maxxslipknot Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 i was wondering if the BOSS "BASS SYNTH" can simulate synth sounds for a regular guitar as well? as a matter of fact i dont even know if it is for a regular guitar to simulate a bass. im looking for pedals that give my axe a moog sound. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Its touted as a bass pedal but its perfectlly usable with guitars. i think that boss either origionall did, or were planning to, market it as a guitar pedal but didnt think it would sell well enough so marketed it to the bass players where the idea of being able to get a bif fat buzz saw square wave was appealing. as for the moog sound. it does funky synth sounds but whether its like a moog is entirelly opinion. i think it has some auto filtering on it but if not then combine it with an auto wah and the fuzz of your choice and you'll be playing bit beastlly techno basslines in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 SYB 3? I think that is what it is called, I have one- It definitely has some weird ass sounds and capabilities, but for fasterr riffs (as in anything not slow) the tracking is off.

JohnnyG Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 i would have thought for faster riffing do whats done with every box that needs to track the origional signal, use the neck Pup and roll back the tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeR Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Embarrisng as it is, I must confess... Last week or so, I was watching Oprah one afternoon. Stevie Wonder was on it, playing his keyboard and singing. On top of his keyboard, he had the Boss Bass synth pedal. I recognised it sratit away by its colour and shape (and its sound) (my brother has one). It sounded good for Stevie's synth, and it sounds pretty cool with guitar as well. There! Ive confessed! I watch Oprah occasionally. Happy now? Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
