In harmony

Another new one from the BOSS people; the Harmonist PS-6. This is not to be confused with its previous incarnation, the HR-2 despite being functionally similar. The '6' suffix there indicates how many evolutions the pedal had been through, being named Super-Shifter in one of its incarnations. 

This pedal duplicates your input in a different key so it gives the illusion that there is another spectre player playing along making the overall output thicker & more expansive. This effect is best heard in Jason Becker's Mabel's Fatal Fable. Here's a demo off the manufacturer's YouTube channel:
