Boss XS-1 Poly Shifter

Little bit disappointed soundwise, after reading good reviews i was expecting it to be better than my Digitech Bass Whammy, but no. You loose your natural sound by pitching down (or up).

It's a creative pedal and although it's primary purpose is pitch shifting and allowing for detuning of the guitar without having to touch the tuners ... I ended up finding it's main purpose for me to be the most lush and awesome chorus I have in my arsenal. The problem is ... I wasn't really looking for a chorus. The detuning feature sounded better in the demos I watched than when I have been using it so this pedal will remain on my board as a modulation pedal.

Downtuned sound is really good. Latency is very low. It can sound like chorus if you set it to detune mode and it sounds great as chorus too. Really happy with it.

So easy to droptune with this. Don’t hear any negative effect on sound quality, sturdy boss quality, nice and compact formfactor. Recommend this one a lot.

Already have few Boss pedals like metalcore, this one helps you to play your guitar like without according it physically and you get a bass as well.
