TTTRRRIIIPPPLLEEE play

Managed to put the (BOSS) Harmonist (PS-6) through some tests recently- thanks to brother Jumahat @ Swee Lee for the assistance.

This pedal is essentially a doubler (with options to have a 3rd voicing in use), nothing too different from an octave pedal but the displacements are not always below the active notes. Unlike other similar units which would churn out blurbs of confusion when chords & pinched harmonics are in play, the PS-6 is intelligent enough to recognize such signals & generate the correct displacements accordingly. However, if you are not a distortion person, the PS-6 would be an impractical supplement in your effects line up; clean notes would simply not manifest clarity.

The PS-6 has more dimension/tweaking than the harmonist in Boss mfx, say the GT-8?

got mine last month at swee lee for $247. This pedal does the job very well. :)

it's definitely excellent in its 'job' description :-) however, some of us won't deem it as an essential effect unit to own.

true indeed, especially if u are in a 2 guitar band.
To me guitar harmonies sound better using 2 different guitar / player :)

reminds me of Helloween: Hansen & Weikath harmonies are unforgetable.
