## Description

From the manufacturer BOSS SY-200 Advanced BOSS polyphonic guitar synth technology in a streamlined 200 series pedal Offering a universe of rich, analog-inspired polyphonic tones in a small footprint, the SY-200 makes it simple to weave BOSS’s expressive guitar and bass synth technology into all of your musical journeys. Building on the fun, instant-gratification experience of the acclaimed SY-1, this blue inspiration machine features an expanded sound set, more tone-shaping possibilities, and 128 memories for storing your sonic creations. Two onboard footswitches provide deep real-time performance control, and you can take things even further with external footswitches, an expression pedal, and MIDI. Runs on PSA-series AC adaptor or three AA-size batteries Standard Features 171 Synth Sounds Three adjustable parameters for customizing sounds 128 memories for saving and recalling sounds Blend synth and normal guitar sounds with independent level controls Guitar and bass modes Expand with up to two external footswitches or an expression pedal Full MIDI I/O provided with space-saving 3.5 mm TRS jacks Micro USB jack for firmware updates A Massive Library of Expressive Synth Tones The SY-200 transforms your guitar or bass into a versatile analog-flavored synth, ready to infuse your music with dynamic, compelling, and evocative new voices. This streamlined stomp gives you 171 total sounds organized in 12 intuitive categories, along with adjustable parameters for customizing the tone and response. And with 128 memory locations, you’re able to store your favorite sounds and instantly recall them while performing. Build Custom Sounds Fast With the SY-200’s informative display and hands-on controls, it’s quick and easy to call up sounds and balance the direct and synth levels. All the preset synth tones have been dialed in by the BOSS engineers to be inspiring and playable right away. But if you want to go deeper, you can tweak three different parameters for each sound via dedicated knobs. Flexible Connectivity The SY-200 smoothly integrates into your setup in a variety of ways. Patch it in your chain like a regular pedal, or use the send and output jacks to route synth and straight guitar sounds to different destinations. And with the send/return loop and level knobs, it’s possible to craft unique hybrid sounds by blending one or more pedals in parallel with different synth voices. Powerful Real-Time Control The SY-200 provides a massive range of control options while taking up minimal space on your pedalboard. Two customizable footswitches offer multi-functional operation with press-and-hold functionality, allowing you to control synth on/off, memory scrolling, pitch bend, synth hold, and more. Expanded control is possible via external footswitches or an expression pedal, and MIDI I/O is also available to interface with other MIDI-equipped pedals and devices like the ES-8 and ES-5 loop switchers. Plug-and-Play and Latency-Free You can use the SY-200 with any guitar or bass—just plug in with a standard 1/4-inch cable and start creating. Thanks to custom DSP and the latest BOSS innovations, you’ll enjoy latency-free performance that’s a natural extension of your instrument, letting you play freely without altering your normal technique in any way. Supercharge Your Music with a Diverse Range of Sounds • LEAD—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. • STRING—Classic analog-style strings, including layered voices and sweeping textures. • BELL—Percussive synth sounds with metallic resonance. • ORGAN—A large selection of organ sounds, including many with rotary-style modulation. • BASS—Fat synth bass sounds, including filtered and sub-octave tones. • DUAL—Fat synth tones with stacked oscillators. • SWEEP—Dynamic sounds with expressive and engaging movement. • NOISE—Classic analog-style synth noise. Great for percussive sounds and dramatic effects. • SFX—A variety of synth sound effects, including explosive one-shot sounds, animated pitch/filter voices, and more. • SEQ— Pulsating sounds with rhythmic pitch or filter changes. • ARPEGGIO—Generate rhythmic arpeggios based on the notes you play.

Review: A guitar synth that doesn't require a special pickup and works great is a big deal! - The cons: The sounds are pretty dated (but so are the songs we play) and there's no way to back up any edits you make. You can save them to the device itself but it doesn't seem possible to backup the patches. I think factory reset is all you have. If you do edit a patch and want to save it you have to overwrite a pre-set which isn't ideal in my opinion. Despite being able to almost fully control this unit via MIDI, haven't yet found a midi #cc to control the 'variation' parameter. If this were possible I would be able to call a specific pre-set patch and variation and tweak the parameters instantly via midi instructions coded into the button press so all the info for my custom settings would be backed up on the DX-100. Another disappointment is the lack of a PC interface which would be very handy for setting up custom sounds. The Pros: No special pickup required so I can use any guitar. It's just another pedal in my chain. Having previously struggled to be happy with the GR-55 that's huge plus in my book. There's lots of useable sounds pre loaded and tweaking them is easy. The 'hold' feature is cool as is the ability to set a limited number of patches to scroll through with the foot switches forwards and/or backwards. Very sturdy construction and intuitive menus. Oh, and no special pickup required! I think this was worth the money for the rotary organ sound and the absence of a special pickup alone. I am really just using this like an expander. It is in the effects loop of my GX-100 and I control it from the GX-100 via midi. I don't have to touch the SY-200 itself at all. I use it to add organ and string effects in parts of songs where what I'm playing would work with the synth as well as my normal guitar sound. Occasionally I use just the synth. Starting holiday camp sets with 'I do like to be beside the Seaside' played on a guitar that sounds like a lovely, rich rotary organ is a lot of fun!
Review: Amazing pedal - Absolutely love this pedal, especially the arpeggiator settings. The sounds you can get from it are amazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A guitar synth that doesn't require a special pickup and works great is a big deal!
*by V***R on 30 July 2023*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing pedal
*by B***A on 24 November 2023*

Absolutely love this pedal, especially the arpeggiator settings. The sounds you can get from it are amazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Much better than the older versions but limited
*by M***T on 20 October 2024*

The big question is was it worth the money? I'm not sure. It was much better performing than the type with a special pickup but the sounds are of limited use. Much better when put through some reverb - sounds are quite basic but could work if trying to get song ideas. All on all its ok. If I'm at home I will use my keyboard most of the time, if I was playing live I wouldn't use it as I'm not sure how a live rig would cope with it. It's fairly easy to use and has a pretty good build quality. It is annoying that they don't give you a power supply at this price.
