Boss PS-6 Harmonist Guitar Effects Pedal

Unlock Advanced Harmonies & Pitch Effects

At Spotts Music Center (“Helping you make music!”) we’re excited to present the Boss PS-6 Harmonist Guitar Effects — a versatile stomp-box that opens up new creative pathways for guitarists seeking rich harmonies, pitch shifts, bold detune textures and expressive bends.

Features

• Four major effect modes in one unit: Harmony, Pitch Shifter, Detune and “S-BEND” (Super Bend).
• Two- or three-voice harmonies with selectable key (Major/Minor) and voicing.
• High-quality pitch shifting capable of adding octaves, thirds, fifths or full three-voice textures.
• Detune mode that subtly (or not so subtly) thickens your tone via three-voice detuning – great for chorus-rich and ambient textures.
• Super Bend mode allows extreme pitch sweeps (up to ±4 octaves) with Rise/Fall controls and optional external expression-pedal control for real-time bending.
• Expression (EXP) jack to connect an external pedal (e.g., BOSS FV-500L/H or Roland EV-5) for hands-free pitch/parameter control.
• True stereo (Output A/MONO + Output B) routing allows you to create wider spatial textures and integrate into modern pedalboards.
• Solid build quality in the trusted BOSS compact-pedal format — road-ready for live and studio use.

Advantages

This pedal gives you a suite of pitch-manipulation tools in one compact unit — meaning fewer pedals, more flexibility, and less complexity on your board. Whether you’re layering tri-voice harmonies under your leads, detuning to add space to rhythm parts, or performing dramatic bends with the Super Bend, the PS-6 delivers.

The ability to select your key for harmonies makes it practical in live band settings — you won’t be stuck guessing voicings or interval relationships. The expression-pedal control puts dynamic, expressive control in your feet so you can shift parameters while playing. Stereo output gives you richness and spatial dimension. And because it’s built by BOSS, you’re getting the trust-worthy build and reliability you need for rehearsal and touring.

Benefits to Your Music

– If you play lead guitar, the three-voice harmony mode can make you sound like multiple guitarists playing simultaneously — giving your solos depth and sophistication.
– On rhythm guitar, the detune or pitch-shifter modes let you beef up your tone, add shimmering doubling effects or creative octave layers.
– For ambient, experimental or solo performance contexts, the Super Bend mode opens entirely new sonic vistas — swooping octaves, dramatic pitch bends and expressive gestures.
– With expression control and stereo outputs, you can integrate the PS-6 into modern rigs — from pedalboards to effects loops — and adapt it live, in-studio or for looping applications.
