Polyphonic Synth Pedal for Guitar and Bass The BOSS SY-1 Guitar Synthesizer packs an impressive range of synth tones into a compact, user-friendly pedal. This…
Featuring exactly 121 sounds, the BOSS SY-1 lets you choose from 11 core synth types—such as leads, pads, and basses—each offering 11 distinct variations. No special pickup system or additional hardware is required, and the response is expressive and dynamic. Whether you’re adding a standout texture to a single song section or crafting full synth arrangements with your guitar, the BOSS SY-1 Guitar Synth pedal delivers inspiring sounds you’ll be proud to use.
Designed for both guitarists and bassists, the SY-1 features dedicated modes that optimize pitch tracking for each instrument. Simply select guitar or bass on the mode switch and start playing. A blend control lets you mix your natural instrument tone with the synth sound, giving you precise control over how boldly the synth sits in your mix.
Adventurous players at AJ’s Music & The Music Man love the SY-1’s send/return loop, which unlocks a wide range of creative options. The loop can be blended in parallel with the main synth output, making it easy to layer in external effects for added texture—try a slow phaser feeding a deep, fast tremolo for extra movement and depth. You can also use the send as a direct output, routing the synth signal to a separate amplifier for even more flexibility.
