BOSS SG-1 Slow Gear Demo

---

A demonstration to show the range of sounds of the legendary BOSS SG-1 Slow Gear.

The guitar recordings in this video have been made with a Marshall MA50C, picked up with a Sennheiser e840S and enriched with stereo chorus, delay and reverb to add ambience.

The BOSS Loop Station was used to save the original sound without the tube amp and additional effects. I made separate line recordings and you can find these on my website. You can send these mono recordings to your own guitar amp to get an idea how the BOSS SG-1 could sound with your setup.

Ein Demovideo, um das Klangspektrum des legendären BOSS SG-1 Slow Gear zu demonstrieren.

Die Gitarrenaufnahmen in diesem Video wurden mit einem Marshall MA50C gemacht, abgenommen mit einem Sennheiser e840S und angereichert mit Stereo Chorus, Delay und Hall, um den Klang räumlicher zu gestalten.

Die BOSS Loop Station wurde benutzt, um den Originalklang ohne den Röhrenverstärker und die zusätzlichen Effekte zu sichern. Ich habe separate Line-Aufnahmen damit erstellt und ihr könnt diese auf meiner Website finden. Diese Mono-Aufnahmen könnt ihr dann an euren eigenen Gitarrenverstärker senden, um einen Eindruck davon zu bekommen, wie der BOSS SG-1 mit eurem Equipment klingen könnte.

Mine doubles as a door stop. Can, if wedged properly, keep a medium sized door open if there is no wind. Doesn’t need the battery for that either 👍

This is the best video I've seen of this pedal. You actually show how it can be used musically. And your base tone is sick, to boot!

[amanwithnohands]

Played right. You can basically use it to do backwards guitar licks and solos from “are you experienced”

[kubienatin]

I use this effect on my BOSS ME pedal all the time. I love it when you can push enough sound through to get it to jump in and out kind of randomly

I'm trying for a full collection of Boss compact pedals, things like this and the Tone Bender are gonna be a problem for me financially.

This is the sound! The Billy Corgan Soma pedal.

[Grungebob_Squaredance]

Will this sound like Kirk Hammett? Squire mini strat and a line 6 spider. Need something for live touring rig. Asking for a friend.

Unless Boss re-releases, consider an expander or just stick with volume pedal. Very cool minimalist expander! I would not want to buy them as much as people are asking for.

[LeTRafRunner]

It makes it sound like it's being played backwards

[rich]

Sounds like a pedal "The Spin Doctors" would use!

[silverstone]

It can make u play vh cathedral without using the volume knob on your guitar
Very nice

[estudiosfolkloreiberoamericano]

I can´t get it why this pedal is so expensive

[levicreeger]

What does this pedal do to the waveform? It's trippy.

[GearSounds]

Best demo of this. You have ten times the subscribers as me but I'll catch up soon if you don't start getting more regular videos out!

[elperroquieresalir]

The first song is "It's all too much" by the beatls

[NecropsY]

So it's like a noise gate or auto swell

[petergraham]

The price of this pedal online is HILARIOUS!! It's a BOSS for goodness

[yeon_jin_]

amazing gear at 80's but for now you can make the same effect with a noise gate plugin in Logic Pro..

[DrAvery-lcbs]

Thanks -- I hate it!

But I love the video, so again, thanks.

Looks like John Frusciante in Charvel song
