BOSS' SYB-3 Bass Synthesizer is the first of its kind: a high-quality bass synthesizer in a compact floor pedal design. The SYB-3 can turn any electric bass guitar into a dance, techno, hip-hop, funk or R&B machine-molding a "straight" bass sound into any number of today's popular synth bass sounds. It also works great with standard electric guitars!
11 different modes for various synth bass sounds: Internal Sound Modes (1-7) uses input bass sound as a trigger to control built-in oscillator. Wave Shaping Modes (8,9) processes input bass sound to create synth bass sound. T Wah Modes (10,11) adds auto wah effects to the original bass sound Decay/Sens. knob adjusts decay time of synthesizer sound (Mode 1-7) and sensitivity of direct sound (Mode 8-11) Freq. and Res. knobs control cutoff frequency and resonance Effect and Direct knobs allow for independent level adjustment of synthesizer and direct sounds Two outputs (A and B) individually output synth and direct sounds Hold function sustains synth sound, allowing bassists to play over the "held" sound Also works great with standard electric guitar
