However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Boss SY-1 Guitar/Bass Synthesizer Pedal Overview

View this description in Italian

Sensational synth sound. Made simple. The Boss SY-1 Guitar/Bass Synthesizer Pedal gives you a gigantic range of different synth voices to use - 121 to be precise. But you don't need to be an expert programmer to get the best out of this pedal. Because unlike other synth pedals, it's as straightforward to use as a standard stompbox. That means finding your perfect synth voice is made completely easy.


And aside from the the SY-1's hassle-free usability, you're also spoiled for choice over the sounds you can create. With an extensive library of voices, no synth tone will be off limits. All of those voices are polyphonic, too. That means they work equally as well with chords as they do with individual notes. You can even use it with other pedals thanks to a parallel send and return loop. One pedal, everything you need.

More choice than ever before

Synth pedals don't usually offer you as much as the Boss SY-1. But then, there aren't many pedal makers out there who can cram such a huge range features into a single, compact box. This excellently expressive pedal includes an enormous selection of 121 different synth sounds to choose from. Whether you're after analog synth tones, layered chords, lead arpeggios, or full, organ-like soundscapes - the SY-1 has got you covered. With such an immense amount on offer, you'll never need another synth pedal.

Intuitive, easy-to-use controls

Achieving the perfect synth tone has long been a time-consuming, often complicated process for guitarists. Many pedals on the market require extensive programming to create the right voice for your music, and some even necessitate installing special pickups into your guitar. With the Boss SY-1, that isn't the case. It's been designed with usability in mind, featuring an incredibly simple interface that makes it quick and easy to find your perfect tone. No stressful fiddling. No awkward setup. Just stunning synth sound from the moment you plug in.

The best in performance

Impressive synth effects are nothing if your audience can't hear them properly. So Boss have made sure the SY-1 is capable of delivering the absolute maximum in clarity and performance. With innovative, latency-free operation, you won't have to alter the way you play - the SY-1 will let you play freely and naturally. And every note will be crystal-clear.

That's not all. Every synth sound loaded into the SY-1 is polyphonic, meaning you can use the pedal for both lead notes and rhythmic chord playing. A parallel send and return loop means you can easily use your other pedals alongside the SY-1, delivering even more tonal options. And real-time control, including the "press and hold" function that lets you sustain the last synth note you played, makes on-stage use a breeze. This is the ultimate addition to your pedalboard.

Voices

  • 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.
  • BASS - fat synth bass sounds, including filtered and sub-octave tones.
  • STR - classic analog-style strings, including layered voices and sweeping textures.
  • ORGAN - a large selection of organ sounds, including many with rotary-style modulation.
  • BELL - percussive synth sounds with metallic resonance.
  • SFX 1/2 - a variety of synth sound effects, including explosive one-shot sounds, animated pitch/filter voices, and more.
  • SEQ 1/2 - pulsating sounds with rhythmic pitch or filter changes.
