This Thing is great

This thing is amazing...they tend to sell them very high..best bet is getting them online. This pedal is crazy....sounds are just out of this world. I highly recommend this pedal and it is one of my favorites. This pedal sounds great and fun to play with. Just read the manual and you will be ok. Love this PEDAL!!!!

Compact But Powerfull !!!

Boss SYB-3 Bass Synth - This is one of the more insane pedals to hit the streets in years. Boss bills this as a bass pedal but don't let that stop you from permanently attaching this thing to your guitar pedalboard. Most of the 11 modes use your signal to trigger the SYB's built-in oscillator to warp your guitar sound into a pseudo synth machine. The remaining two modes dish up some uneventful auto-wah sounds that didn't come close to topping the sounds of the enevelope filters of the past. Stick to the synth and waveform shaping capabilties you've got your feet on one techno flavored device. We had a blast with the jam worthy hold/sample function that allows you to grab a note and play over the top of it. Aside from the obvious guitar and bass applications, we had some interesting results patching this into the drum channels on a mix.

for the price not so bad tracking sucks

boss syb-5 for the price is a good pedal to emulate the sounds of dance, electronica, drum and bass, on your bass. it doesnt play chords but its not meant to cant complain. the tracking is pretty much for me the only thing that really hinders the pedal. id record and the problems very noticeable. for the price no bad tracking should be improved

don't go for it!

i recently bought this item thinking that it would be a cool addition to my sound, but i was very wrong. let me tell you all the cons that they don't mention in the description: 1) it seriously needs a sensitivity knob. when i played my bass through this thing, i had to hit the strings really hard for it to capture my sound. when i used a pick or i tapped, it simply didn't pick up my sound 2) about six of the modes sound very much sound the same ,a horrible thing if you want variety 3) there aren't much options to shape your sound since all the modes are pre-installed and you can merely adjust them a little bit 4) you can only hit one note at a time; you can't play any chords on this thing. it even says this on the manual

A little expensive, but still a good pedal.

I got this pedal the other day, and I love it! It has some cool features like the Hold Note feature. It has some cool sounds, too. You also have to get used to it at first. All in all a great pedal.
