Slow Attack/Synth Wave Generator
Keeley Electronics - 'Synth-1'

Synthesizer Effects Pedal
for Electric Guitar/BassDo you ever just wish one of your pedals had that little extra in it? Something to really scratch that ‘experimental’ itch? Well, here it is, Keeley’s ‘Synth-1’ synth wave generator. Utilise the responsive ‘Filter’ to dial in your desired synth sound, then dial in how much of your dry guitar signal you’d like via the ‘Blend’ control, and fly away on some truly wild vibes and sounds!
The ‘Synth-1’s ‘Attack’ control boasts sounds all the way from full on synth assaults, right through epic, other-worldly volume swells. If all of this still hasn’t whetted your appetite enough, try hitting the ‘Chaos’ switch to, in the words of Mr Robert Keeley himself, “change dimensional triggering and octaves and stuff.” With a choice of 3 waveforms to select from, you’ll have no troubles finding those head-turning sounds you’re looking for!

Fuzzed-out Synth Waves!

connect an expression pedal!Keeley’s ‘Synth-1’ enables you to create some seriously fuzzed-out synth waves! Use the Filter and Blend knobs to blend your guitar with the fuzz from the synth. Experience churning slow-gear reverse swells to sounding like a light saber!
The ‘Synth-1’ is a guitar-triggered, single-note wave generator. You control the tone of the wave with the Filter Control, the lead-in time or swell of the note is controlled with the Attack knob. Then, use the Blend control to remove the natural tone from your guitar as you slide through synth-sounding fuzz waves. Use an expression pedal to control the Filter, and now you have Wah-Wah-like control of the Synth-1.
