GFI System are renowned for their digital time-based pedals, most notably the powerful Specular Reverb and Clockwork Delay. The Synesthesia, however, represents GFI System's first foray into the world of modulation.

With a flexible dual-channel design allowing you to use two effects simultaneously in parallel (Mixtures), series (Cascade) or stereo (LR-Split), you can of course use any of the GFI System Synesthesia's 30 algorithms as standalone effects too. Boasting MIDI connectivity, 32 preset slots and other powerful modern features — the GFI System Synesthesia does more than simply embellish your core amp tones!

Key Features

  • Dual-engine, multi-modulation processor in a compact pedal
  • 32 presets
  • 30 algorithms
  • Flexible DSP Routing: Cascade, Mixtures and LR Split
  • Flexible Modes: Preset and Stompbox
  • Flexible Setup: Stereo Output or Pre/Post
  • Multi-Purpose A.C.E jack accepts Aux Switches, Control Voltage (CV) or Expression Pedal
  • MIDI In and MIDI Thru
  • Works with SymmLab software for preset management, library update, firmware update and factory reset
  • Bright LEDs and LCD display

Here's what GFI System says about the Synesthesia Dual Channel Modulation Pedal:

Synesthesia is an advanced, yet user friendly dual-channel multi-modulation engines, capable of running two modulation algorithms simultaneously. Packed with 22 classic and modern algorithms (expandable to 30 with future updates) and 3 different DSP routing schemes Synesthesia offers limitless sonic possibilities.

Synesthesia is not just another modulation pedal. By marrying a powerful dual-engine architecture with rich and deep algorithms, we provide players with immersive and 'colourful' modulation effects experience, hence the name: Synesthesia. Up to 30 on-board algorithms — more will be made accessible via the 'SymmLab' editor.

Category

Modulation Pedals

Modulation changes a signal through a continuously moving control source. This broad category covers effects that alter delay time, phase, pitch, amplitude or filtering to create rotation, movement and evolving texture when no narrower effect family is dominant. Waveform, rate, depth, stereo phase and control routing determine the shape and spatial behaviour of that movement.

Tags

Digital

Converts the signal or control process into numerical data for algorithmic processing. Digital designs can provide precise timing, long memory, complex routing and repeatable presets; sample rate, conversion, internal resolution and latency influence fidelity and response.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
