BOSS SY 1000 ALL SOUNDS Namm 2020

Youtube does not pay me, please help support my content financially if you enjoy it.

EVERY SINGLE SOUND on the Boss SY-1000! I hope you enjoy this very nerdy video. This boss SY 1000 synthesizer guitar pedal is the best technology in the world when it comes to synth pedals. It is releasing on January 31st for $1000.

Infinite Sonic Possibilities Await
The BOSS SY-1000 synthesizer pedal for guitar and bass represents the pinnacle of BOSS and Roland's guitar synth technology, refined over decades of player feedback. Three distinct synthesizer instrument engines can be played simultaneously for exceptionally deep and rich sonic textures. You can plug your guitar or bass directly via 1/4" cable just like any other effects pedal, or you can use Roland's GK pickup for the most precise pitch tracking and per-string parameter tweaking. Factor in its built-in effects loop, multi-effects capabilities, instrument modeling, external control inputs, and freely assignable footswitches, and it's clear the BOSS SY-1000 is the most advanced synthesizer pedal ever devised.

Updated sound engine for more sonic potential than ever
With its updated sound engine, driven by custom DSP and featuring 32-bit/48kHz sound quality, the BOSS SY-1000 is the best-sounding BOSS guitar synth to date. You'll also notice that the tracking is ultra-precise, with no latency to distract you from your performance. And with the ability to dial in three simultaneous instruments, from synth leads and pads to bass and more, you've got a ton of creative potential right at your feet.

Ready to adapt to your preferences
Whether you normally plug straight into your amplifier, multiple amps, or go direct, the BOSS SY-1000 synthesizer pedal is ready to adapt to your style. Its footswitches are freely configurable, so you can put your most-needed functions right at your toes. And the outputs are freely assignable too, making it easy to split up your signal path however you like. You could send the synth sounds to a separate amplifier, for example, or record your guitar and the synth sounds on separate tracks in your DAW. You even have a send/return effects loop built right into the SY-1000, allowing you to add your favorite effects pedals to the mix.

Create hybrid guitar and bass tones
By connecting your guitar or bass to the SY-1000 with both your GK pickup (sold separately) and your instrument's 1/4" output, you can combine your instrument and synth tones to create an endless array of sonic textures. Add a saw-wave lead synth sound to your guitar to take your solos to new heights. Add pads to your bass tone to create extra octaves of sonic interest. With the ability to dial in three simultaneous instruments, the various tonal combinations you can craft are practically endless.

Dynamic Synth engine makes guitar-synth more expressive than ever
We're no strangers to BOSS guitar synth technology here at Sweetwater, and we're mighty impressed with the Dynamic Synth in the SY-1000. For the best results, connect your instrument to the SY-1000 via your GK pickup as well as your 1/4" instrument output. The GK pickup will give you ultra-precise pitch tracking for the synth sounds, while your 1/4" output will inform the synth's envelope shape and how it responds. In other words, Dynamic Synth follows the natural volume envelope of your instrument, further fusing your synth sounds with your playing style.


GearSounds is the newest up and coming gear review and demo channel on youtube. For years I have played gear related to guitar and keyboard and now it is finally my turn to put my opinion in. I have been playing guitar since 2004 and I'm ready to give my opinions about all of the newest, best and most reliable gear available today. I am a huge fan of Wampler pedals, Digitech, Chase Bliss audio, Strymon, VOX, Friedman, Dunlop, Boss, Electro-Harmonix, Walrus audio, Zvex, JHS and more. Expect to see me at Namm every year. When the videos at Namm run out I'll keep you entertained with in-depth reviews and demos of my favorite gear on my pedal board and beyond. I hope you enjoy GearSounds! Keep playing an instrument. If we don't keep playing our instruments music will continue to die. Even if it takes an obsession with gear to keep us going I am here to help. I am always up for suggestions and collaborations on this channel. Simply contact me here on youtube or my music channel on facebook. If you want to check out my music you can go to:

Best review of the sy-1000 cant believe it!!

[Zobin]

Thank you so much for going through all the sounds. That is such a gift to those of us who want to know what this machine is capable of ... especially because of the price. Great review!

[manifestomode]

I appreciate your videos actually, . I’m watching a second video now so forgive my ADD if you answered this, . But which SY of the series needs the pickup man. Thanks for any confusion you’ve helping us to eliminate. And good job man.

[honestinsky]

Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated. New sub. A+

[sebastiangomezmusic]

I’d love to hear a side by side comparison of the guitar models on the SY-1000 with the real life versions. Thanks for the great demo!

[kikegto]

YEZ , GRACIAS POR TU TIEMPO INFORMACIÓN GRANDE

[Highmagic]

You are doing gods work my friend. <3

[peterrezba]

they should of never prioritized the SY 1000 with the GK 13 pin pickup They should of made it like the 300 1/4 inch guitar jack all the way. I just purchased one and only 30% of the device is operable in Normal mode and then I had to buy the GK3 pickup/cable and none of my guitars work well with it besides the GK3 pup is outdated flimsy junk Lol I'm returning mine I should of went with the SY 300 but even that's outdated even the software >>> disappointed with BOSS this time They didn't think this out properly even the New Eurus GS-1 guitar is not rigged with a 13 pin connector more proof they f'd up prioritizing the SY 1000 with this STUPID GK 13 pin crap!

[RockinJohnny]

If it had loads of normal guitar fx, as well as every instrument like Piano, Cello, Banjo, even drums then I'd be interested

[vincentsantiagogmai]

And thank you 🙏 for this youtube video

[backpackerway]

Hey mate at 5:20, that effect 05-2mono porta could we find it or an equivalent with the rc600 ? Cheers

[solo]

How does this compare to the gr55 any differences ?

[sirtrash]

Hello,

is there any difference in "AMP modeling" sound quality when output of standard pickups goes through GK-3 system + 13 pin “MIDI” cable (Roland GKC) to “GK in” input of Boss SY-1000 and when output of standard pickups goes direct to “Guitar input” of Boss SY-1000?

Thank you very much.

[vincentsantiagogmai]

i will like if you do only using Gk3!using guitar 🎸 sound on all clean sound it have just for guitar 🎸

[dunbarcustomsound]

This is dope. I wish you would have spent more time on the acoustic sounds. This is quality. Can’t wait to play with the OSC Drums

[rickwilliams]

Thanks for going through all the sounds! It looks like it doesn't really replace the GR-55 (in that it has piano and other instruments), and it adds GK controller access to do VG stuff. I am curious as to how it could integrate into my DAW, and if it can control MIDI sounds from another synth. I understand that this will allow you to input MIDI data onto a track in your DAW....I wonder if anyone has really used it in that way, and if it works...

[Pyriscent]

$1220! That's not including tax lol

[kitko]

A) SY-1000 has effects from GT-1000 which is still BETTER than anything Line 6 produces in 2023. Heck, even Zoom G6 gives Helix a run for its money. The problem is that youtubers do not listen to the gear with their ears but with their eyes and are way too lazy to dial in the sound.

B) No other synth unit comes close to the gear that uses hex pickups of any variety becasue they cannot process 6 strings individually.

[razorbladeray]

I think I'll just get a synthesizer keyboard instead of this, nothing against this product but not for Techno and Trance stuff I need

[bluesyjazzer]

Almost all of this sounds are totally useless! 😥
