The Boss PS-5 is packed with pretty much any pitch shifting effect you might need, including harmonies, wah, and extra vibrato. It's also easy to pitch shift down 1/2 to 1 step if you don't feel like re-tuning your guitar between songs. I find some use for it in nearly every song my band plays, even if it's just for a subtle vibrato kick or a slight harmony to fill out the sound. Be aware that like all pitch shifters it adds a metallic ring when taken above the smallest increments, similar to the opening of My Iron Lung.
This pedal really does it for me. I use the t-arm func. quite a bit, because i play a les paul and dont feel like putting a bigsby on it. the harmonies are awesome on a clean setting, they dont really sound as great over distortion but everything about this pedal is awesome, and it give you something to boost your sound sonically.
I bought the Boss PS-5 Super Shifter Pedal as a simple means to change keys, along with a Boss FV-500 expression pedal. The PS-5 is extremely difficult to read in dim light, and the plethora of controls can cause problems if you haven't memorized the manual. It?s also made out of plastic, rather than the metal housing I'm used to in DigiTech pedals. Boss pedals feel extremely lightweight in comparison. Pitch Shift is great, although unstable at times, so use a compressor. You can set a delay time for Pitch Shift or Harmonizer for spatial effect, and it can even add descants to what you're playing, which rocks! Detune adds depth, and is highly adjustable for just the right sound. Tremolo and Flutter are quite good, and somewhat stable as polyphonic effects; however, a foot has to remain on the PS-5 in order for the other foot to control the expression pedal in real-time. The Pitch Shift and Detune features alone are worth picking this up, and are even better than the DigiTech Whammy!
