Features

Expressive synth sounds, no programming required
The SY-1 transforms any guitar or bass into a versatile synthesizer that's fun, inspiring, and ready to play. This ultra-cool pedal offers a huge selection of analog-style synth sounds while taking up minimal space on your motherboard. Best of all, all sounds are polyphonic, allowing you to play single notes and chords.

Thanks to custom DSP and the latest BOSS innovations, the SY-1 delivers latency-free performance that's a natural extension of your instrument, allowing you to play freely and organically without altering your normal technique in any way.
