Ok now this is what I was waiting for. A real world video. Not just another Boss demo.

EHX: "We made like 6 synth pedals!"
Boss: "Hold my beer."

I absolutely love how you could probably rightfully classify every sound it gives you as "80's", but in the best sort of way. It's like Boss decided to just make the ultimate synth wave guitar pedal.

I'm a pedal addict, it's been 2 weeks since my last pedal purchase .You could sell me an empty box and call it reverb and I'll turn knobs all day . Really cool pedal .

[salonundo]

The video served its purpose, i made the purchase before halfway :)

[gordonmcewen]

Why is this the greatest pedal ever? - it has a knob that goes up to 11

[ElisandroDeLeon]

Best sy1 demo yet. I was thinking "why buy this when I can just play an actual synth" but this handles vibrato and legato so well. Better than I could do with a keyboard. Im gonna need a bigger pedalboard. Sounds perfect for those synth guitar sounds. Time for some Mega Man X covers

You hit the nail on the head with track ideas. I am in the middle of an instrumental Christmas album and can hear things that NEED to be on completed tracks. I just got one as a surprise early birthday gift from my brother in law and got lost for three hours.

On a side not, it is great to see you busy. I remember you from the Vai video and your Bad For Good days. Your playing is as terrific as it was back then Great demo.

After watching a dozen videos on this pedal, you just sold me on it! Thanks!

[benjaminjentgen]

That sounds amazing, and it's not even a midi plug! Perfect!

[brandonv]

This thing makes me all sorts of emotional.

[SimonJohnOwen]

This is an incredible pedal. If guitarists are going to do something different in the next decade, then it's going to be using pedals like this, making new sounds come out of the instrument. Yeah shredding is cool, but its been done, it's not original, there are loads of identikit shredders out there. This could be the way forward.

Excellent demo. The sounds at 14.23 had me looking for my credit card

[paulwhitwam]

By far and away the best demo of this product. Sold it to me in a heartbeat, helped by your awesome musicianship. I'm a bassist also, so really looking forward to experimenting with this gizmo. Like you say "Track Ideas

[domformula]

I took delivery of one yesterday and my word, I could be here until next year before I’ve scratched the surface

[RPMonkeyMusic]

Honest feedback, nice playing and quality audio/video. Thx for posting man! Def gotta get one

[LuisAmbrosioFerreira]

Awesome demo! Awesome playing! I'll insert this pedal on my set on day!

[StacXion]

The thing I noticed within 5 seconds of having this pedal, is if you're a metal player, using a Fortin amp Sim (or something) use channel 1 (lower gain); cause A LOT of the synthiness/harmonics will get lost in the high gain mode/channel. A clean(er) channel with a drive pedal (Hex Drive or whatever you're using) is where it's at :)

[Scott__C]

I think this type of thing is what Roland has been shooting for since the 70s. None of the extra hardware etc. I just want some simple stuff like the organ and string sounds. Can't wait until they can add piano and other tones to this type of pedal.

[sawriter]

you by far have the best sounds and chops playing the boss sy 1 great job and thank you
