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 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 (Major/Minor).

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 if your are in a band and you are only one guitarist and you are looking for some crazy stuff, harmony solos, i wouldn't say this would be a pedal to use all the time in a gig but you could take advantage of his feactures to bring some dynamic to the songs. I recommend it.
