Hey...I was just watching some of the videos of the new Boss PS-6, and wondering...are there any companies/ILF DIYers that make a digital harmonizer/pitch-shifter that is true-bypass? Or should I just get a TBP-loop and buy the Boss one, if I want this kind of effect?
I seem to recall seeing a company that made a clone of the old Harmonist 2 pedal, but I think the company has sense gone out of business...

There also is for instance a Eventide PitchFactor Harmonizer.. And I guess there are a few other Harmonizers...
You count an EHX POG as a harmonizer? :idk:

I think of the POG more as an octaver..I was thinking like the 'intelligent harmony' kind of thing..like the Boss stuff...

The pitchfactor is totally worth it if you've got the scratch...I was just thinking yesterday how much I miss mine :cry:
(sold it for amp funds)

I've been in the market for one too, and the boss looks like the best bet.

the others are super expensive, but definitely better.

though i do like that it also works as a whammy pedal that sounds a hell of a lot better than the digitech whammy (though the whammy on my multieffect is actually decent, strange.)

i'd go with the boss, despite the kinda confusing controls, because i think you can use the pedal to bring in and out the level of harmony as you please.

haven't played the new ps-6
but the ps-5 cant track at all...
the behringer pitchshifter tracks better, it just sucks tone and falls apart

That's indeed a big pitch army :joy:

I have a PS-2, one day I will buy a PS-3, cause I think stacking those will sound great :thumb:

Very nice :thumb:

Speaking of this...I watched the PGS video for the Time-Bender delay....I didn't know there was a delay with pitch-shifted repeats on the market anymore :drool:
It sounds great..but it's kinda...hefty :erm: And I haz limited pedlul space... :grumpy:
