Wow this is one amazing pedal. It's like an octaver + chorus + quick whammy + detuner all in one

this was the best harmonies demos that I have seen

Delicious detune. Always one of my favorite effects and this does a very creditable job.

Thought I was a big Boss pedal guy, but I've never seen this! Sounds amazing and a great review (and playing)! Thank you.

I use the PS6 regularly as a utility pedal for cover band gigs and it covers a lot of ground. Anyone deciding to use one then put it post overdrive or in your loop. It tracks really well and make sure your guitar is in tune! The detune is fantastic as well. One of those pedals that’s great to have on your board for a number of jobs.

Very cool.. I love that Detune.. That dive bomb thing is too fun.. I think I still love the eventide micropitch pedal better, but this would work in a pinch for sure.. Boss stuff just works.. very cool brother.. hope all is well my friend. Tim

Wow, this is so much fun in one pedal!

Very strong Wishbone Ash vibes in the beginning with the clean tone. Such an awesome tool.

😊 now that sounds like so much fun....I could pretend Dave Murray or Adrian Smith are accompanying me on my solo's. 😂

Useful and well done

EXCELLENT...Thanks.

I love the PS & Harmonist Boss family… especially in the amps fx loop or in my w/d/w setup in stereo mode. No robot voicings that way.🤘🎸

I’ve had this pedal for several months now and I had no idea the S bend feature worked that way haha . I have to try it now ! Love the pedal . Very simple and effective . Enjoyed seeing it in action on your channel . 🫵🏼👍🏼!!

I’m hearing Della Brown in those detune cleans and some Rush too - great tones!

I just got this pedal and I really love it. I wonder what the upgrade to it will look like in the future

I love harmonisers (I have the EHX one and a Whammy DT) but what I really dig in this vid is your heavy tone 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

Awesome demo, my next pedal..

I love this pedal. It absolutely nails the stereotypical heavy metal harmony leads when you put it after distortion. The detune mode almost makes a better chorus than most chorus pedals. I havent really fooled around much the S-Bend... but after this maybe i should look into it more.

I got a PS6 a few weeks back for the stereo detune. It really is a nice cheap way to get that sounds. Probably just me, but it is a lot more fun to be in the room hearing it than comes across in a recording. When I have recorded with it, the sound is fine, but it sounds much better coming out of the amps. The room seems to instantly fill with sound.

The PS-6's best things it does, sound-wise, are the -1/+1 octave and the detune. You can output stereo detuned with a few cents high and a few cents low blended with the dry signal and panned hard left and right at the same time for an enormous stereo image. It can do it as -5/+5, -10/+10, and -15/+15 detunes in stereo. For the dirty section you were on the +15/-15, which is the largest detune spread in stereo it does. The 5 cent and 10 cent are way more subtle and great if you just want stereo separation with less of the chorusing effect. I've messed with all of its settings and it has a lot of fun inside, but I keep going back to the two octaves and the stereo detune as staple effects. Also, the pitch detune setting you did with the clean section demo is dry on one side and detuned on the other - which means the detuned side has a slight lag behind so one side sounds 'closer' because of the delay. For the best "clean" stereo spread, the second from the rightmost position on the shift knob is the +5/-5 mode which has no delay bias toward either side and is very glassy and wide.

I bought this pedal after watching your demo. There are countless demos on this pedal but you really showed the best what it can do. I think this pedal is a hidden gem.

I have the PS5 Super Shifter , Boss loved naming pedals “Super”, it’s got most of the same functionality, and tracks pretty well too. I agree, the detune is the most useable feature.. get that Ed VH sound without breaking the bank

I love this pedal so much. It’s a Swiss Army knife of whammy effects to detuning, harmonizing, 12-string, doubling, chording, chorus/phasing, octave and so much more...

I'm glad you covered the PS-6. I just picked up one myself a couple of months ago. Really fun and versatile pedal. I got it for the pitch detune, but I also ended up really enjoying the the S-Bend feature. I'll probably end up getting an external expression pedal for that feature. It works great for those Buckethead whammy effects you hear on tunes like Soothsayer and Datura.

I have this always-on in detune mode after my wah/phaser/preamp going into a mixer. Makes it sound huge in headphones! I keep the balance around 10:30 or 11:00 so it sounds slightly more natural.

I have this pedal, and like it a lot. Kinda fattens up my sound a bit. Thanks for tips!

Whammy style dive bombs sound surprisingly good!

seems like a very useful and fun pedal.

Juicy! Appreciated! I'm not yelling!

Amazing Video brother. sounds great that thing and your playing as always. keep up the great work. that's a great ass killer sounding pedal. I'd also like too say thank you for helping me out when I asked u a little while back how to dial in that killer hi gain John Sykes type tone or Doug Aldrich type sound that was me that asked u that but I got something insanely close to that sound today I dialed in with your tips and suggestions and advice and it blew me away of how fat it sounded dude thanks so much man. I tweaked it To my liking but did the tips you suggested to me. So anyway thanks so much brother.❤😎👍😌🤝🤝🤝🤘🤘🙏🙏

The first clean harmony of the video reminded me of Wishbone Ash. Very, very cool.

sounds good!

Great demo! I just bought one, looking to try and get some Big Country sounds out of it - although I don't think I'll be able to resist trying a few Rage Against The Machine tricks with the S-Bend setting, too.

I really like how the detune work on clean at 7 :00 great multi voice chorus ..........

Effects in this vein make a great case for Boss multi FX units, I have a GX700 and an SE50, whilst I enjoy them, I couldn't warrant a dedicated pedal for what it does. Then there's the midi preset functionality too.

A chorus pedal like Neunaber Inspire on tri mode in front of the ps6 detune with echo and delay is fun too!

Using the detune with another pedal makes it a crazy chorus sound

That stereo widening at 7:50 odd sounds great...

I really like it distorted. Sounds killer! Well some of it.

that detune is fire

Van Hagar setting is Detune with the Shift Knob all the way clockwise (-10 and +10). Adjust Mix to taste.

I use it a few days. Detune mode is sounds so cool!

I just bought a used one of these. Initially for that "Boston" solo sound, but I really like the Whammy effects. Have just bought a Nektar expression pedal to hopefully give a little more control over the Superbend function. Hours of fun awaits, I think!

Detune is killer!!!

Come said the boy! Love that song

Assolutamente fantastico 🤟🏻💪🏻🎸💯👍🏻

You should try the 2nd to last shift setting Clockwise on the Detune mode. It's a little more subtle and a little tighter than the counter clockwise detune 3 voice settings.

That's pretty cool.

There was a Japanese review of this pedal back in the day and it was the craziest pedal demo I've ever seen. If anyone knows where it is I'd love to see it again. I'm sure it had people in mascot costumes and the guy sang into the pedal to get a chipmunk voice.

I've been looking at buying one of these for a while. I've heard that the chorus sound is close to Eddie's Van hager days tone.

Stereo is addictive. I went through a period where I would run two amps through a Radial Tone Bones pedal, could choose one or the other or both together. Man,. it was tough to go back to a mono amp setup after that. But I think I get tired of the saccharine sound that pitch shifters tend to provide. You like it for a while and then you get this aftertase and say, 'Enough!'.

Now we need a PS-6 preset for the Fractal!

Steve Hackett has used one of these for years.

In the the right rank-order of effect pedals connected with stereo & distortion that boss Harmonizer ps-6 sounds nearly like 3 guitars was played at the same time & it possible with standard tuning go whammy up one octave that some Digitech whammy dosen't do & as a guitar player we got everything in small tiny box...

sick pedal. they've come a long way from the harmonist in the ME-50

I can't remember which Harmonist I had, but if I put all the controls straight up to 12 o'clock, it made for a perfect static chorus.

So I was looking to get a H9 so I could get some proper 80's but also didn't feel like dropping that much cash due to other responsibilities, and also saw this in the used pedal section as well for much much less and remembered this video. So long story short you saved me a tone of money and I can still get my 80's spread going on!

Awsome!!!! Thanx Leon!!! I dug one of these out of the closet and tried your last setting in this video… WINNING!!! 🤓👍🏼 lol

Quite court jester there in parts, "hello, your kingship, I have news from afar - plays boss harmony line - dost though want to harken??"

Sounds amazing in stereo. Does it hold up in mono?

My favorite pedal I have

It's amazing how far Boss have come since the PS-2 which I owned & has a killer Delay. My bandmate has this one. Its great but the only downside for me personally is it doesn't do 4ths.

What kind of pickups are in the PRS, sound great

You have to do Satriani's "Why" with that pedal, it's a requirement

The harmony functions (on any pedal) never sound that pleasant or convincing when I try them. It really is more of an effect than a realistic doubler. Now, the pitch detune and the pseudo whammy mode are awesome. It's a great way to do whammy stuff on the cheap. Where's your Tom Morello video? :P

Really cool. Sounds like a bard playing in the streets of medieval times. Lol. Nice Leon!!!

Detune sounds glorious on dirt channel, through the front of the amp or fx loop?

I wonder which one is better, this pedal or tc electronic quintessence?

I have the HR-2 one!

That is pretty harmonically distorted sounds you had goin on matey. Reminded me of something like an Indian wardance trance...lupin musta liked those two chime whines. First time I've ever heard that..felt it like choked my ears , funny to imagine how lupin imagined that..where is our little lupie lupin.. 😺, keep thinkin he'll show up for the show and harmonize with you.

Where would this pedal be placed in the signal chain? Thanks

'Let's hear it with some distortion now'. Yes, let's...

Does it have some latency (like the Behringer Uh300)?

Quick Leon! Play the opening riff of Territories by Rush! 😀

I have the precursor PS5, still a great pedal.

Great pedal.... does some cool things... only really gets used for metallica harmonies in my set up.. Orion, moth into flame, master of puppets etc....the detune sounds mint... was waiting for a tom morello whammy solo tho 😜😅

Amazing. Leon, what amp are you usig? The fractal? It sounds killer

in the pitch detune mode sounds like it has a compressor?

Where's it in the pedal chain,?

In front of amp or in the loop?

Nice

Top!

this is instant Thin Lizzy or Iron Maiden for a single guitar home player like me! Only problem is I don't know what key the songs I'm playing are in so I just twist the knob till it sounds right!

It's the best chorus on the market

I just got a brand new PS-6. Im not sure why, but the LATENCY/LAG is almost unplayable… I’ve tried the pedal by itself, guitar into pedal into amp, and the lag was extreme. Any ideas ?

Man i have this amp but no idea how to use it to get those iron maiden or metallica melodies

Where is the right position of Harmonist on the pedalboard ? I’d like to use with distortion using to create the maiden sound

Sounds like some Wishbone Ash-ish riffs at the beginning!!!

What amplifier are you running this through ?

Great Versatile Pedal, I regret selling it. I might buy it again.For the Rack Unit Guys, I use a PCM80 For Pitch. The Preset Split Pitch? You can edit the % in S.4 edit mode.

6:32 i see you threw in Come Said The Boy

What distortion pedal are you using?

s bend is kinda cool for those who hate a floyd could be a great solution

I feel obligated to tell you that my dumbass had mine plugged into the output b leading into a single amp so like half the settings weren't changing the tone output at all... so thanks for the video lol.

Oh, matey, missed a golden opportunity to launch it Jethro Tull's "To Cry You a Song" with that diatonic thing you had going. That would've been epic...I suggest you correct that rookie error✌

can you use this 4 the song why by joe satriani ?

Never thought I'd hear Mondo Rock & Iron Maiden like Harmony riffs on the same episode. 😂❤🇦🇺🤘

I think mick mars used something like this to get his live tone

my go to. way better than using a chorus. though it sounds pretty close to the same.

3:30 Sabbath tone
