Boss PS6 Harmonist

[@PlasticCyborg]

Hearing the harmonized Boston solo made me smile. Then Pink Floyd came, and I couldn't stop smiling. Nice playing and great demo. ;)

[@JudeG6695]

Pink Floyd's Dogs!!!!! Best fucking solo!!

[@MrMetalManMe]

RATM solo at the end sold this to me.

[@moonside24]

seriously, Andy does the best pedal reviews on the internet. Makes my day too, I watch just to hear him play sometimes.

[@dkitts]

This is probably one of the most useful gear review videos I've ever seen. Thanks!

[@shango02005]

Nice touch with the Floyd riffs! Very underrated album. Love your demos! Always refer to you guys before I make a purchase.

[@shredtilyurdead]

one of the sickest reviews period. You really set the bar Andy!

[@cosmogang]

This doesn't sound bad! Nice job Boss. This will be awesome in 15 years.

[@Dannymusic1999]

Bought this pedal, because of this video. Thanks for all your great demos.

[@95concours]

Piece of mind

[@ZennTempleRiffs]

What an awesome lil pedal! Thanks for reviewing this guys! I'm definitely adding this to my gear :-)

[@MyComradeConnor]

That minor harmony sounds awesome! And also, Killing In The Name... Nice.

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

@libertyfalls - Just to clarify, there are NO John Mayer songs in this video. Thanks for watching! -PGS Crew

[@lcapillon]

The RATM solo is perfectly done. Well done Andy !

[@ChadWorthman]

That power stack tone at the beginning sounds awesome!

[@Winklebott]

Peace of Mind!!! Andy You're my HERO!

[@escaperoute2]

Love that section when you play the solo to Dogs

[@fmradioguy101]

The Dogs solo sounds really nice!

[@AlfredRome]

The Harmonist with the Acoustic simulator = 12 string on a 6 string electric :P

[@TheyreStillOutThere]

Holy crap. that tracks surprisingly well.

[@philzyqotsa]

the rage solo was the bomb !!!

[@jmkokura]

That last demo clip with the Tom Morello convinced me this is as useful or more useful than the Whammy. Until then, I've never seen a pedal that made me want to replace the Whammy. The fact it can do the same kind of 2 octave up bends is pretty amazing. And I agree. Pro Guitar Shop Demos are better than pretty much any others. Thanks guys.

[@edadpops1709]

2:42 You always put the Andy twist to the great tunes. Awsome

[@radomu1]

"You're time is gonna come" was nice

[@bloodySunday77]

Way to go, Boss! Excellent - as long as it doesn't go into chipmunk mode when producing high notes...

[@VioletDeliriums]

this seems like a nice alternative to a digitech whammy pedal especially if you have an expression pedal to control the pitch bends (or maybe even an E-H POG or some other octaver?)...plus it's smaller than both and smaller is better... ps...that happy major harmony pissed me off!

[@nikola44]

I like this demo very much. Andy you are the best man!!!

[@Stryker125]

friggin sweet! and great playing too, loved the morello part

[@cjdavda]

The octave up/down setting sounds POG-like

[@randyrhoadsliveson]

Yet another great looking pedal from Boss.

[@bandclinens]

You know what? I think if I hadn't watched that magnificent tone at 1:22, I could have saved myself $350 on a volume pedal, the harmonist, and a delay. Thank you very much ProGuitarShopDemos, thanks allot. :P

[@teamhex]

One of my favorite floyd songs. Very awesome

[@williamthomaspenn]

Would you put this pedal before a fuzz pedal or after?

[@rtosborne4]

BOSTON!! Well done, Andy!

[@andyje]

This pedal is far supieror to the original HR-2 harmonist, and will be on my pedal board before my next gig!

[@lauriedepaurie]

In front. Octavers and harmonizers track best with the cleanest signal possible. If you put OD-stages in the harmoniser, it will fight with all of the overtones your distorted signal contains. But I'd say, you wouldn't be the first one to creating a signature tone by messing up the order of pedals :P

[@TheMasonator777]

Only if you are using two amps for a dual harmony. If you put a summed dual harmony summed mono into a distortion it turns to mush. You don’t get a clean two part harmony that way, you get the sound of one guitar playing both intervals. Same reason you don’t generally use a digital delay before the amp. Octavers are different because sometimes you want the octaves to run together. You can do anything you like, but it’s incorrect to say Andy “messed up”.

[@Polderviolence]

@gredangeo Depends on the interval, and how you have them mixed. Say both are at 50/50 dry wet blend. Having the first be a fourth up and the sencond an octave. You'd get your original signal+a 4th+an Octave+a 4th one octave up.

[@bigtorquehemi]

looks like a must have.

[@PauloVento]

This looks like a really fun pedal to play with but the harmonies didn't sounded really organic to me.

[@Bilbo_mk1]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Hey man I'm not saying you're wrong, just advising with my setup (using a POD 2.0) the Harmoniser sounded unbelievably bad at the beginning of the signal chain but the sounds were similar to this video if it was put at the end. The distortion created by the POD was basically disorting the harmonies, just a tip for anyone with the same setup, put it at the end definitely!

[@timgittar]

Wow! Boss opened a can of awesome on this one! Gotta make some space on the over-crowded pedal board!!!

[@blackmeinu1]

I wounder how the PS6 harmonist would sound like with the RV-7 stereo reverb on the (reverse) mode.

[@LeeChavezMusic]

Great job on the intro song Andy!

[@jriswise]

Sounds good, the only thing that worries me is the noticeable latency between the dry and the harmony signals.

[@LukaFilipan]

That Killing In The Name solo rendition was the final drop in making me trade my whammy for this. Oh, and cute shoes Andy ;D

[@NathanielHunter]

I want this extremely badly.

[@fendermustang94]

1:40 sold this to me.

[@luitenant22]

hey man great pedal, but what im really cureius about is the diffrence between de BOSS harmonist and the BEHRINGER harmonist. cus thats like 3 times as cheaper. thanks

[@stevemurphy2090]

Please tell me what the settings are that you used for the sample of the "Dogs" solo.

[@hamtheman222]

@ProGuitarShopDemos i found that the harmonizer sounds a million times better in the FX loop rather than in front

[@danielvsh]

man this is like Tom Morello + Brian May in one single pedal!

[@MQRED011]

"Your Time is Gonna Come" off of LZ1.

[@Camerontheawesome]

5:15 this explains sooooo much!!

[@varonB2]

Have to love the DD-7 + PS-6 combination ( 1:38 - 2:18 ). How do you make this kind of sound man?

[@jonohmygosh]

Can you guys get a hold of line 6 products to review cause i don't believe anyone else can review a musical instrument or effect better than Andy.

[@REIDSRAGE]

BOSTON, MORE THAN A FEELING. THATS WHAT THE INTRO SOUDNS LIKE

[@t0dd707]

Dogs! Andy, as always, you are the man!

[@JackTaylor39]

What song at 1:55? It's driving me crazy! I hear Led Zeppelin, but can't place it....

[@mnick0962]

Just got one and am having a blast with it. I can't wait to get in front of a beer-swilling audience of local yayhoos and blow their frickin' minds.

[@pagani43]

3:20-3:56 reminds me of "Silver Morning" on Brian Eno's Apollo album…

[@frickecello]

I am planning to buy a harmonizer pedal precisely to play Boston/Queen leads! Apart from the price tag how does this pedal compare with the US600 from Behringer? I want to use it only as a harmonizer...

[@jordanbazan98]

Peace of mind - Boston ♥

[@VikingWizard]

I'm trying to get the effect that Teppei Teranishi from Thrice uses in the chorus of their song "Image Of The Invisible". I know he uses a Digitech Whammy. But could I get the same effect using this pedal in the S-Bend-mode?

[@ZK707]

Pink Floyd! Andy, you're simply amazing!

[@krajnovic10]

rage against the machine, you're brilliant andy (as always lol)

[@mackiezer032]

i just got one, and im loving it

[@shaggymarchant]

The PS6 sounds great and all, lovely with the delay. Despite that, 4:20 just sounds ridiculous!

[@danukenator123]

@DeadWhiteButterflies BOSS has many amazing pedals...their artist roster is a testament to this.

[@japasetelagoas]

Andy i noticed that u've played that DOGS riff,the guitar is actually doubled(and u probably know that) but im willing to play it on a band,the ps-6 can really make a good ''doubleing'' sound?I liked what i've heard on the video but asked just to be sure.

[@aitoolsdaily]

i wanna see a showdown between this, the pog 2, and the pitchfactor

[@chickenmanstan]

@Calvin0135 It is a swell, because you can hear a difference in tone when he plucks single notes, after chords.

[@MidnightFireBurst]

awwww no Maiden?

[@gredangeo]

What happens if you put 2 harmonist pedals together in same signal chain?

[@1971SuperLead]

@zachatnca, Boston's-Peace Of Mind tune from the 70's of course. The solo begins at around 2:30 into the song. Enjoy!

[@Kyroshi1]

Should've tried to do Satch's Searching, would've been pretty sick.

[@mistad00m]

does this pedal affect tone in a chain, with a tube screamer, or with a fuzz? is it noisy or does it mess with your guitar's tone in a bad way? TRUE BYPASS? love your vids, pro guitar shop!

[@Kaplunco]

Pink Floyd sounded amazing!

[@Fazerr]

hmmm i cat decide if i should get this or the digitech whammy

[@Sebrewer32]

So if you put an expression pedal into this, it would essentially be a Digitech Whammy?

[@livio1396]

should i get this thing if i just want something to play in different tunings... so i dont have to waste time and/or money buying guitars or tuning them all the time?

[@OhThree51]

@ZombinLaden They only sound digital if you ramp up the the sound to an unrealistic height.

[@davidtheguitarman]

finally some boss pedal demos!

[@dskywlkr]

@libertyfalls It's the same chord progression, but far from "In Repair". But it does sound awesome!

[@aektzis91]

wow this thing is so cool!!!

[@hackensaw44]

Wow, I think I need this!!

[@dundeevics]

hey guys ive used the Digitech whammy and i just bought this for £115, theres no comparison this is streets ahead for tracking versatility and ease of use , my tip is write down settings from the online demos and your own experiments, to help ease you into it, after a couple of weeks you'll be using it on every tune you play , im thinking of buying another one its got so many modes, ive got it sounding like a hammond organ on stuff like Black Night and the Charlatons Only One I Know, Buy Buy Buy

[@salchaw]

hey andy ! happy new year ! between this baby and the hr-2 which one do you recommend all i'm interested in is harmony leads that you just played from boston , pink floyd and also thin lizzy uses a lot of leads like that ,as for the octaves i've got the oc-2 the ps-3 the pog-2 all i want is a pedal to harmonize leads is there any other brand out there besides boss. thank you so much for your help because it's becoming an obsession i never thought such a stompbox existed , god bless !

[@55BOZO]

i just bought this pedal and doesn't any thing like the ones on you tube, and i just want it to sound like a brian may type sound, HELP!!

[@justdawy1237]

delay and harmonist=Your Time Is Gonna Come by Led Zeppelin

[@JamesStephanMusic]

@plasticguitar This thing is SO much better than the Digitech whammy for harmonies. The boss pedal automatically gives you harmony notes, whereas the digitech is pretty useless in that category. The Digitech offers more ovtaves for divebombs it seems though. In reality, the whammy features are fun to mess around with for about 20 mins, but are pretty useless for the most part (unless you're trying to do RATM or Audioslave solos in your set)

[@lrodrigu]

Andy is the BOSS!!!!

[@fullmetalfunk]

I want this pedal. I must ahve it. And honestly I want it just for the rise fall vibrato effect. I can do all the other stuff with my whammy.

[@emerald876]

Probably better since it's getting a clean signal to track and harmonize with.

[@VegetativeHorse]

@SkateTS808 It's not the same when you harmonize on your own, especially if you use distortion, in which case the harmonies created by the distorted tone of each string blend with each other. Harmonizers sound more like two separate guitars soloing, which is what people obviously want of pedals like this. Although I prefer the tone of the original whammy with it's unintentional digital artifacts, this would have been a nice rival if it came with a proper expression pedal.

[@kangaroofoot]

I have the PS-6 and the Boss FV-500-H and I’m trying to use the expression pedal to have intelligent shifting, but I can’t get sound out of the expression - only input. Anyone have any pointers?

[@Desmaad]

Excellent rendition of "Dogs" BTW.

[@plasticguitar]

is this comparable to the digitech whammy? cuz this one could save me some bucks

[@gabrielzapata2942]

2:25, Dogs, Fuck yeah

[@andrewt248]

The RATM Tom Morello stuff was spot on.

[@GabyVenaCava]

Peace Of Mind - Boston made me fangirl.
