BOSS SY-1 - Is it really that good?? [McRocklin playthrough] 

😆

@@McRocklin check the new Source Audio synth pedal, that is massive, it has a modular synth engine inside ;)

@@synthanatomy yep. C4

It blows the EHX pedals out of the water. I'll still keep my Synth 9 and Mel9 though.

@@stevesmith3990 agree. I just got my bass mono synth. Love the thing, but is mono and tends to glitch on faster play.

Hope you enjoyed it : )

Rabea wants to know your address...

That's crazy funny dude....just give me the box!

What do you do for work ? Honest question I want to know

I can sell you that

Damnit I laughed. G.A.S. forever.

The weird odd reverb or delay makes a real assessment very difficult. The player is competent but many cliches are being played, and I think buying this pedal you would try to come to some truly original ideas or sounds. But then again this pedal seems to track better than the EHX modelers.

Haha enjoy man.

Yeah if I *had* the cash this would totally be a "Shut up and take my money!" moment :D

Exactly the same!

Most go up to 10. This one goes up to 11.

And it was sampled in 'Dublin'.

oh wow it does! thought you were joking

Ive been playing for like 20 years on and off...how do I do this type stuff? I can play like 6 as I lay dying songs but cant shred like this

@Christopher Atkinson I really don't play like this much either. My emphasis has been tightening my picking hand to play and fat chunky metal riffs. I'm more Hetfield than Hammett anymore. Lol. To play like this, you just have to master scales and practice bending techniques. Lots of blues in this sound. McRocklin's style is extremely soulful and expressive, so bending is a huge part of it. Once you got that down, find you a sweet guitar tone with a generous amount of compression (preferably tube) and add delay to taste.

@@ibanezmaestro5630 ding dang if you didnt describe what I do and already do. But like my mind is always sated at like 4 to maybe 9 notes. Not fucking 23

@@SunsetKetch Yea I had that issue myself a long time ago. All the solos I would write would be isolated to one part of the neck and I thought it sounded good at the time. Then I heard Ozzy Osbourne's Randy Rhodes Tribute album. The whole thing was great and one of my favorite albums of all time, but his unaccompanied solo on Suicide Solution changed my playing forever. I chased that sound for many years. I wanted to put a solo like that together of my own and I realized that was just never gonna happen by limiting myself to just the first 9 notes of the minor Blues pentatonic scale my dad taught me. Lol. My point is, sometimes it takes an insane amount of inspiration from somebody like Randy Rhodes or Zakk Wylde, Steve Vai, etc. to break you out of your mold. Otherwise we do what is comfortable and don't much care to experiment with colors outside our pallette. We succumb to the "that's just my style bro." mentality that holds so many guitarists back. Trouble is, as we get older and have played for more and more years, we become progressively harder to impress, much less inspire. You might say it's for the same reason why DC and Marvel films don't impact us the same way that movies we saw when we were kids did. We become jaded over the years because we've just seen so many. But when that one guitar player does come around that can make you wanna change the way you play, you will break out of your comfort zone voluntarily and then you'll be on your way. Sorry for the long response. Lol

Get the EHX B9 or Mel9... they are simple to use and sound great

Glad you like it :)

LOL, yes. that gentleman can play

Agree totally, ima gonna loop these sounds n play over as well

👌🏻👌🏻 thanks!

👋🏻 thanks!

Cheers !

No worries, cheers!

Will look back at it, can’t remember what I did not hehe

I don't think that the pedal is something that I would use up front but could definitely see myself reaching for it using it to layer some tracks. It would offer some really great sonic variations.

This pedal is gonna sell like hotcakes. 200 bucks to kick your keyboardist off the band

@Escape The Matrix it was clearly a joke. But that said, drum machines vs synths is wayyyyy different. Drums are vital no matter what. 80s pop covers or whatever else can be keyboardist optional if the guitar player can simulate synths, however.

@@LeviBulger you joke, but really you aren't wrong. This pedal is the ultimate for one-man-band, live session type stuff

It is nearly unavailable to the market.. I have ordered it in FoundSound.au Australia. But they are not sure that whether they could bring me that thing or not. Please help me where I can get it in Australia.

Haha, don’t forget the tea 😎

🥳 cheers!!

Yeah, he's havin' WAY too much fun with the gizmo :D

👋🏻

I agree!! For some reason I'm reminded of Moonbeam City. Lol. Or some badass 80's racing game in an old school arcade.

Haha, I thought the same thing and was about to post until I read your comment. Just like stranger things lol.

Your name is better than any pedal I've ever seen revised on youtube

Yeah, I bought my GP-10 RIGHT before the SY-1000 was announced. It's almost inevitable. :D

Haha thanks. Have you heard my band McRocklin & Hutch??

@@McRocklin no but if it sounds like this I'll love it.

charlie christ get someone who knows about actual synths / what synthesis is!! there’s so many great instruments out there that are not strung 😺
