BOSS / SY-1000

The latest model combines a DSP with six times the processing power of the SY300, a newly developed sound engine, and a GK pickup to deliver unprecedented performance.

The SY-1000 is an innovative guitar synthesizer that brings new sonic possibilities to guitar and bass. BOSS's long-standing technology and exploration of the latest software and hardware will mark a new chapter in the history of BOSS guitar synthesizers. Equipped with a state-of-the-art sound engine, high-performance DSP, and evolved GK technology, the SY-1000 delivers the best performance with a more natural feel than ever before. Players can freely combine and layer three sounds from a wide range of synth sounds and modeling guitars to create any sound they can imagine. The SY-1000 can be used to create sounds such as thick analog-style synth leads, warm pads, dynamic 16-step sequences, and raw electric and acoustic guitar modeling. In addition, you can freely manipulate the sound to your heart's content using freely assignable foot switches, outputs, and external controls. With its vast range of sound variations and highly expressive power, the SY-1000 will stimulate your creativity with its infinite possibilities.・The guitar/bass synth and modeling processor with the widest range of sound variations and the most flexible settings in BOSS history
・Equipped with a next-generation synth engine with a sampling rate of 48kHz, 32-bit AD/DA conversion, and 32-bit float internal processing
・Three INSTs that can be freely assigned to synth, modeling guitar/bass, and a wide range of parameters provide unprecedented sound and expressiveness
・Each INST allows you to set the pitch, level, and panning for each string individually, and supports instant alternate tuning and unison layering
・Equipped with Dynamic Synth, which provides outstanding expressiveness that follows the natural nuances of guitar playing and allows uncompromising sound creation
・Dynamic Synth is equipped with two 16-step sequencers that allow precise settings of pitch, filter, and volume
