@@bep86 I don't have limits to experiment in music and pedal chains, but a reverb into the sy1 sounds really bad to me. But man, everyone has his own taste. 😊
I have the SY-1 and a lot of the types/variations lack sustain on the wet signal so it benefits a lot from a big reverb or event a delay. I used a reverse delay with some organ/bell settings and it was a lot better than just sy-1 alone
No idea why so many guitarists strap on giant expensive pedals to their boards when BOSS can achieve the same sounds and more in a couple compact pedals.
Not really tho. If you own those pedals, you would not have made that comment. No boss pedal comes close to a big sky. Maybe they’re $300 big box Get somewhere in the ballpark Nothing Does what chase bliss mood does. Or a Thermae. I love boss pedals but they don’t do with so many others can do and that’s why we have these “big pedals”. .
My god THANK YOU! I have been looking for a video of someone using the SY-1 in this way but all of the videos I have seen have just been people cycling through he settings playing corny stuff. This is perfect.
This is great, I love videos that go back to pedals that have been around for a bit and showcasing awesome sounds rather than continuing to focus on the new stuff companies are obviously sending to people at the same time. Awesome work as always!
I want to get the synthesizer to try with my Strymon Big Sky and Timeline. I bet I could come up with amazing sounds. Also, this demo was beautiful. Thank you.
Very helpful demonstration - thanks! The RV-6 brings some amazing sounds out of the SY-1, which you very elegantly bring to light. I'm learning a lot from your videos..
Tangerine Dream/Pink Floyd/Jarre/Vangelis + Shoegaze/post-rock all in a box. You can have another instrument play some expressive leads while the guitarist chills and supplies the ambience without a laptop-backing track. Variety is the spice of life!
Perry! Thank you very much! You have a very informative channel. Especially when you need to understand the pedals! I have boss. But I haven't learned how to make sound so delicious yet. )) Please, keep doing this.
Heyyo Ambient Grandmaster : "Perry Frank" .. Great Demonstration Brother !! Nice Play !! "Boss RV-6" one of my Favorite Ambient Pedals ... Incredible Sounds in a small Pedal ... And : I like to try the "Boss Synthesizer SY- 1 ... very cool sounds !! Thanks for your Works !!1 Amazing !!
I wanted to try some of these sounds out, but before I dialled to these settings the first sound I got out of the guitar was extraordinary. They're made for each other That said my SY1 tracking has a VERY heavy bias to the bass - often ignoring treble notes if they're played at the same time (in a chord). Is this the case for you too? Was a tiny bit disappointed
I am curious about playing technique versus the tech of the pedal. Most of the note changes sound like fade out- fade in the new note, like when you turn down guitar volume, pluck the string, then ramp up the volume. Am wondering what faster note playing sounds like. You got some great sounds from that little box.
These two pedals work great together this is awesome thanks, I really appreciate this. These two pedals could very well be my next purchase music wise, I play guitar as well and I've een looking for away to expand the sound I create with the my instrument ❤
Superb sounds, you did a great job, Frank, thank you. Maybe I ask too much but is it possible to get the settings for Rate and Depth you did on each sound ? Thank you again. From France. :)
Thank you very much 🙏 the settings are what you see. Boss pedals have no hidden features. You just have to watch the video and copy the settings of the knobs
Whoa! 🤯 I saw a couple of new MacBook 💻 Pro’s in a Pawnshop Sealed & to get a better deal, I had to buy a few other things. This was sitting in a case next to PS Controllers, a mistake on their part & I got it for $90 just to resell along w/a JBL Series 3 Monitor Speaker that I got for $45 Brand New - I was curious was the pedal sounded like & I’m a massive Sigur Ros & Explosions In The Sky fan about to go record my Debut Album at ARC Studios. Needless to say, I am NOT putting it up for Sale on EBay & I was just about to, almost did last night w/o listening. 1 & 10 are my Faves so far. Can’t wait to play it with my DD-7 - Thanks for the video! I Subscribed & can’t wait to check out your other videos. God Bless + Godspeed
@@francismcfadden3305 I bought the SY-1 literally days before the SY-200 was announced. I loved the sound but hated the lack of presets and tap tempo...so I returned it and preordered the SY-200. I've been jonesing for my guitar synth fix ever since. Still another 2-ish months to go before the SY-200 hits stores here in the U.S. according to the Boss website.
Thanks for this. I own this pedal and I find the high-E string does not track well. Also, not very many useful sounds, despite all the variations. The Synth9 pedal is better IMO.
: / YOU CAN GET ALL THE "AMBIANCE" YOU NEED OR WANT FROM MOST GOOD QUALITY SYNTHESIZERS! LEAVE THE GUITAR ALONE AND LET IT BE THE INSTRUMENT IT IS.... THE GUITAR! ( AND THE GUITAR IS NOT MEANT TO BE A SYNTH OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT ) : /
@@PartyOnDude_ IM NOT SHOUTING! IM USING CAPS TO HIGHLIGHT MY WORDS! THIS VIDEO IS NOT ABOUT REVERB OR DISTORTION PEDALS MORON! I WAS REPLYING TO THIS VIDEO. WAKE UP!
