That last demo clip with the Tom Morello convinced me this is as useful or more useful than the Whammy. Until then, I've never seen a pedal that made me want to replace the Whammy. The fact it can do the same kind of 2 octave up bends is pretty amazing. And I agree. Pro Guitar Shop Demos are better than pretty much any others. Thanks guys.
In front. Octavers and harmonizers track best with the cleanest signal possible. If you put OD-stages in the harmoniser, it will fight with all of the overtones your distorted signal contains. But I'd say, you wouldn't be the first one to creating a signature tone by messing up the order of pedals :P
this seems like a nice alternative to a digitech whammy pedal especially if you have an expression pedal to control the pitch bends (or maybe even an E-H POG or some other octaver?)...plus it's smaller than both and smaller is better... ps...that happy major harmony pissed me off!
You know what? I think if I hadn't watched that magnificent tone at 1:22, I could have saved myself $350 on a volume pedal, the harmonist, and a delay. Thank you very much ProGuitarShopDemos, thanks allot. :P
@gredangeo Depends on the interval, and how you have them mixed. Say both are at 50/50 dry wet blend. Having the first be a fourth up and the sencond an octave. You'd get your original signal+a 4th+an Octave+a 4th one octave up.
hey guys ive used the Digitech whammy and i just bought this for £115, theres no comparison this is streets ahead for tracking versatility and ease of use , my tip is write down settings from the online demos and your own experiments, to help ease you into it, after a couple of weeks you'll be using it on every tune you play , im thinking of buying another one its got so many modes, ive got it sounding like a hammond organ on stuff like Black Night and the Charlatons Only One I Know, Buy Buy Buy
@ProGuitarShopDemos Hey man I'm not saying you're wrong, just advising with my setup (using a POD 2.0) the Harmoniser sounded unbelievably bad at the beginning of the signal chain but the sounds were similar to this video if it was put at the end. The distortion created by the POD was basically disorting the harmonies, just a tip for anyone with the same setup, put it at the end definitely!
Hearing the harmonized Boston solo made me smile. Then Pink Floyd came, and I couldn't stop smiling. Nice playing and great demo. ;)
RATM solo at the end sold this to me.
Pink Floyd's Dogs!!!!! Best fucking solo!!
Piece of mind
seriously, Andy does the best pedal reviews on the internet. Makes my day too, I watch just to hear him play sometimes.
The Dogs solo sounds really nice!
Love that section when you play the solo to Dogs
That power stack tone at the beginning sounds awesome!
This is probably one of the most useful gear review videos I've ever seen. Thanks!
That minor harmony sounds awesome! And also, Killing In The Name... Nice.
This doesn't sound bad! Nice job Boss. This will be awesome in 15 years.
Nice touch with the Floyd riffs! Very underrated album. Love your demos! Always refer to you guys before I make a purchase.
one of the sickest reviews period.
You really set the bar Andy!
Bought this pedal, because of this video. Thanks for all your great demos.
The Harmonist with the Acoustic simulator = 12 string on a 6 string electric :P
Peace of Mind!!! Andy You're my HERO!
the rage solo was the bomb !!!
"You're time is gonna come" was nice
2:42 You always put the Andy twist to the great tunes. Awsome
The RATM solo is perfectly done. Well done Andy !
Way to go, Boss! Excellent - as long as it doesn't go into chipmunk mode when producing high notes...
What an awesome lil pedal! Thanks for reviewing this guys! I'm definitely adding this to my gear :-)

One of my favorite floyd songs. Very awesome
Holy crap. that tracks surprisingly well.
Andy was already my fav demo guy, but playing 'Dogs' just cemented his spot at the head of the table
5:15 this explains sooooo much!!

@libertyfalls - Just to clarify, there are NO John Mayer songs in this video. Thanks for watching!
-PGS Crew
The octave up/down setting sounds POG-like
1:40 sold this to me.
Peace of mind - Boston ♥
man this is like Tom Morello + Brian May in one single pedal!
this seems like a nice alternative to a digitech whammy pedal especially if you have an expression pedal to control the pitch bends (or maybe even an E-H POG or some other octaver?)...plus it's smaller than both and smaller is better...
ps...that happy major harmony pissed me off!
2:25, Dogs, Fuck yeah
Yet another great looking pedal from Boss.
Wow! Boss opened a can of awesome on this one! Gotta make some space on the over-crowded pedal board!!!
You know what? I think if I hadn't watched that magnificent tone at 1:22, I could have saved myself $350 on a volume pedal, the harmonist, and a delay. Thank you very much ProGuitarShopDemos, thanks allot. :P
This pedal is far supieror to the original HR-2 harmonist, and will be on my pedal board before my next gig!
That Killing In The Name solo rendition was the final drop in making me trade my whammy for this. Oh, and cute shoes Andy ;D
I want this extremely badly.
looks like a must have.
3:20-3:56 reminds me of "Silver Morning" on Brian Eno's Apollo album…
"Your Time is Gonna Come" off of LZ1.
Just got one and am having a blast with it. I can't wait to get in front of a beer-swilling audience of local yayhoos and blow their frickin' minds.
BOSTON!! Well done, Andy!
BOSTON, MORE THAN A FEELING. THATS WHAT THE INTRO SOUDNS LIKE

friggin sweet! and great playing too, loved the morello part
Pink Floyd sounded amazing!
Andy is the BOSS!!!!
The PS6 sounds great and all, lovely with the delay. Despite that, 4:20 just sounds ridiculous!
awwww no Maiden?
The RATM Tom Morello stuff was spot on.
Did i hear Stryper? Awesome!
I like this demo very much. Andy you are the best man!!!
Would you put this pedal before a fuzz pedal or after?
Peace Of Mind - Boston made me fangirl.
delay and harmonist=Your Time Is Gonna Come by Led Zeppelin
@DeadWhiteButterflies BOSS has many amazing pedals...their artist roster is a testament to this.
Pink Floyd! Andy, you're simply amazing!
Excellent rendition of "Dogs" BTW.
brian may !!! yeah
Sounds good, the only thing that worries me is the noticeable latency between the dry and the harmony signals.
One of these days and it won't be long, You'll look for me but baby I'll be gone!
Dogs! Andy, as always, you are the man!
fuckin loved the ratm end. such a good surprise
nothin wrong with a little Boston
I don't get why some people think these are just "toys" whereas the Digitech Whammy pedal is high regarded.
Great job on the intro song Andy!
Have to love the DD-7 + PS-6 combination ( 1:38 - 2:18 ). How do you make this kind of sound man?
I wounder how the PS6 harmonist would sound like with the RV-7 stereo reverb on the (reverse) mode.
finally some boss pedal demos!
Please tell me what the settings are that you used for the sample of the "Dogs" solo.
this is a better whammy than the digitech whammy!
i just got one, and im loving it
KILLING IN THE NAME!
Probably better since it's getting a clean signal to track and harmonize with.
Great for pho organ sounds
i wanna see a showdown between this, the pog 2, and the pitchfactor
@ProGuitarShopDemos i found that the harmonizer sounds a million times better in the FX loop rather than in front

lol..been watiing for this pedal since god knows when..now time to find the money for it..!!
this is some holy shit pedal man
I AM GOING TO HAVE THIS...... someday -megusta-
lol tom morello at the end is crazy!
song by Boston. Rock and Roll Band
killing in the name! awesome!
Should've tried to do Satch's Searching, would've been pretty sick.
This is pretty good for a boss pedal, but I'd still get the whammy, it actually has a soul
@zachatnca, Boston's-Peace Of Mind tune from the 70's of course. The solo begins at around 2:30 into the song. Enjoy!

wow this thing is so cool!!!
Whammy aaaall the way dude
awesome BOSS pedal :D
Wow, I think I need this!!
I want this pedal. I must ahve it. And honestly I want it just for the rise fall vibrato effect. I can do all the other stuff with my whammy.
i might by this pedal JUST for the effect at 5:15
Boston and Pink Floyd fuck yeah! Thats music to my ears! Shit you just made my day bro!
this thing sounds better than the whammy :O
