PS-6 Harmonist
The PS-6 marks a return of the Harmonist name to the compact pedal range. The PS-6s features will be familar to
users of the PS-5 but each mode has more settings and a wider spectrum of sounds. The PS-6 has 4 modes - Harmony,
Pitch Shifter, Detune and S-Bend.
Harmony Mode
The Harmony mode will add one or two additional tones to the original and thereby create a harmony. As on the
PS-5, the Harmony mode is only useful for single notes. It is also important that the guitar is
perfectly in tune as a slight tuning inaccuracy will be multiplied in the generated harmonies.
The following harmonies are available: +1oct&-1oct, -4th&-6th, -1oct, -6th, -3rd, 3rd, 5th,
6th, +1oct, 3rd&5th, 3rd&-4th.
Pitch Shifter Mode
In the pitch shifter mode, the PS-6 will change the pitch of the input sound of up to 2 octaves in either
direction. This mode can be used for both chords and single notes. The following pitch shift steps are
available: +7&-5, -24 (2oct), -12 (1oct), -7, -5, 3, 5, 7, 12 (1oct), 24(2oct) ,+12(1oct)&-5.
Detune
The Detune mode adds a sound slightly out of tune with the original sound. This mode can be used for both
chords and single notes. The added sound can be adjusted from 20% under the original sound to 20% over in
5% steps.
S-Bend
The S-Bend (or Super Bend) mode is related to the T.Arm mode found on the PS-5. The bend amount can be
adjusted far outside the range of a guitar's vibrator arm. The range is from -3 octaves to + 4 octaves
with another 4 special band modes.
