Review: Great Synthesizer Sounds for Electric Guitar - This is an excellent pedal to make synthesizer sounds with a normal, non-altered, electric guitar. The range of sounds is amazing. I've only just begun to explore the capabilities. I really appreciate the fact the I can store presets, which is what I intend to do. I find the device easy to use. As befitting Boss devices, it seems to be very well constructed. I purchased the external power supply as well. I found the bypass also will work well. I intend to use this as first in line to my Boss GX-10. When I just want guitar processing, I will hit the bypass on this unit. I've created some patches on the GX-10 for when I want to use synthesizer sounds, that way I can also use effects in GX-10 for synthesizer sounds.
Review: Awesome 80s guitar synth!! - Well, if you know BOSS, they only make the best, practical units. This one packs a punch. If you grew up in the 80s, this pedal can make your guitar do sounds that will take you back to the good old days lol. Honestly, every signature sound is here and the best part is, it only uses a standard guitar cable! Synth sounds were notoriously hard to get out of a guitar without special pickups like the Roland ones, and even then you need the Roland synth. Those units and the modified guitar pickups while a bit more quality, cost tons more, and this delivers a TON with ease of use and affordable price. Not to mention it’s just a bit larger than a standard pedal. The preset patches are great, but you can really dial in and make your own if you sit down and tinker with it. There’s tons of great stuff here, and a great addition to any guitarists arsenal, especially if you do 80s covers or something.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Synth for guitar players
*by R***B on June 21, 2025*

I have been trying to add some synth sounds to my guitar rig for a while now. I've gotten one or two, but too often i feel like i need to take a college course to figure out how to use them, to say nothing of trying to figure out how to add midi pickups to my les paul without damaging it. This thing works for me. It can go right on your pedalboard, in your normal signal chain, and it has plenty of good, basic sounds- organ, bass, strings, brass etc. You can mix it with your guitar signal, split the two signals, or remove the guitar completely. The sounds are good but not spectacular. The instructions are a bit vague but again, it's not that complicated and can be used right out of the box. Works for me- a player who wants to play- not research on YouTube for days trying to get usable sounds.
