This is the successor model to the PS-5, which has been used as a standard pitch shifter model for a long time. The harmony function, which was limited to 2 voices in the previous model, has been enhanced to 3 voices, allowing for rich guitar performances with optimal voicings that match the key of the song. In addition, the use of high-performance DSP dramatically improves processing power. In addition to functions such as pitch shifting using the expression pedal, it also has a new "Super Bend" mode that allows for more aggressive pitch manipulation with easy operation.

High sound quality/Easy to use harmony/pitch shift
A compact effector that uses the latest technology to add pitch shift and harmony to your guitar sound. You can perform a variety of pitch processing with intuitive and easy operation just by controlling the four knobs and pedals. In addition, the use of high-performance DSP dramatically improves processing power. The sound quality during pitch conversion is also greatly improved compared to the previous model. It enables aggressive pitch control that is unique to a dedicated device, which is difficult to achieve with regular guitar multi-effects. Furthermore, even guitars without arms can be easily bent by operating the pedals, giving the sound a richer playing expression. Of course, the effect balance can be adjusted, so it is also possible to create beautiful octave sounds in combination with the direct sound.

Achieving the world's first polyphonic three-voice harmony to create a guitar playing octave with a strong presence
Due to improved processing power, the harmony function has also been enhanced from 2 voices to 3 voices. You can play melodious guitar solos with thick three-tone chords and riffs with a more profound feel. Three-voice harmony allows you to add two voices, such as a 3rd and a 5th, to the actual played direct sound. Not only can you specify the key in 12 steps, but you can also select the major key/minor key, so you can play the optimal chord according to the key. Also, when connected in stereo, different harmonies are added to the left and right sides, giving you a more spacious stereo sound. Even if there is only one guitarist in the band, by adding appropriate harmony with the PS-6, you can add depth to the band's sound and create a more colorful ensemble.

Super bend mode allows pitch shifting of over 2 octaves
Its function as a pitch shifter has also been greatly improved. Equipped with a newly developed Super Bend mode, it is now possible to create a wider range of dynamic pitch shifts than ever before. Pitch shift in Super Bend mode can be set from -3 octaves to +4 octaves. You can also use the pedal to create super high-frequency sounds that liven up your solos, or fat deep bass that exceeds the bass. You can also adjust the ``RISE TIME'', which is the time from when you press the pedal until the effect is fully applied, and the ``FALL TIME'', which is the time it takes to return to the original pitch, allowing for more musical pitch manipulation.

3-voice detune mode adds depth to your guitar sound
Equipped with a detune mode that gives the sound a unique thickness. By adding two voices with slightly shifted pitches, it is possible to bring a unique depth to the guitar sound. You can get a warm sound that is a little different from chorus.

Delicate pitch control is also possible using an expression pedal.
It is possible to connect an expression pedal such as the Roland/EV-5 (sold separately) to the main unit. Since pitch control can be performed more delicately, playing techniques such as slides and glissando can be easily performed with the pedal.

【Control】
BALANCE (RISE TIME): Adjust the output balance between direct sound and effect sound. In S-BEND mode, adjust the time it takes to reach the set pitch (RISE time).
SHIFT: When in HARMONY mode, sets the harmony pitch. In PITCH SHIFTER/DETUNE/S-BEND mode, set the pitch shift amount.
KEY (FALL TIME): Set the key to play in HARMONY mode. In S-BEND mode, adjust the time it takes for the pitch to return from the set pitch to the original pitch (FALL TIME).
MODE: Switch between HARMONY (Major, Minor), PITCH SHIFTER, DETUNE, and S-BEND.
