Boss PS-6 Harmonist Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Want 3-voice guitar harmony without calling up two of your friends? The Boss PS-6 Harmonist packs intelligent Harmony, Pitch Shifter, Detune, and the all-new Super Bend (S-BEND) modes into a single compact stompbox — four distinct effects that turn one guitar into a creative tool capable of lush multi-voice harmonies, high-quality pitch shifting, thick detuned textures, and extreme pedal-bending effects with up to 4 octaves of pitch sweep. Whether you're harmonizing a lead line in real time or chasing wild, expression-pedal-controlled pitch effects, the PS-6 is a genuinely fun, creatively open-ended addition to any pedalboard — and a definite must-have for the adventurous guitarist.
Product Overview
The PS-6's Harmony mode is the feature most players reach for first — selectable key and voicing settings allow the pedal to generate intelligent 2- or 3-voice harmonies that track your playing in real time, adding harmonized notes above or below what you're actually playing based on the musical key you specify. This transforms a single guitar line into something that sounds like multiple guitarists playing complementary parts simultaneously — useful for solo performers who want a fuller sound, for adding harmony lines to lead passages, or for creating layered textures in recording without overdubbing additional guitar tracks.
Pitch Shifter mode provides high-quality pitch shifting for creating intervals, octave effects, and other pitch-based textures with the clean, accurate tracking that BOSS's pitch-shifting algorithms are known for. Detune mode adds 3-voice detuning — slightly pitch-shifted copies of the input signal that create the thick, chorus-like richness associated with detuning effects, useful for adding width and dimension to a guitar tone without the modulation character of a traditional chorus pedal.
The Super Bend (S-BEND) mode is the PS-6's most dramatic and creatively unusual feature — providing up to 4 octaves of extreme pitch bending that goes far beyond what's physically possible with a guitar's whammy bar or string bending technique. This mode opens up genuinely unconventional sonic territory, from dramatic pitch dive-bombs to surreal, synth-like pitch sweeps that can transform a guitar's voice into something entirely different. Connecting an expression pedal (sold separately) unlocks the PS-6's full creative potential — real-time pitch control via expression pedal allows S-BEND effects, harmony intervals, and pitch shifts to be controlled dynamically during a performance, turning the PS-6 from a set-and-forget effect into a genuinely expressive performance tool. Dual inputs and outputs give the PS-6 flexibility for stereo setups and integration into varied signal chains.

Key Features
Four Effect Modes in One Stompbox
Harmony, Pitch Shifter, Detune, and S-BEND (Super Bend) modes give the PS-6 a remarkably broad creative range — from intelligent multi-voice harmonization to extreme pitch-bending effects — all accessible from a single compact pedal.
Intelligent 2- or 3-Voice Harmony
Selectable key and voicing settings allow the PS-6 to generate harmonized notes that track your playing in real time — transforming a single guitar line into a layered, multi-voice arrangement without additional musicians or overdubs.
High-Quality Pitch Shifting and 3-Voice Detune
Clean, accurate pitch shifting creates intervals and octave effects with BOSS's well-regarded tracking algorithms, while 3-voice detune adds thick, chorus-like richness and width to a guitar tone.
S-BEND — Up to 4 Octaves of Extreme Pitch Bending
The all-new Super Bend mode provides up to 4 octaves of pitch sweep — far beyond what's physically achievable with a whammy bar or string bending — opening up dramatic dive-bombs and surreal, synth-like pitch effects.
Expression Pedal Control
Connecting an optional expression pedal unlocks real-time, dynamic control over harmony intervals, pitch shifts, and S-BEND effects — turning the PS-6 into a genuinely expressive performance tool rather than a static effect.
