This is probably a dumb question but I am new to the guitar (about a year in to my learnings with a teacher).

I have some pedals but I want to branch out into getting a synth as well to experiment with the sound.

Does there exist a device that I can plug in to my pedal chain so I can drive it with my guitar AND play it on it’s own to create sounds? Also hoping synths have a drum machine because I would like to play with a beat.

I know pedal synths exist but that isn’t really what I am looking for, want a synth on its own that I could also use with the guitar but not only with the guitar if that makes sense.

Am I thinking about this wrong? Does this mythical device exist? If not anyone have some relatively entry level devices I can look at?

    Go try out the free trial version of the neural dsp Rabea. Its primarily an amp and pedal sim but the gimmick of that particular one is that theres a synth side of it. You can blend the amp and synth signal or just use either. Lots of fun

      I’m kind of thinking that a sampler is what I really want. Pretty sure I can still do that in software, but sampling what comes out of my pedals and then use the software to play with that sound.
