BOSS Harmonist Guitar Pedal (PS-6), Blue

Just for context, I'm playing on humbuckers, into a Orange combo amp. To be honest, I pretty much bought this pedal for the s-bend effect, and I've been pleasantly surprised to find that that part of it is what I tend to use the least, as the rest of the effects offered are actually quite musical (maybe besides the chorus or "detuned" effect which is just meh). The pitch shifter effect is actually incredible sounding, and with the ability to choose up to three voices, allows for some really cool stuff to happen to any simple riff you may have. It's nice when you go from three voices above to three voices below, and realize that what you are playing can practically act as two entirely different sounding songs. That being said, the s-best feature is crazy awesome, and definitely worth the price on its own. Yes, it can produce some funny stuff, but when you've dialed in a nice pitch shift with some overdrive going, it's like nothing else.

Great little pedal for adding a bunch of selectable harmonies to a single note. I play the sax, so having the freedom of selecting the key you're in is great. It does an amazing job of harmonizing. The down side is that it's on the floor. This means to change keys you'll be bending down on a dark stage with a sax (maybe a guitar) hanging off your neck. I tried setting it on a stool where I could more easily reach the knobs, but then there was the problem of cancelling it with my foot I've taken to setting it to the key of some song at the beginning of a set and using it then. Between sets I change the key if I need to, but between songs there's just no graceful way to get at it I like the pedal simply for the harmonies and won't return it. I haven't found any use for the s-bend or other affects, but that's not saying you won't. It's probably a guitar thing. Just be forewarned, it's execution is favorable but the design really fails. UPDATE: I found a piece of plastic tuning that fit snuggly over the "key selection knob" and cut off a piece that brought the ability to turn the knob and change the key up to where I can change the key without bending over. I leave the harmony knob on a third.

Good sound and versatility, all in a compact package!

Excelente producto y excelente vendedor

Amazing! My husband is using it for his trumpet and sounds amazing! Very versatile!

I only used it for a month and the toggle button no longer toggles. I have to hold it down with my foot to engage the pedal. Can't believe that such a simple thing is causing the entire pedal tool not work properly

This is a very good product, I would hightly recomend This product to any mucisian from an entry level up to a profesional artist, the key Of this product lies on where you use it within your fxs chain, since this is a time bases effect it should go on the fxs loop Of your amp (if your amp has one) right before the delay and reverb, ir if you have no fxs loop And your using a clean amp it should go after your distorsion pedals beca use it works better after the overdriven signal. Regarding the product it self, the sound quality (again it depents on where you place it on the chain) it's very good, it has a great tone, tracking its very accurate and it almost sounds like another guitar in the harmony mode, I play metalcore And alternative most Of the time And it suits just fine for what I do, the sbend mode it's fantastic for divebombs (my main aplication) And the detune option it's fine for a chourus effect that I use from time to time, the pitch shifter I dont use it at all but it's just fine. Very important always keep tuned your guitar And play accuratly within the key you are in, so the device can perform as good as it does. The reason I give 4 Of 5 it's because boss should include an indication Of the best usage scenarios with different amps ,loops and effects chains, because at the begining when I conected in front Of the amp it sounded crappy And I bet it happens to a lot Of people That end up returning the product without knowing that there's an fxs placement order that needs to be followed with certain logic built on it. To conclude I would definitely buy This product again!!

I love this pedal!!!

J'ai acheté/testé pas mal de pédales d'harmonie, dont la première Harmonist (BOSS HR2). Cette PS6 est vraiment bonne. Elle sonne plus froid que la TC Quintessence mais le tracking est meilleur. Je l'utilise principalement en mode "tierce supérieure + quarte inférieure". Grâce à la sortie stéréo j'ai l'impression d'entendre Friedman et Becker.

ええぞー ギターリストは持っておきましょう

It's a clever harmonizer that can do so much. The tracking is perfect and it can do many other effects like whammy and chorus. Anyone considering it should watch a few you've videos on it first because there's too much to explain. I bought this pedal and the new version came out like two days later which is fully polyphonic. This version has more built in options and seems to be almost a totally different product because the modern version is simplified but polyphonic . If you don't mind the monophonic limitations this pedal can do so amazing stuff.

This is fantastic i used it for vocals and guitar, i am very happy

Como Whammy está excelente, para crear harmonías con el modo menor o mayor también está excelente, como harmonizador por quintas u octavas arriba no funciona excelente, pero con octavas hacía abajo funciona excelente, el modo detune es muy útil al usarlo stereo.
