Boss PS-6 Harmonist Demo with Alex Hutchings @ PMT

[@JDWindtPlaysGuitar]

You may not like Boss' sounds, but you have to admit Alex is one of the best demonstrators in the business.

[@DuckFarmStudios]

Alex is AMAZING - never get tired of hearing him play!

[@jes2sm]

Wow!!! Just looking at different demos for the boss harmonist pedal and was blown away with the jam session that came after. That was the best thing I have seen in a long time!! Thank you!

[@RobUttley]

Me too! Came for the PS-6 demo (mine just arrived today, I am looking to do Big Country sounds with it) - stayed for the jam, bloody excellent.

[@crusheverything4449]

Maaaaan, what I wouldn’t give to have those effortless chops!! Great demo and incredible playing!!

[@funnyharleyman]

Excellent tune at 6:00 called Streetlife by Randy Crawford. And I thought I was the only one that wore his guitar up that high!

[@CrypTik2]

That first solo was so good

[@nathanhamer8987]

Haha, the shifty sideways glance at 3:02 got me.

[@suta007]

Master guitarist playing beautifully as ever. Cool pedal too

[@Cam_B]

OMG that's one of the best guitarists I've ever seen based on that jam at the end. Holy cow!

[@MrStcarroll29]

I just ordered this pedal used. My Dt whammy pedal went caput. Can't wait to try it out

[@davidwantsahug]

This probably the best demo on KZbin of this pedal :)

[@PMTVUK]

@SkateboardBassguitar The performance footage was from a Roland & Boss in store event at Nevada and then Alex did some more the next day. All filmed by me....:)

[@1snakemanvrod]

man that Alex is a beast!!!! That amp was smoking.. I bought the amp the other the day after i saw the demo..lol now maybe the amp will help me play like him...

[@igorb7426]

Alex is one of the best for sure! And this trio is just amazing!

[@trickyaftershock]

Dude was slaying street life. Shout out from Los Santos.

[@jondawg123]

I think the coolest setting is the one from 2:44 - 3:30!! Very nice...

[@merrittmussorgsky2937]

I await for the day when they have intelligent pitch shifting/harmonizer that can track exotic scales like harmonic minor hungarian minor etc etc as well as chromatic passing tones for playing over changes and quickly changing scales/keys. That will be the day

[@nikazoran2558]

How do you like harmonist pedal. Is it useful for exotic scales, Balkan music, ethnic etc.

[@renzo260]

@g1taar It sounds a bit like Still Got The Blues by Gary Moore, but it still is different....

[@jacktoddy9783]

Always a great demo from Alex.

[@0siris777]

I wonder what scale Alex was soloing at 8:50 ? sounds like the riffs were almost chromatic but based on an F min 7 chord...sounded wicked

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

I have no idea what he's doing but I would like to know too, sounds soo cool !! maybe some melodic minor, or diminished with chromatismes, i dunno

[@Mafr0]

I'm rarely mesmerized by youtube guitar videos, but you've got me blowwwwn away! I need to get me a ps-6

[@ZakEdwardsOfficial]

great pedal & wonderful take on "Street Life" by Randy Crawford at the end.

[@rockinrendell]

totally freaking awesome playing by all three guys!

[@theaustralianhulk]

thankfully a good video of this pedal haha. Great job and great playing!

[@rutz0000001]

phenomenal guitaring

[@BrucieMagik]

GO ALEX!!! great bloke, came to my college last year, really awesome guy, he also likes cheesy chips!!!

[@jakewebber8011]

I need that backingtracack used int he first example that was so pretty

[@flyfifer51]

As our American cousins would say... awesome! Wonder what electro-acoustic guitar would some like using this?

[@sunaJH]

That was a fun jam:) I have to admit when I was taking a look at Harmonizers and came to this video it didn't sound like I expected, but I can see it has its applications, but not apparently in acoustic guitar(?) sunaj

[@christophkropp4238]

Great demo, super music. Thank you!

[@danielvsh]

I bought the Ps-6 just to practise those Brian may-ish harmonies. beautiful

[@danni3000]

@C4B5A6 I figured it out. I run it through a pod x3 and I tried putting it between the pod and my speakers. now it runs smoothly. I had it between the pod and my guitar before... :)

[@Grindgodgrind]

Old clip, but that jam on Street Lights was awesome.

[@Spartavionaz]

Please make tabs on the example riffs you played. They sound AWESOME!

[@DK-mc1yr]

So where was the "Harmonist" during the the jam? I didn't hear it...did you? Just bought one so I have a credible question...

[@C4B5A6]

@SlipknotHeadless It doesn't have Flutter/tremolo function, but has Superbend. Both are however not that important as improvements of DETUNE (chorus) and the overall sound on ps6!

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

Wonderful playing....

[@kingstumble]

@nylonsteel 6:50 is "Streetlife" (Crusaders/Randy Crawford) isn't it?

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

Wonderful stuff...👍🎸

[@Nacgt]

8:44 really nice Tone Bro!

[@KordTaylor]

Really nice demos. One thought is to do a fake 12 string as most need that at some time.

[@ronio25]

The PS-6 harmonizing, detune and octave effects seem great... the Alien and pitch bending effects are too extreme for my taste. I will most likely buy it. I own the Boss eBand and highly recommend it for the preset backing tracks and COSM Amp Models. It has a few other features like a guitar trainer, tuner, etc...

[@SergioAugustoMusic]

@NevadaMusicUK I had noticed that, but I thought that was because boss belonged to roland

[@Detman101]

Beautiful info lesson and also beautiful playing! What drum kit is that the drummer is using!? Dm

[@aulrach]

Boss pedal is cool and Alex made it much more

[@Spaanier]

thank's a lot for this demo! now i know that i'm gonna buy this pedal tonight :D

[@MrHeavyXD]

probably going to get this one, what was the song you played at 2:15 called? i recognize it but cant find it

[@MrHeavyXD]

Found it out through an kind person in reddit, its Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues for anyone wondering

[@danni3000]

Why do I get that buzzy kinda sound when I play harmonies instead of that smooth sound in this vid??? Anyone who can help.

[@gitaarpingelaar]

That jam was sick.

[@LivingLaVidaMurga]

When i select a specific key, the harmonizing notes sound out of key :( am i doing something wrong?

[@flyfifer51]

oops ...meant "sound like" of course. Forgot to mention that this guy is great !

[@DamienDeskPlace]

Can anybody tell me is it poly or mono-phonic. Just want to know is it possible to play chords with it or just one note at the time??? On website i found that it works well with chords but on forum they said it dosn't works good. On YT i can see no chords so it its wondering me what true is.

[@skarnertheband2165]

I did the same setting as yours on demo 1 of yours with a 9v battery connected to my Black Star ht mk2 club 40 with a esp Ltd ec 401 guitar emg active pickups but I’m not getting that clean distorted tone it’s very very ugly muddy what can I do? Please let me know.

[@echo1434]

My only criticism of the sound of the pedal is that the harmonized sound doesn't sound that much like a real guitar - with a very synth-like tinge to it. The Eddie dive-bomb type effect is quite impressive and very close to authentic, but something is slightly off. I think a lot of it is the somewhat "fake" sound that is being outputted. I'd really like to know if all the settings you showed could be "toned down" somehow on the pedal itself. I know you could make your own dry/wet mix with additional steps, but I don't think I want this pedal if that artificial synth-ish output sound is simply part of everything it does, or was it something you had turned up a little extra?

[@michaelmac1798]

That's what I thought, because each part of the harmony is at the same volume and that can't be changed, in the way if each guitar part was recorded seperately can be changed.

[@acemanz]

I just got one of these things used, without directions and a power supply. I have a 9 volt dc power supply that doesn't seem to work. Does it need a special boss power supply?

[@aml1418]

Nah just use a 9v one spot.

[@almariomaminta7383]

Hi! Can anyone please tell me if an expression pedal can be used to change the shift under the major/minor mode of PS-6 while playing the guitar? I would greatly appreciate your answers.

[@domvhscrap]

Can someone tell me how the bypass works in pitch shift and harmony mode? I'm asking this because the bypass in the PS-5 really sucks and cause a momentary gap (or drop) when i activate the pedal. Thanks

[@harrypope2280]

I sometimes come back to this video just to hear Alex play 😂

[@crusheverything4449]

Man, I hear ya on that!! Dude is so SICK!!!

[@kevisauceda]

What mode is he using at 03:00? It sound beautiful!

[@merlynfry]

I think that it's melodic minor.

[@SachinAgarwal17]

It's octave lower and higher

[@pederhultin6665]

At 1:18 you say "three-fart harmony". Did nobody else notice that?

[@korhansoydan]

does that have any dry sound reducement when harmoniser activated? ps5 has that bad behavior..

[@phabi0]

does anyone know why he has two ME25 units on the floor? that's a pretty weird setup

[@dailyguitarvlog1939]

great review!

[@C4B5A6]

@danni3000 what kind of overdrive/distortion do you use? Does it buzz on clean too? What about Detune- does it buzz on it?

[@lesterdmolester]

what are the effects you're using on your set-up?

[@SlipknotHeadless]

Can the PS-6 do everything the PS-5 can do and more?

[@luisguillermosinisterra2985]

How can I get that sweety 3voice sound even with the overdrive activated. I'm connecting the PS-6 between my guitar and the Line 6 Spider Jam combo AMP but it sounds crappy and saturated. Please help me.

[@vincelupone]

put it in the loop.

[@harryliem2419]

just like what vlupone said, put it in the FX Loop... if your amp doesn't have any FX Loop.... then you should buy yourself a Distortion/Overdrive Pedal in front of your amp... and place the PS-6 after that pedals.. The idea is, to put your Harmonizer after the PREAMP (Drive).. In your case, you placed the Harmonizer before the PREAMP.

[@fierro7771]

Luis Guillermo Sinisterra i just bought this pedal. you need 2 seperate amps for this pedal to sound good for harmonies. otherwise it sounds like shit. just figured this out. no effects loop needed

[@franklespaul7150]

where to place the harmonist on pedalboard, Thanks.

[@Danielromeroc]

What was the first backing track song called i forgot!!

[@Spjungen]

how do you get it to play so clean with overdrive on? mine can't handle distortion =/

[@carlosvilanovagomez]

como se llama la cancion que tocan al final de este video....los 3 musicos. ?? as it is called the song playing at the end of this video .... 3 musicians. ??

[@JanoAvila]

+Carlos Gomez Street Life

[@carlosvilanovagomez]

Jano Avila thanks

[@marcgonzalez9823]

Does this pedal work with all of the modes or just the minor pentatonic and major scale?

[@michaelcraig9449]

Cool, a fusion guy instead of the usual metal heshers.

[@JackRosei]

What AMP did he use with the pedals ?

[@bwhitcomb2011]

"Hey, Ladies." happens @ 3:03

[@MXanderT]

😂😂

[@mbrown5494]

........and what about the Power Stack?

[@legends1979]

If you are playing in modes, they are just steps in major or minor, unless you are playing ethnic modes, like middle eastern/eastern european modes.

[@bskkid4eva]

Does anybody know, what the voicings were on the 1st example with the pedal on?

[@ctguy1955]

I own a HR2 and thought about trading it in for a PS6. I think the ps6 is more newb user friendly, what are your thoughts on this ?? Thanks

[@ALFONSOMASTER]

How can I find a drum set like that one. Anyone? Name of it or any kind of info haha

[@nigel900]

Fantastic! 👍🏻 Me want one…

[@emersonfernandes9664]

Show de bola rapaziada, parabéns brotheres.

[@josaguitar]

Alex .... You Amazing!!! Love U!!

[@callumbobharley]

At 1:48 what pedal is he using to create that slight delay that sounds so smooth?

[@BenjiRivs]

Did you figure it out?

[@kawa1329]

Can it be used as a whammy?

[@phenixreturns]

you cover is a very good cover of George Benson live !

[@zapantalambda]

what kind of scaling did he use? jazz??

[@GORE4HORE]

@NevadaMusicUK What's song from 2:08 - 2:30 and are there tabs?

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

very nicely done indeed.

[@echo1434]

4:36-6:20... Master the stye of Van Halen much? Pretty sure you are the top Van Halen "impressionist" I've ever heard, never heard anyone else play his style so fluidly and without the slop and inauthenticity that plagues almost all people who try to imitate him. The funniest thing is you didn't play one lick of VH, but the style itself and the masterful execution of it stood up and announced itself. Amazing, you are the best - please demo every pedal that is out there - too many people who make demos have no idea how to play! :)

[@ハマーちゃん]

6:42 what this song name??

[@lavibuniak]

Hammer Official KZbin Channel street life

[@frooshante]

put the distortion after your pitch shifter

[@rajadharma1032]

What pedal effect makes your guitar sound let's say like a keyboard?

[@martinkrauser4029]

+Raja Dharma Electro Harmonix KEY9. Also take a look at B9 and C9.

[@bigmoneystaystacking]

Wat song was u playing to

[@JordanMottram]

Someone please tell me the song at 3:00

[@mtsn]

I'd get one just for the Brian May harmonies.

[@randyrhoads19902]

Jesus! That was amazing!

[@KareemC]

Actually 1:53 is where it properly starts.

[@spivvo]

The rendition of “Street Life” was awso:e!

[@oscarestrada3626]

Man!....you guys rule!!!...
