Title: Boss PS-6 Alternatives
Post by: angrykoko on October 16, 2012, 06:21:09 PM
Are there any alternatives to the Boss PS-6 Harmonist?

Been kicking around getting one but would love to check out any competition first.
Just not really finding anything (Digitech Whammy maybe?? cant really tell).

Thanks.
Koko

Mooer Pitch Box (and they have a whammy style effect too).

Oh man, I'm glad I asked... that Behringer is a great price!
Need to see if i can find one around here.

That Mooer one doesn't seem like what I'm looking for, the smart harmonizing is a must.

Yeah, they are cheap..... Be sure to test it before buying, as my experience with Behringers fx pedals is that they usually come with a whole lot of hiss and noise, free of charge......

Yeah, I'd be careful about the Behringers.   I have had good success with the vintage series in the steel enclosures with the 3pdt, but the plastic ones all died pitiful deaths.   If you're really wanting the PS-6, you can usually find them on ebay, or a model or two back.   Boyds guitar warehouse usually has a couple of used ones on hand.
