Boss SY-1000 Maximum Amp

The Maximum Amp Model on the Boss SY-1000 refers to “MAXIMUM”—a highly acclaimed, proprietary flagship amplifier model built into the device’s DSP. Rather than modeling a single historical tube amp (like a Marshall or a Vox), Boss built the MAXIMUM amp model from scratch using their modern AIRD (Augmented Impulse Response Dynamics) technology. What is the "MAXIMUM" Amp Model? The MAXIMUM amp is designed to be the ultimate, modern high-gain guitar tone. Boss engineered it to solve a common problem with traditional high-gain tube amps: loss of note definition, flubby low-end, and harsh high-frequencies when the gain is cranked. The Core Tone: It is a boutique, high-gain channel. It delivers massive saturation, but it features a very wide, modern frequency response that sounds highly polished and "record-ready" right out of the box. The Response: Because it uses AIRD tech, it behaves like a real physical amplifier. It reacts dynamically to your volume knob, your picking strength, and the unique characteristics of whichever guitar you are plugging into the unit.
