Boss: SY 300

Many guitar dweebs out there would very much like to explore the synth territory but we would be bogged down by the fact that a synth pickup is required. Not any more. Boss' SY 300 (Musikmesse 2015 debut) provides a direct, 1/4" plug in & promises ZERO latency issues. I'm not usually one who gets turned on by such an entity but it should be worth checking out.
