Actually if you play with the balance knob and harmony knob that control how much high octaves and low octaves and keys of various harmonies with the blend in guitar you can get this thing to sound kinds like Brain May's 3 part harmonies. You have to fiddle with it for days by your self and write down your settings....there a lot of bad ones and tracking can get loss if you add to much octaves or balance...play with it and experiment. I got at least 4 great harmonies. Example - I have it in F mode for instance and play in the C position on guitar and can get this to play a convincing double lead on one guitar in Bad company's "Cant get enough of your love" ...it will work with things like "the boys are back in town"...etc. Work with it and take your time .Remember the trick is in the first knob and then find the best other settings that holds the harmonies in the best keys you choose. Not all of them will work great but like I said you can get steady 3 note and even two note harmonies to sound convincing enough to get by easy. Listen to alotta Queen for a starting point and try to match some of those harmonies and experiment in the different keys and minor and major positions ...and then write down the settings that sound good to you. Being patience is the trick here. It took me a couple of weeks to get nice things out of it. But it was worth it. P.S. if you haven't got the patience to give this pedal...then it's not gonna work for you.Read full review

The pedal works well and tracks well in harmony mode, clearly based on the same technology as their octaver; however, it's noticeably slower with appreciable lag when playing fast runs. If you bought it for recording that probably doesn't matter, but for live use it might not be acceptable depending on what type of music you play. With my spanish style lead stuff, it actually sounds ab it like a harmony with a slap delay added in places

Nice effect, a bit complicated to fully utilize on stage though. The features are great, but the controls are small and hard to see on a dark stage, I think this would be more user friendly if it were to employ "smart tech" as some other brands are experimenting with, but BOSS is well built and a reliable name. It offers a few more capabilities compared to others and if you don't mind not being able to see it in the dark, I recommend it as it is a relatively inexpensive enhancement to your existing guitar rig..

The harmonizer function didn't do what I had hoped. Sounds good and works fine but really couldn't get it to do what I wanted. Maybe it will work for you. Has a fine sound. However, I found that the detune function provides an excellent sounding chorus/flange. I'm using that and liking it very much. The whammy pedal effect also works very well and is quite usable. Gonna keep the pedal. As with all Boss devices, it has a great sound.

The Boss PS-6 is an interesting pedal because it can function as a pitch shifter and octave pedal, detuner (almost mimicking the shimmer of a chorus effect) and a harmonic pedal with up to 3 voices for your guitar. It takes some getting used to and perhaps some research on the user's part to know how key signatures relate to one's playing. Some features might be suited better with an optional footswitch as with the S-Bend effect or the detune. It is a fun pedal to experiment with when practicing and I would recommend getting an expression pedal to go along with it.
