Features
Expressive synth sounds without programming
The SY-1 transforms any guitar or bass into a versatile synthesizer that's fun, inspiring, and ready to play. This super cool pedal offers a huge selection of analog-style synth sounds while taking up minimal space on your motherboard.

Thanks to custom DSP and the latest BOSS innovations, the SY-1 delivers latency-free performance that's a natural extension of your instrument, allowing you to play freely and organically without changing your normal technique in any way.
