PS-5: Super Shifter

Features

The BOSS PS-5 Super Shifter is a next-generation intelligent pitch shifting pedal with killer sounds and BOSS first features. This single box provides pitch shifting, harmonies, detuning, and wild tremolo arm/flutter effects--all with simple, knob-based control.

  • Compact pedal with high-quality pitch shifting, Harmonist and tremolo arm effects
  • Intelligent, key-specific pitch shifting of single notes using simple Pitch and Key knobs with scale display
  • Key Shift outputs continuous shifted tone for playing in different keys
  • Detune effect provides slight shifting for "fattening" a guitar sound
  • Tremolo Arm effect bends single notes up or down to a pre-selected value when pedal is activated; optional expression pedal can be connected for realtime control
  • Flutter effect simulates fast or slow "slap" or "slam" of tremolo bar when pedal is depressed
  • BOSS 5-year warranty
