Wow!!! Just looking at different demos for the boss harmonist pedal and was blown away with the jam session that came after. That was the best thing I have seen in a long time!! Thank you!
@SkateboardBassguitar The performance footage was from a Roland & Boss in store event at Nevada and then Alex did some more the next day. All filmed by me....:)
man that Alex is a beast!!!! That amp was smoking.. I bought the amp the other the day after i saw the demo..lol now maybe the amp will help me play like him...
I await for the day when they have intelligent pitch shifting/harmonizer that can track exotic scales like harmonic minor hungarian minor etc etc as well as chromatic passing tones for playing over changes and quickly changing scales/keys. That will be the day
@C4B5A6 I figured it out. I run it through a pod x3 and I tried putting it between the pod and my speakers. now it runs smoothly. I had it between the pod and my guitar before... :)
That was a fun jam:) I have to admit when I was taking a look at Harmonizers and came to this video it didn't sound like I expected, but I can see it has its applications, but not apparently in acoustic guitar(?) sunaj
The PS-6 harmonizing, detune and octave effects seem great... the Alien and pitch bending effects are too extreme for my taste. I will most likely buy it. I own the Boss eBand and highly recommend it for the preset backing tracks and COSM Amp Models. It has a few other features like a guitar trainer, tuner, etc...
4:36-6:20... Master the stye of Van Halen much? Pretty sure you are the top Van Halen "impressionist" I've ever heard, never heard anyone else play his style so fluidly and without the slop and inauthenticity that plagues almost all people who try to imitate him. The funniest thing is you didn't play one lick of VH, but the style itself and the masterful execution of it stood up and announced itself. Amazing, you are the best - please demo every pedal that is out there - too many people who make demos have no idea how to play! :)
@SlipknotHeadless It doesn't have Flutter/tremolo function, but has Superbend. Both are however not that important as improvements of DETUNE (chorus) and the overall sound on ps6!
My only criticism of the sound of the pedal is that the harmonized sound doesn't sound that much like a real guitar - with a very synth-like tinge to it. The Eddie dive-bomb type effect is quite impressive and very close to authentic, but something is slightly off. I think a lot of it is the somewhat "fake" sound that is being outputted. I'd really like to know if all the settings you showed could be "toned down" somehow on the pedal itself. I know you could make your own dry/wet mix with additional steps, but I don't think I want this pedal if that artificial synth-ish output sound is simply part of everything it does, or was it something you had turned up a little extra?
That's what I thought, because each part of the harmony is at the same volume and that can't be changed, in the way if each guitar part was recorded seperately can be changed.
Alex is AMAZING - never get tired of hearing him play!
You may not like Boss' sounds, but you have to admit Alex is one of the best demonstrators in the business.
Wow!!! Just looking at different demos for the boss harmonist pedal and was blown away with the jam session that came after. That was the best thing I have seen in a long time!! Thank you!
Me too! Came for the PS-6 demo (mine just arrived today, I am looking to do Big Country sounds with it) - stayed for the jam, bloody excellent.
Excellent tune at 6:00 called Streetlife by Randy Crawford. And I thought I was the only one that wore his guitar up that high!
Maaaaan, what I wouldn’t give to have those effortless chops!! Great demo and incredible playing!!
That first solo was so good
Haha, the shifty sideways glance at 3:02 got me.
This probably the best demo on UA-cam of this pedal :)
Master guitarist playing beautifully as ever. Cool pedal too
@SkateboardBassguitar The performance footage was from a Roland & Boss in store event at Nevada and then Alex did some more the next day. All filmed by me....:)
I think the coolest setting is the one from 2:44 - 3:30!! Very nice...
man that Alex is a beast!!!! That amp was smoking.. I bought the amp the other the day after i saw the demo..lol now maybe the amp will help me play like him...
OMG that's one of the best guitarists I've ever seen based on that jam at the end. Holy cow!
I just ordered this pedal used. My Dt whammy pedal went caput. Can't wait to try it out
phenomenal guitaring
Alex is one of the best for sure!
And this trio is just amazing!
Always a great demo from Alex.
totally freaking awesome playing by all three guys!
GO ALEX!!! great bloke, came to my college last year, really awesome guy, he also likes cheesy chips!!!
I await for the day when they have intelligent pitch shifting/harmonizer that can track exotic scales like harmonic minor hungarian minor etc etc as well as chromatic passing tones for playing over changes and quickly changing scales/keys. That will be the day
How do you like harmonist pedal. Is it useful for exotic scales, Balkan music, ethnic etc.
I bought the Ps-6 just to practise those Brian may-ish harmonies. beautiful
Dude was slaying street life. Shout out from Los Santos.
I'm rarely mesmerized by youtube guitar videos, but you've got me blowwwwn away! I need to get me a ps-6
Wonderful playing....
thankfully a good video of this pedal haha. Great job and great playing!
Great demo, super music. Thank you!
Wonderful stuff...👍🎸
8:44 really nice Tone Bro!
That jam was sick.
great pedal & wonderful take on "Street Life" by Randy Crawford at the end.
Alex .... You Amazing!!!
Love U!!
@C4B5A6 I figured it out. I run it through a pod x3 and I tried putting it between the pod and my speakers. now it runs smoothly. I had it between the pod and my guitar before... :)
Boss pedal is cool and Alex made it much more
thank's a lot for this demo! now i know that i'm gonna buy this pedal tonight :D
Old clip, but that jam on Street Lights was awesome.
oops ...meant "sound like" of course.
Forgot to mention that this guy is great !
I wonder what scale Alex was soloing at 8:50 ? sounds like the riffs were almost chromatic but based on an F min 7 chord...sounded wicked
I have no idea what he's doing but I would like to know too, sounds soo cool !! maybe some melodic minor, or diminished with chromatismes, i dunno
Show de bola rapaziada, parabéns brotheres.
great review!
"Hey, Ladies." happens @ 3:03
😂😂
Beautiful info lesson and also beautiful playing!
What drum kit is that the drummer is using!?
Dm
Jesus! That was amazing!
very nicely done indeed.
I sometimes come back to this video just to hear Alex play 😂
Man, I hear ya on that!! Dude is so SICK!!!
ah thank you! it sound so.. amazing!!
That was a fun jam:)
I have to admit when I was taking a look at Harmonizers and came to this video it didn't sound like I expected,
but I can see it has its applications,
but not apparently in acoustic guitar(?)
sunaj
As our American cousins would say... awesome!
Wonder what electro-acoustic guitar would some like using this?
The PS-6 harmonizing, detune and octave effects seem great... the Alien and pitch bending effects are too extreme for my taste. I will most likely buy it. I own the Boss eBand and highly recommend it for the preset backing tracks and COSM Amp Models. It has a few other features like a guitar trainer, tuner, etc...
Man!....you guys rule!!!...
So impressive
So where was the "Harmonist" during the the jam? I didn't hear it...did you? Just bought one so I have a credible question...
4:36-6:20... Master the stye of Van Halen much? Pretty sure you are the top Van Halen "impressionist" I've ever heard, never heard anyone else play his style so fluidly and without the slop and inauthenticity that plagues almost all people who try to imitate him.

Amazing, you are the best - please demo every pedal that is out there - too many people who make demos have no idea how to play! :)
I need that backingtracack used int he first example that was so pretty
Please make tabs on the example riffs you played. They sound AWESOME!
Fantastic! 👍🏻 Me want one…
Alex is awesome, not creepy at all. This is one big advert for Boss gear, but, its good. I do like the ps6 and for the money is hard to beat.
At 1:18 you say "three-fart harmony". Did nobody else notice that?
@nylonsteel 6:50 is "Streetlife" (Crusaders/Randy Crawford) isn't it?
Really nice demos. One thought is to do a fake 12 string as most need that at some time.
i love this guy!!!!!
What mode is he using at 03:00? It sound beautiful!
I think that it's melodic minor.
It's octave lower and higher
@g1taar It sounds a bit like Still Got The Blues by Gary Moore, but it still is different....
@SlipknotHeadless It doesn't have Flutter/tremolo function, but has Superbend. Both are however not that important as improvements of DETUNE (chorus) and the overall sound on ps6!
Thanks.Raja.
yes......I love it
Awesome man,,,,,,
@NevadaMusicUK Haha, that clarifies everything! :)
Great musician...
Cool, a fusion guy instead of the usual metal heshers.
probably going to get this one, what was the song you played at 2:15 called? i recognize it but cant find it
Found it out through an kind person in reddit, its Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues for anyone wondering
great guitarist!!! oh and of course the pedal is also great xD
what are the effects you're using on your set-up?
@NevadaMusicUK I had noticed that, but I thought that was because boss belonged to roland
Hi Bronn!
Damn, the one at 3:50 makes such a great Leslie type of effect and he barely tries it!
What AMP did he use with the pedals ?
Larry Would be proud
Alex is a monster.
you cover is a very good cover of George Benson live !
When i select a specific key, the harmonizing notes sound out of key :( am i doing something wrong?
My only criticism of the sound of the pedal is that the harmonized sound doesn't sound that much like a real guitar - with a very synth-like tinge to it. The Eddie dive-bomb type effect is quite impressive and very close to authentic, but something is slightly off. I think a lot of it is the somewhat "fake" sound that is being outputted.

@danni3000 what kind of overdrive/distortion do you use? Does it buzz on clean too? What about Detune- does it buzz on it?
The rendition of “Street Life” was awso:e!
6:42 what this song name??
Hammer Official UA-cam Channel street life
I own a HR2 and thought about trading it in for a PS6. I think the ps6 is more newb user friendly, what are your thoughts on this ?? Thanks
does that have any dry sound reducement when harmoniser activated? ps5 has that bad behavior..
I'd get one just for the Brian May harmonies.
At 1:48 what pedal is he using to create that slight delay that sounds so smooth?
Did you figure it out?
Does this pedal work with all of the modes or just the minor pentatonic and major scale?
Great Stuff Alex
how do you get it to play so clean with overdrive on? mine can't handle distortion =/
@NevadaMusicUK
What's song from 2:08 - 2:30 and are there tabs?
i love this s bend
Can the PS-6 do everything the PS-5 can do and more?
where to place the harmonist on pedalboard, Thanks.
The S-Bend is so Satriani.
its clean dude ur good
@SkateboardBassguitar We've got ourselves a genius!
What was the first backing track song called i forgot!!
@gingersteve Thank you, thank you very much :)
