Boss SY-1 Synthesizer Effects Pedal

$ 197.99 $ 273.58

With the BOSS SY-1 Synthesizer effects pedal, it’s never been easier to infuse your creative arsenal with BOSS’s legendary guitar synth technology. This amazingly expressive tool is filled with 121 ultra-responsive sounds, all distilled down into a BOSS compact pedal that slides easily into any setup. Best of all, it’s as simple to use as a standard stompbox, so you don’t need any background in synth programming to bring a new world of sonic textures to your music.

Expressive Synth Sounds, No Programming Needed
The SY-1 transforms any guitar or bass into a versatile synthesizer that’s fun, inspiring, and ready to play. Backed by advanced tech first developed for the SY-300, this super-cool pedal delivers a huge selection of analog-style synth sounds while occupying minimal space on your board. What’s more, all the sounds are polyphonic, allowing you to play both single notes and chords.

Plug-and-Play and Latency-Free
The SY-1 can be used with any guitar or bass via a standard 1/4-inch cable, providing an easy, plug-and-play experience. Thanks to custom DSP and the latest BOSS innovations, the SY-1 offers latency-free performance that’s a natural extension of your instrument, letting you to play freely and organically without altering your normal technique in any way.

A Universe of Synth Sounds Inside
With its 11 categories and 121 total sounds, the SY-1 puts an enormous array of synth colors at your fingertips. Expressive leads, sweeping pads, layered organs, fat basses, and more are all on tap, plus a variety of rhythmic synth patterns that are a blast to jam with. And with the grab-and-go Tone/Rate and Depth knobs, you’re able to adjust any synth voice just how you like, including changing the pitch on some sounds.

At Home in Any Rig
As a standard BOSS compact, the SY-1 drops into a serial pedal chain like any other stomp. But with the send/return loop and dedicated mix controls, it’s also possible to blend one or more pedals in parallel with the SY-1’s synth voices. For example, you can patch drive pedals in the loop, and then send the combined output to mod, delay, and reverb pedals for overall processing. The send can be used as a direct out as well, enabling you to route synth and guitar sounds to separate destinations.

Enhance Performances with Real-Time Control
The SY-1 offers a numbers of ways to make your synth performances even more dynamic and expressive. Pressing and holding the pedal switch sustains the last-played synth sound, allowing you to jam with regular guitar over the top. You can also connect an external footswitch for tap tempo and octave-shift effects, or plug in an expression pedal for continuous Tone/Rate control.

SY-1 Sound Types
-LEAD 1/2—A wide range of sounds suitable for single-note soloing.
-PAD—Full tones that work great with chords, from layered pads to synth brass and more.

Rounding out the system is a rugged bodypack transmitter, which is compatible with nearly any instrument and runs for up to 25 hours on regular alkaline batteries.

Premium audio performance with lightning-fast BOSS wireless technology
Automatic 14-channel scanning makes set up quick and uncomplicated
Large LCD shows channel status, wireless strength, battery life, and more
Stompbox-size receiver fits easily on your pedalboard
Bodypack transmitter works with nearly any instrument and runs for up to 25 hours on two AA alkaline batteries

Short high-quality cable included for connecting the transmitter to a guitar or bass
Receiver powered by AC adaptor or two AA alkaline batteries
Convenient DC output on receiver for powering other pedals (when using AC adaptor)
Instrument input for using a standard cable without removing the receiver from a pedalboard
Included WL-60T Transmitter also available separately for backup and outfitting additional stage instruments

BOSS Wireless Performance

The WL-60 delivers exceptional sound quality with wide dynamic range. It provides solid audio performance with absolutely no drop-outs and a class-leading low latency of just 2.3 ms. The WL-60 delivers great playing feel with no lag whatsoever. Up to 14 WL series systems can be used simultaneously in one space, allowing multiple musicians to enjoy wireless freedom at the same time.

Visual Feedback Puts You in Control

With the WL-60’s automatic scanning feature and informative display, the channel selection process is effortless, eliminating complicated procedures required with other systems. All 14 channels are shown at one time during the scan process, giving you a complete overview of the current wireless conditions. This makes it simple to optimize performance for any stage situation, ensuring that you always have the very best tone.

Ready to Play in Seconds

Setting up the WL-60 to play is fast and efficient. Simply press the Scan button, then wait for a moment as the 14 wireless channels are scanned and the clearest are indicated. Next, select the desired channel on the receiver, power on the transmitter, match the channel and you’re done. The WL-60’s LCD also provides constant visual feedback on channel selection, wireless strength and other parameters.

Rugged Bodypack Transmitter Works with Any Guitar or Bass

Compact, lightweight, and durable, the WL-60T Transmitter mounts on your belt or instrument strap. Up to 25 hours of runtime is provided with two alkaline AA batteries. Using the display and selector buttons, you’re able to adjust the operation channel from your playing position. And since the WL-60T connects to your instrument via a short standard cable (included), it works with nearly any guitar or bass.

Just Another Pedal on Your Board

The receiver in the WL-60 system is the same size as a standard BOSS compact pedal and can be powered just like your other stomps, making it an easy addition to any pedalboard setup. Simply place it at the beginning of your chain and connect the receiver’s output to the first pedal. And thanks to the regular ¼-inch input jack, you can always connect via a traditional guitar cable when needed without having to re-patch or remove the receiver from your board.

Cable Tone Simulation

The WL-60 includes two selectable cable tone simulation options that reproduce the natural capacitive effect that’s introduced when using a guitar cable with standard passive pickups. You can also bypass the effect when cable tone simulation is not desirable, such as when using an acoustic/electric guitar with an onboard preamp or an instrument with active pickups.

Pedal Power Distribution

When the WL-60 receiver is powered via a BOSS PSA-S adaptor, it becomes a power distribution center for other stomps on your board. By using an optional PCS-20A daisy-chain cable, you’re able to power a number of BOSS compact pedals at the same time.

Battery-Powered Operation for Mobile Gigging

When performing on the street or playing gigs that require quick set up and teardown, running your pedals on battery power is often the best way to fly. The WL-60 lets you go wireless as well, with the receiver providing clear, cable-free operation for up to ten hours on two AA alkaline batteries.

Darkglass Electronics Alpha Omega Bass Preamp Pedal

Darkglass Electronics

$ 319.99 $ 419.99

Besides being an amazing composer, producer and bassist, Jon Stockman is amazing at crafting some of the most devastating bass tones in the world. We got together in our then Helsinki headquarters 18 months ago and after endless tweaking and tens of prototypes we are finally ready to announce our first co-designed creation: Alpha · Omega.

This creation differs greatly from our previous preamplifiers and overdrives: it is fully operational amplifier based and has two distinct distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega) which can be selected or blended using our Mod knob. This unusual control, in conjunction with the toggle switches and 3 active band equilizer makes Alpha · Omega the most flexible among our designs.

Features

Blend

Mixes the clean and processed signals. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine mix tuning.

Level

Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.

Drive

Sets the amount of gain in the overdriven signal.

Bite

Boosts High Mids (2.8kHz) for additional presence and definition.

Growl

Shelving Bass Boost for a fatter tone and increased low end saturation.

Mod

Selects or mixes between the two distinct distortion circuits: Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas Omega is simply brutal and raw.

Bass

+-12dB @ 80Hz

Mid

+-12dB @ 500Hz

Treble

+-12dB @ 5kHz

Parallel Output

Hardwired copy of your input signal, useful for getting a clean signal in recording and live situations

Direct Output

A balanced version of the ¼” output, useful for running into PA’s or studio mixing consoles.

DIMENSIONS

12×10.7 cm (4.72×4.21 in)

WARNING

The Alpha·Omega has a current draw of 30mA. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Due to ecological reasons it does not accept batteries. Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty.
