Overview

Meet the BOSS PS-6 harmonist, with four intelligent pitch-shift effects and three-voice harmony in one convenient unit. Among the effect modes are Harmony, Pitch Shifter, and Detune, plus the Super Bend for authentic pedal-bending effects and wild three -- and four -- octave pitch sweeps. You can even control pitch with an optional expression pedal. The harmony function is fast and simple to use, and supports a variety of interval patterns. It's easy to create rich, three-voice harmony: choose a major or minor key, and set SHIFT to 3-VOICE that's it! The PS-6 Harmonist is an unbeatable combination of superior sound quality, ease of use, and powerful pitch effects, all under one hood.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

its a pedal that I use for in some songs that require little pockets of nice solos that require good harmony's. its not something thats on all the time,but when you need it at the right places of the song during live gigs its a head turner.

Sound

very good,no tone sucking here! and excellent tracking.

Features

all features are very useful except for that dive bomb tremolo deal,its an Eddy Van Halen without the floyd rose. I don't do that on every song or do that at all don't see any use for it.

Ease of Use

no brainer if you know your basic theory as well as scale modes

Quality

its a Boss of course!

Value
