A tip for anyone using the PS6 in a traditional way for solo harmonies, etc - Get a headphone amp like the Blackstar or Vox ones and plug that into the stereo out. Running a long aux lead from that to the PA makes for an an easy real stereo harmony that sounds much more realistic than going mono through your own amp and means you don’t need to lug a second amp around. 👍🏻
I want your youtube channel to explode. This is such fantastic content. You and I are a lot alike in that I'm quickly bored with basic pedal functions and always need to try to find the extremes of what any given box is capable of... I blame being 35 years old and Electro-Harmonix pedals for this...
I had to rewind the video multiple times because I got entranced by the trippy editing and forgot what I was listening to, holy shit. Great video, I want a PS-6 now
I love using the S-Bend to start a couple of octaves DOWN with a slow rise. Start with pedal down and play a major chord. It starts as a rumble and rises to resolve to the chord (reminds a little of the THX sound). Killer open to bring in any rock song. Let the chord resolve and start feeding back with the drums starting over the top.
Just stumbled across this channel while researching a pedal. I absolutely love everything I've seen so far. Instant subscribe and I'm sending this to my band mates
I've been going through all your videos from first upload... Ivan, the quality of your perspectives cannot be understated. I'm endlessly grateful for the way you're opening up my eyes to a world of incredible creativity.
Thanks so much! This demo was so much more useful than all the other ones I've seen that just used it on rock solos. Also those comment sections were just full of people saying " this pedal sucks, by this other more expensive one." The sound was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for posting this. I've been using the PS6 for YEARS and always had issues with the S-Bend. i even read the manual (often) and was hitting a brick wall. I see that the the Rise and Fall time are separate that mode. You were getting that wacky Pat Metheny/John Scofield synth thing and I'm excited to be able to get that! Thanks again.
I came here because I saw one on Marketplace and I had no idea what it can do. Now I can't wait for the seller to reply The editing, explanation and humor is fantastic. You've earned a new subscriber, buddy
Yes, it can do an octave above or below. To be honest, I don’t think the octaves sound very good for a lot of the stuff people want to do with octave effects-organ sounds, fake bass, fake 12 string, etc. I love the PS6 but I don’t think it does these as well as the Electro-Harmonix POG for instance. However the sounds are there, so if you’re up for finding glitchier octave sounds then the PS-6 can probably produce something original.
@@CyberattackWorld Fantastic response. Tbh the reason I asked is because I recently acquired Donner's Digital Octave pedal, and I would've hated that I spent money on that pedal when I could've achieved the same results with this one, but apparently that's not the case Anyway, thanks for your help. I'm definitely looking forward to checking on all of your videos
@@CyberattackWorld on my Oceans 12 I set one bank down an Octave. And the other bank Up an Octave. Then I set the expression to reverse them. So I get the two octaves inverting/ reversing on each other as fast or slow as I want. I made a synth too with the "tremolo accelerator" via expression and dry signal. It's nuts.
This is awesome, I’ve never reached the full potential of this pedal, found it hard to incorporate it into anything but these tips will definitely be getting used , awesome video
Man, second time I see this video. I owed you the like. BTW, this video made decide to buy this pedal. Standing by for Black Friday, let's see if I catch a sale. Thank you three thousand for making this video.
Man this is seriously very good! I learned alot from it, I've always wanted this pedal for like Maiden stuff, but it can really do so much more. Cheers brother!
this video was so entertaining and informative, it gave me a feeling of hope and inspiration! I borrowed this pedal from a buddy once, I couldn't believe how good it was. It will definitely be one of my next gear purchases.
I discovered this video and your channel last week while looking for some inspiration on how to use the PS-6 and I've come back and watched the video and specifically the last part with that awesome synth/tremolo song like 38 times. I can't get it out of my head. I think I just need to learn the song and the solo, maybe that will help get it out haha!
Perfect video to showcase it's features, people that thought this pedal is just a whammy/pog pre-drive pitch shifter were disappointed. Maybe if you start a hype around this pedal Boss will come up with a PS-500 with presets, MIDI and stereo I/O.
Super cool idea with the P5 up with chords!! It’s such a cool way to be able to get some of those chord extensions (such as 9 and #11) into a nice, lush sounding chord!!
@@Michael-bl4no couldn’t be happier bro, it’s smaller and (even though might look a bit overwhelming at first) you can dial in exactly what you want from it. Tweaking it is a lot of fun. Prefer it over my whammy dt too
It's both you and Janek Gwizdala (baby elephant sound) who's inspired me to buy this pedal (while already having 2 octave pedals on my board). Mine's arrived yesterday and I'm having a lot of fun and inspiration with it (as well as frustration lol) My noob-tip would be to place it at the bottom of the board so you're not stretching your leg while using s-bend 😂 As always, thanks for the great video!
I think the ps6 sounds better after the distortion because it's copying the signal after it's been distorted vs. before, which would be like playing chords into your distortion. I also think that it's a better sound to work from, and that clean pitch shift usually sounds a little wonky, for better or worse.
That needs to be the only acceptable pic off those two together. Haha. This pedal is the first one I’ve heard in a long time that I’m looking at buying. The Sentimental Bobs Effect Delay Echo pedal is the other.
Putting octave type effects early in the chain due to tracking has long been a stumbling point for me; not only do the buffers adversely effect many clipping types, but they just don't sound great as the dominant, later effect. Fortunately, they've advanced to a stage where this is no longer a thing.The MXR Poly tracks sufficiently no matter what you do to the signal. Combining effects , which shouldn't be all that wild a concept, is def the way to create new sounds with pedals that are often over employed. Even Wah hasn't been fully explored , and slides and volume pedals remain vital tools.
Very informative and inspiring video. I’m mainly looking for a pitch pedal to do 5ths, and I didn’t even realize all the other capabilities. The EHX Pitchfork is the standard these days, but this pedal seems to have more control. I like the way this tracks as opposed to a lot of other pedals.
Just watched this again and avoided bed. Thanks 👍. I like to put impending work off as long as possible. Love ps6. Only bettered by ps5. More vids please 👍🤘😃😎

It’s so good! I laughed super hard throughout the entirety of the video, but I also can’t wait to try out these tips with my PS-6! Hahaha!
The best by far, I mean who else is even trying
I really love this editing style. Great tones too!

Best review / tip video I've ever seen. 20/10 stars, hearts, and moons. Amazing.
thank you for the hearts and moons especially
This video is by far the most useful and informative video on the PS-6. Great job. Thank you.
you poor soul, you probably came for a normal review like i did but instead we got this scizo type content lmao
Maybe THE Best video about an effects pedal or guitar playing I have ever seen...EVER.
Glad you dug it, a lot more coming
This has honestly been the most useful video about the PS-6 I’ve seen since I bought mine 2 years ago. This really changed how I look at its features!

This video convinced me to get the pedal and do all the things it showed me, and here I am 3 months later watching it for the 100th time.

Really loving this series. Also, the three Metal Zone minimum.
thank you for recognizing that it's only a minimum
Super trippy! :-) Actually got more interesting tone combos from that pedal than I imagined. Well done.
thanks doc, PS-6 is an overlooked goldmine

Steve Stevens did a lot of harmonised chords and whammy dive bombs when he played with Billy Idol. An amazing guitarist.
never have i ever come across the coolest RUclips channel like Cyberattack,🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 you are the GOAT
This is awesome, I’ve never reached the full potential of this pedal, found it hard to incorporate it into anything but these tips will definitely be getting used , awesome video
Have fun but remember to be safe
I just for my harmonist thanks to your video. Wow dude, just wow. Your channel is the best
this is the best pedal review i’ve ever seen wow i’m blown away by the amount of effort put into this video tbh
Thanks for checking it out, there’s a lot of other vids just like this on my channel if you want to immerse yourself fully
@@CyberattackWorld subbed 😎
i use the s bend to emulate a pedal steel guitar, set bend interval small maybe one note. try it with a synth pedal as well.
This video is fantastic. I really love your style.
This was my first ever pedal and I just used it as a whammy pedal and a chorus. Gonna try these new settings
Have fun
Great video, I've been using my PS-6 for years but never to such awesome effect. Thanks bruh!
Absolutely the best format of any pedal video I've ever watched. Phenomenal editing!
Still come back to listen to this often
Thanks for the tips! I had mine before my distortion pedals initially, but you're right it sounds SO much better after them!
Wow, superb review. I love the diagrams, dolphins and mortal combat!
Thank you

best pedal video i've ever seen
thanks dude, more coming soon
This video just revived my Harmonist...
and my soul.
Modern hero ! Gigantic brain.
Man this is seriously very good! I learned alot from it, I've always wanted this pedal for like Maiden stuff, but it can really do so much more. Cheers brother!
thank you
If I worked at Boss, I’d put you on retainer.

thanks, i hope you have fun with it. i too am filled with hope and inspiration whenever i think about the Boss PS-6 Harmonist

that's awesome dude. that song is gonna be a track called "Dead Serious" on my next album whenever it comes out
love the colors, too!
i spend a stupid amount of time over-saturating all the colors, so thank you for this
Perfect video to showcase it's features, people that thought this pedal is just a whammy/pog pre-drive pitch shifter were disappointed. Maybe if you start a hype around this pedal Boss will come up with a PS-500 with presets, MIDI and stereo I/O.
yeah this pedal is so much more. would love to see Boss do a mega pitch-shifter like that
This is my new favorite youtube video. Cyberpunk pedal meets 80's wave artwork. Exceptionally!
OMG this is great
My head exploded at the 5:50 mark. Killer!
it's one of my favorite pedal combinations of all time
I'm in love with that guitar. What the fuck is that bro.
thanks, it's a custom guitar I had built for me by Alex Glasser at Iron Horse Instruments in NY
Super cool idea with the P5 up with chords!! It’s such a cool way to be able to get some of those chord extensions (such as 9 and #11) into a nice, lush sounding chord!!
thanks dude glad ya dig it
Ha ha love it - great video!
Bought one of these and immediately tested each of these. Led directly to finding a few completely different ways to use it!
Just got new inspiration in how to use my PS-6.
Thanks.
And btw your videos are awesome!
thank you, enjoy but remember to be safe
I bought this pedal cause of the Friedman demo but you just did the best effect vid I have ever seen!!! BIG THANKS!!!!
thanks, have fun
The only Harmonist demo you need. Immense
This video is fantastic, that’s all I’ve got to say. Thanks bro! Just got this pedal because of you
that's awesome have fun
