This is Boss saying to EHX, "Hold my beer."

[@TheZooropaBaby]

at least Boss pedals dont click and pop like EHX pedals do

[@Eiende]

I have the EH synth9 pedal, love it too, but I can’t stop thinking about the SY-1. I’ve had two Roland ready Fender Strats, a 12sting dual midi Warr guitar, and some Chapman products... these track better!

Anibal Resendez love reading the comments before watching through the whole video. I was dying at this comment. 🤣

[@That_Idiot_Bass_Player]

I remember being in middle school in like 84, and going over to this kid's house who played guitar. He was that kid who was the first legitimately good guitar player you ever met. I was blown away by his playing, BUT... he had these two metal boxes between his guitar and amp: a DM-2 and a CE-3. Thone things were like fucking MAGICAL to me. I can't tell you how much what those things could do reassembled my 13 year old brain. Anyway, 35 years later he still has those, and they're still in great condition.

[@mykeday]

I know what you mean I still use a dm-2 fantastic pedal. Haven't found a better delay.

[@KaltOhm]

This is the best demo of a pedal ever made in the history of humanity. Period.

[@timcrenshaw5920]

I whole heartedly agree, they're able to make some kind of techy stuff easy to understand for a n00b like me. Excellent presentation and educational for me.

[@JRP3music]

Put that Miku pedal on the send and return!

[@RobFlaxMusic]

I'm blown away... this is stepping on Enzo's toes real hard...

[@TheZooropaBaby]

Nah Enzo is much more tweakable, it seems like

[@NONAMEACCESSIBLE]

Yeah but this is much more affordable to an average mortal, you gotta think real hard if you want to pay $200 more for some synth sounds.

[@mindbodylightsound10]

It's all about the effects loop tho

[@deepwell2255]

Trust and believe you’ll want Enzo’s presets if you plan to implement a synth pedal live. Plus the arpeggiator is one of its best features.

[@jsogman]

Enzo is brilliant but I sold mine bc I found the tracking, while good, to still be not to my liking, I feel like the technology for that kind of polyphonic tracking is very close but just not quite there yet to imo... not sure if its FFT transform tech or what, I just feel like if there's an Enzo 2 it's going to be my shit by miles ...this one also looks fantastic though

[@HunterAnton]

"we are definitely firing synth players"

[@PedalScience]

Lol I cannot wait to see someone stack 10 of these in parallel

[@SubjektAudio]

P&E please do this

[@SuperKillbill66]

Yeah would sound nothing short than an alien invasion

[@buffalobrown3000]

Haaaaa yeesssss!

[@NahTrust]

Please

[@benrothschild6074]

subjekt Audio mission accepted just give me a while to buy them all and a couple of those new ehx parallel mixers

[@gex581990]

It’s a parallel send and return that is used for adding effects to just the synth sound so it doesn’t affect your dry signal or any pedals earlier in your chain and only blends with the synth signal

[@Spaghettaboutit]

Label Me Justin technically it's series - I'm assuming it goes this -> Synth Input -> Synth preamp -> external send -> random pedal -> Return -> Synth Effect -> Output

[@jpl9148]

All Boss pedals from now on should be like this

[@veerchasm1]

1:30 WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ MIDI! First Boss pedal I’ve been excited about in years

[@jpl9148]

Talk for yourself

[@KesslerMickschGeorgeII]

I’m only 55 seconds in and just wanna say this pedal is awesome and it’s totall bull crap that there’s no one in the world to take my money and send me this pedal. Thanks for the torture Boss!!!

[@colingrogan111]

As someone who has been struggling to learn keys to get more production versatility, this is p much the greatest shortcut ever. I'm def getting one.

[@rolyat]

Hahaha I love the simple blues riff being played into a space gun sound

[@eskilseter]

God damn, this box is insane. I need one yesterday.

Just got mine flew days ago it blows my mind pretty neat effects in this bad boy

[@NicholasGreenwood]

I'm into it! I've got a guitar equipped with a Sustainiac, so I wonder what this could do for a prolonged synth pad sound.

[@awogbob]

This is the most perfectly trackign synth pedal Ive ever heard honestly.

[@MrFuzzyBoss]

The possibilities of this pedal seems endless , with a bass is even more inpressive than with a guitar. I use it one , send the guitar sound in my amp and the synth sound in the PA system thru an ABY box and a DI box. Really great immersive stereo sound.

[@merman93]

Amazing! The dual SY1’s sound like my old 1980 GR300( trying my best to sound like Fripp in King Crimson). These are backordered everywhere but at least I’m on the waitlist for Nov 25 ship. I totally love your channel.

[@morbido13]

2 pedals= 2nd box in Primer. I haven't eaten since tomorrow lunchtime.

[@ayrton555666]

[@countstoneula]

Why did you have to run the second SY-1 in the effects loop. I went from wanting one to wanting two! 🤣

[@lilbasedboi]

Ehx wants their gear that does this sorta stuff to sound this good

[@SANDBASSMAN]

Juan please, more demos on bass. It’s fantastic and amaaaazing...

Ok but how can I get this right now?!

It's the same color as the Roland GR300 I had, back in the day. (1982)

[@keeperofthelowend]

Is it just me or is boss trying to get in the keyboard/piano pedals aka electro harmonix b9,c9, key9, mel9, synth9? Either way I wouldn't mind having one.

They need a midi version in a standard size Boss pedal! There is a lot of sounds to manage. I am a little skeptical of how long it takes to recall a sound live. Tracking is perfect.

YUP!!! Definitely getting 3 of these and a Boss BCB-30!! It's gonna be so sick!

Maybe put the original Bass synth pedal in the loop? Bet, that would sound crazy, along with EHX synth pedals!

[@ryannicholas6702]

One thing I'm really curious about that I've yet to see a video touch on: with any of the Organ presets, is there a "rotary" type effect, and if so, can the expression control the speed like a brake?

Nice video, is it possible with this pedal simulate using a bass guitar the bass synth sounds of songs like Madonna´s Like a Virgin and Pet shop boys´s West End Girls ?

Hello, very nice demo you made. Do you think I can reproduce with my bass guitar the bass synth sounds from these songs from the 80's: Like a virgin (Madonna), West End Girls (Pet Shop Boys), Don´t you want me (Human League) etc ? Thanks

Great for late 80's early 90's video game soundtracks.

oh, so I need to buy two

[@nevillepark4068]

The reverb/delay treatment? ... Is that a "one" default setting or... how assignable are the timing, depth, and decay. In other words can I configure it to my own sounds or will I have write sngs to fit the sound?

[@toddgarfeild844]

does this pedal "require" the expression pedal?

Not required 100% optional
