BOSS SY-1 + EHX Attack Decay = Pedals² Squared

The BOSS SY-1 and the Electro #Harmonix Attack Decay have put aside their differences only to find love and a seriously cool sound.

The polyphonic mode on the EHX Attack Decay turns held strings into short, staccato notes while other pedals like the BOSS OC-3 can continue to produce constant basslines. By feeding the BOSS Sy-1 these shorter notes, a whole new variety of modern biting synth sounds becomes possible even as the original notes are held and your playing style remains uninterrupted.

Here is a selection of some of the amazing sounds I found which hopefully inspire you to make some wicked #EDM, drum and bass or techno sounds. I though Pedals² Squared sounded like the start of nice "idea demo" series... so let me know if you want more!

As usual I am using my #trigguitar to set of drum samples as I play. The Roland TM-2 Trigger Module receives a copy of my signal and so strumming and plucking sets off hihats, while my thumbring sets of the snare and hitting the scratchplate sets off the kick drum through individual piezo triggers wired to a separate stereo jack mounted in the guitar.
