Use

Bit tricky, i recommend you want to have at less a plan builded, if you use it on a gig.

PS-6, have 4 knots, Balance, Shift, Fall Time, and Mode.

Balance, controls the blends direct and the effect signal and also works as a rise time while you are in Super Bend mode.

Shift, controls the pitch shift intervals, and also have a functions as voice harmony, that ables you to play as a lick or a song with 2 or more guitars harmonys using only one.

Fall Time, controls the sets of key signature chromatically from C to B.

Mode, controls the phaser shift, a detuner and super bend mode, it also works as scale selector.

For a better understanding of the PS-6, i recommend you read his correspondent manual. http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/PS-6/index.html

Sound Quality

Well i played through a Fender Standard and an Engl(don't remember which one ). I must say i was waiting for well, some plastic kind of sound, but it really impressed me, i use the super bend and it was wiiillld really willd and you might say that a harmonist never replaces a true guitarist, but my friend this little boy gives a realistic sound, it felt like i was giging with other player , really freak me out a bit in the beginning but i truly enjoyed it, all through i only used it for 15 min...

Overall

I had alot of fun with this pedal, i going buy it in x-mas for sure. Its a cool pedal, it may help you in band if you are only one guitarist and you are looking for some crazy stuff, harmony solos and bring some dynamic to the gig . I recommend it.
