get it? if yes, how is it?

[@borjaruiz1712]

@@BolusInfernalis mine came defective, one of the two engines didn't work so I returned it. To be honest I lost a bit of trust on this pedal after that...

[@BolusInfernalis]

@@borjaruiz1712 thanks for letting me know. I think it can happen to anybody. a friend of mine bought a defective quad cortex, he got it replaced for a good one now. I havent bought the synestesia yet.
