BOSSPS-6 Harmonist Pitch Shifter Guitar Effects Pedal
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
BOSS's polyphonic-capable pitch shifter with harmony, detune and pitch-bend modes in one compact pedal. For guitarists who want harmonized leads without a second player.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding third or fifth harmony lines to lead guitar parts
- Detune thickening for rhythm parts that sound thin alone
- Whammy-style pitch dives without a separate expression pedal
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting subtle chorus — detune here is a narrower effect
- Anyone needing octave-down bass tracking on complex chords
- Boards where a set-and-forget single-mode pedal is enough
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Pitch shifter mode
Fixed-interval transposition regardless of key. Useful for octaves and drop tunings on the fly.
Detail 03
Detune mode
Slight pitch offset against the dry signal. Thickens single tracks without the movement of a chorus.
Detail 04
Compact BOSS enclosure, 2.87 x 2.32 x 5.08 inches
Standard BOSS footprint, so it drops into pedalboard layouts already planned around BOSS compacts.
Detail 05
Expression pedal input
Lets you sweep the pitch by foot for dive-bomb and bend effects instead of using a fixed setting.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No power supply included — needs 9V battery or a 9V center-negative adapter
- 02Pitch tracking is cleanest on single notes; chords can waver
- 03Harmony mode needs the correct key set or intervals land wrong
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use it for drop tuning?
Yes. Pitch shifter mode transposes by a fixed interval, so you can drop a whole step or more without retuning the guitar.
02Does it work on chords?
Single notes track most accurately. Chords will work but expect some artifacts, especially at wider intervals.
03Do I need an expression pedal?
No. The pedal works fully on its own. An expression pedal only adds foot-controlled pitch sweeps.
04Does it come with a power adapter?
No. Plan on a 9V center-negative supply or run it on a battery.
