There are pedal demos and then there are Rabea pedal demos! Nobody else goes to these lengths to truly integrate the pedal into the context of a rig/song and this was truly inspiring and ingenious. So much so I'm very tempted to buy one myself just to emulate those sounds you created and even use them in my bands songs. You shed light on a way to use this pedal I hadn't even thought of. I had the SY-1 briefly but you're right that it was dumb not to be able to remotely switch between presets. I also agree that 90% of the sounds on this thing sound dates, cheesy and pretty much unusable and I wish Boss had spent more time creating more modern synth tones. But you managed to create some epic sounds regardless.

@noyd4172 2 жыл бұрын

Synth pedals are so consistently underrated, glad to see you embrace them so fully and use them so tastefully. Also re: your wish for low-end independence in your synth patches, you could use a programmable EQ right after the synth sound to manually attenuate everything about a certain frequency band. It's a crude solution, but something that might work, and if it's a MIDI-capable EQ, you could sync it to remove different things for different patches.

@gabrielscheifele4310 2 жыл бұрын

I have the SY-1 on my pedalboard with a similar signalpath. My guitar goes into the input of the SY-1. All pre preamp effects and the preamp stage of my amp are in the FX-Loop of the SY-1 and from the output of the SY-1 I send the signal to delay and reverb into the power amp.

I get along alright on the keys but when I want to stay in the zone on my guitar, the last thing I want to do is fart around with Analog Lab for hours. I can see this fitting into my post-rock/shoegaze stuff quite easily.

Love your demos bro! I have a question. I use a 10 loop Midi looper (RJM PBC). If I plugged my guitar into the input of the SY, then had the send go to the input of my looper, run all my loops like I normally would, then have the output of the looper go back to the return, would I be able to maintain my normal guitar signal when the SY is bypassed? and then have everything run parallel when the SY is engaged? Thanks!

@jamiehuggett 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Rabea, love what you’ve done with this pedal. Any chance you’d make your Quad Cortex preset you’ve made for this available on your Cortex Cloud profile? Just so it’s easier for us to hook up our own setup like this?

@bubbalip2222 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Rabea. Superb demo..many thanks... can you comment on the attack response... had a b9 pedal that was frustrating because there was a verrrrrrrry small (but noticeable) delay between the attack of the pick and the generated sound. Has boss solved that issue?

@jonlecoq 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Rabea - great demo. I have a question about the effects loop.... Do you still hear the effects loop when the synth is off? E.g if I have a chorus pedal in the loop do I hear the chorussed guitar when the synth is switched off. Then when I switch the synth on do I (depending on D-Level/E-Level mix) hear chorussed guitar and chorussed synth? Or can I set it go get chorussed guitar and "dry" synth? Cheers Jon

amazing demo question: I have a stereo rig/ integrating an FX loop I just got this pedal could you publish a wiring diagram ( perhaps utilizing an AB switch) where I can run the pedal independently or the guitar independently and then of course mixing the two together?

See that Jump riff is why I still love GK-Pickup synth stuff, you can hold the low note and still play the riff with a polyphonic synth sound. I would love an SY pedal for my board though, way less stressful for gigs.

@GreenhamGuitar 2 жыл бұрын

That's a cool idea! I have the SY300, so that should be possible... holding one of the 3 oscillators and using the other two for polyphonic leads.

Thanks I’m about to pick up this unit but I’m hoping I don’t regret it because the Sy-300 seems much better than this unit, but if the 200 can trigger other hardware and software synths with little to no latency,. I will be fine with the 200. Can you confirm this feature for me with little latency? Or should I wait and save for the Sy-300s extra sound design power? And what ac adapter should I get for the Sy-200? Thanks so much for your help man.
