Playing synthesizer sounds through your guitar is always a blast, and the (now discontinued) Boss SYB-3 Bass Synthesizer makes it even more so. 11 different modes allow for literally ENDLESS possibilities; you could play this this every day for a year straight and probably never hear the exact sound twice, it’s that versatile. And if you mix and match it with other fun pedals in your arsenal (delays, reverb, ring mods, etc.), you can get some SUPER trippy, spacey, out-of-this-world soundscapes.
It even has a HOLD function, where you can sustain a synth-y note while playing over top of it. Auto-wah, phasers, synth fuzz and even video game and techno bass sounds come pouring out of this box. It works really well with guitar, too – that’s what I use it for, just to add a little weirdness once in a while, or drop some funk bombs in the middle of a spaced-out jam session.
A super fun toy to have around, but can also be an essential piece of a guitar or bass player’s rig. Super Mario Brothers-style noises are just a foot tap away with this machine (and this one is better than the new SYB-5, in many player’s opinions) – if you can find one, jump on the chance to own it.
