The Boss PS6 through the decades

The Boss PS6 Harmonist was released in 2010, so it probably wasn't used in the recording of these songs in the demo. The songs are just examples of what you an do with the 4 different modes of this pedal: pitch shifter, harmony, detune and super bend. Some settings have 1 voice, others 2 voices besides your dry tone.

Pitch shifter (polyphonic): shifts your signal up or down up to 2 octaves, but it doesn't do all the intervals, just some of the steps in between.

Harmony (monophonic): also shifts your signal to a note in the scale you set this pedal in, ranging between an octave up and an octave down.

Detune (polyphonic): also shifts the pitch, but by a small percentage, up to 20 cents of a semitone, to create a chorus-like effect.

Super Bend (mono/polyphonic): create dive bombs and other whammy sounds up to 4 octaves above or 3 octaves below your original note. This is the only mode where the footswitch is momentary, so it's only shifting your pitch when you press it.
