Having watched some demos and reviews of the #Boss / #Roland #SY200 #Guitar #Synthesizer I must really ask the question: Is anybody really using this thing?
Among the many presets I heard, there was not a single one that sounded like something usable to my ears. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYua-uo0_qQ
Is it because all these guitar players don't have a sense for synth sounds? Or is it because this pedal is… crap?
Or is it, because it's Roland's #ZenCore synth engine again, the plasticy digital algorithm collection they stuff into every plastic box they're making today, ranging from keyboard synthesizers over guitar synths to digital wind instruments?
Unfortunately, their last analog #bass-to-MIDI converter, the Roland GI-20, is super rare these days (requires the GK3b special pickup and a 13-pin cable, which are still available).
Would be nice to have one of these, there is no lack of decent synths in this world of mine.
