Getting one, Greg?
I have one reserved... They are already a few weeks behind on delivering them, but for session work, it seems like a great addition.
I've been spending too much on pedals lately! My whole rig is a Line6 HX Stomp now, with a Peterson tuner, and sometimes a Digitech Drop - and the SY-1, when it shows up! Even using an Expression Pedal instead of a true Volume Pedal...
Exciting gear times. My in-town/fly rig is half a backpack!

I am going with a Fractal Axe III in the studio soon.
Undecided about the SY-1 as the demo for the strings doesn't seem to emulate even a cheap keyboard string sound that well. Maybe it can do a better string sound with some setting changes. The Fractal forums are talking about the SY-1 now and those users seem to agree that it does things not easily replicated on the Axe III which does have some OEM and after market synth blocks and presets.
I'll try out the Axe expression pedal as a replacement for the volume pedal as well. That way it could be programmed to act as an expression pedal e.g. for rotating speaker speeds. |
