Tonight I gave the new BOSS SY-200 Synth pedal a bit of a shot. It's been sitting on my desk staring at me for a couple of weeks now, wanting some attention. What could I do to make a demo that's a little different to all of the comprehensive tech-talk, this-does-this demos out there? I know - USE it! Yeah. So I jacked it into the Axe-FX III. In the Axe I dialled up some delay and reverb for a Vangelis kind of vibe. I kept an old Fender combo model and a nifty pitch-shifting delay on standby too. Make it a party. Engage the looper, play an E note drone with a 'soft pad' sound and go for it. Well, that's how I'd use it unless I had to imitate some keys in a cover band or something.
The SY-200 is great fun. 170+ sounds divided into 11 groups. All the adjustment you need is at your fingertips and no special pickups or converters required. If you want to control it with MIDI and/or an expression pedal or two you can do that too. Have a great weekend!*
