Never easier to get synth tones on guitar
Since i heard albums like, "somewhere in time", "seventh son of a seventh son" and "turbo", i was really fascinated by that synth driven futuristic sound. When i discovered that the artists have used guitar synths i tried to find one but they were really pricey. Well, not anymore!! Boss did it again and delivered a guitar synth in a stomp and the best part is that you don't need to have a midi pickup to use it!! It has a vast array of sounds, from leads and pads to bass and sequences!! Furthermore it has an fx loop that expands the sonic experimentation!! It tracks fast and the polyphony is great!! I'd prefer it to have some more options for sculpting the sounds and some presets but at that price and footprint we can't ask for more. Also an expression pedal unlocks even more it's potential. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes synths sounds, or who is after the classic tones from the albums i mentioned or to anyone who wants to experiment with sounds!!

Synth awesomeness
Well built, as any other Boss' pedals. Some sounds are great, some are less great but hey, you've got 121 combinations to play with and you will definitely find at least 10 or 20 or more variations that will be great for you for recording or just having fun, and one or more combinations that you may use for playing live to spice your solos or chords. Works great with the single coils too.
Great pedal, would recommend.

Random magic touches of character
When watching the reviews, I could hear there were tons of fun sounds I could mess around with. But it isn't until I started playing on it that I realised how incredibly inspiring and versatile this was. You can get an ambient sound, a thicker sound for rock (like slap back delay but even shorter and therefore better, in my opinion), searing lead tones of doom, or self-deprecating cute bubbly sounds to play Spongebob-like songs, etc. When blended with the dry guitar sound, this adds so much character to your guitar line. It's no longer just the bridge pickup or the neck, etc. Every setting feels like a special door into an imaginary world that you might never find again if you don't take a picture of that exact setting. Yet, I prefer not to take any picture, as I believe that the randomness of the sound is also what makes it so magical.

A real gutar synth
Great pedal.
I have had a lot of fun with this, and it has been the inspiration for new compositions. Great for funk and jazz.

Great Pedal
Wide variety of sounds, easy to set up, well built, good features. Quickly became indispensable on my board for a handful of sounds. Only issue is not having any way to quickly swap between settings - if there was an option to add an a/b switch in some way it would be amazing. But still, great pedal.

Boss delivers, one more time, an affordable synth pedal with lots of possibilites packed in that iconic little metal box. I've been using it with my Tele for ambient pads and am very happy with the results. Thanks again, Thomann!

A-mazing!
Some extraordinary sounds from this pedal - and the tracking? Incredible. You just don't notice any delay from pick to speaker. Forget any of those Roland pickups or triggers. If this isn't enough for you get the bigger brothers. Truly lush.

This synth pedal is pretty fun and creative pedal that can add some cool synth sounds to any guitar or bass out of the box. The tones are tracking-fast, versatile, and surprisingly musical, from thick leads to ambient pads and funky sequences. Simple controls and compact size make it easy to use, though I wish it had preset saving for live use.

Love it. Adding a second loop of effects is awesome idea.
