works perfectly

yep, same here. brilliant pedal.

not that i can tell. the attack is immediate and the notes bend as soon as you step on the pedal. the ps-6 owners may want to weigh in.

The main problem with the PS-5 is that it's monophonic, so if you ever play chords or double-stops, it's going to warble. The PS-6 handles chords a lot better.

Personally, if I were you, I'd still go with the micro-pog.

I wanna reply to both these threads with Trem Bar/Fingers...

i have both
ps5 and ps6
the ps 6 is alot cleaner
meaning it wont add any of its own gnarliness
if you dont want and if thats what your lookin for
being polyphonic you can throw alot at it
before itgets glitchy
but my playing aint that dynamic
power chords just sound downright evil
i use the ps5 to detune the bass side of the rig
it sounds real nasty octave down with dirt
in a good way
but the ps6 just opens up that nastiness a bit more
and no i dont notice any lag with either

I was checkin the manual... The different modes put out different things 'pendin on the mode... Have you used it with both outs to your dual amps???

Pondering...

Fingers don't bend down and trem bars are gimmicky bullshit that make you go out of tune like crazy, especially for octave drops.

plus the whole point of this is my using a split chain w/ guitar on one thread & guitar turned into bass on the other. but i'm playing chords. hence the octave down needing to handle 'em. like a whammy does. but taking up less space.

mini-whammy.

I'd love to make that... but I don't call those shots.

Which model Whammy are you using?

If you're using a Whammy V in chord mode, a Boss PS6 should be what you want.

If you're using a Whammy V in classic mode, or any prior Whammy, a Boss PS5 will be more of what you want.

i.e. PS6 for pitch perfect, PS5 for a bit of warble.

Not so long ago I tried the Boss MO-2, sounds pretty good, better than the POG in my opinion, I can't recall whether it has stereo possibilities though.

PS-6 or Mooer Pitch Box. Caveat on the Mooer is that the blend amount is not controllable so you have to like it as is or gtfo.

thats what i use it for
its first in my chain
splits signal to guitar and bass amp
normally set on
a)+1 octave-guitar amp
b)-1 octave to bass amp
mix around 50% meaning dry goes to both as well
the ps6 has s.bend instead of t.bar
its so much better
more aggressive nonsense
but for the splitting to a dual rig
definately get the ps6
if your just lookin for pitch effects to mess around ps5 will do
prob is ps6 is still expensive
if you just want to -1oct your bass side cheaply
listen to john and get the mooer pitch box
i should say i had an oc2 for a couple days
as evil as it sounds itraded it for a ps5

side note i just got an expression pedal
holy moly does that add to the fun

heres my board
top row is bass amp
bottom is guitar
obviosly the tuner is first then the ps6 and splits fom that
ps5 in the back is just on the bass amp in detune mode
it also adds a lil bit of delay
i guess thats how detune works on it

i don't know how much money you're willing to spend, but i use a Pitchfactor and a HOG2. i use the octaver on my pitch factor for bass sounds and i think it sounds great. it's monophonic, so i don't know if that would be a problem...but you can get poly phonic low octave sounds from other effects on the pitch factor, as well. the HOG also has two outputs...a dry output, as well as an effect output. that's another option. the bass sounds aren't as fat and full sounding as the octaver on the pitch factor, but it's polyphonic on any setting. also..something to note...i think the octaver setting on the pitch factor is best used for synth bass sounds. you can get cleaner sounds out of it, but the HOG might be best if you're looking for something to emulate an actual electric bass. the pitch factor is great if you want different sonic options, though. the options are more limited on the HOG..you can do a lot of different things with the harmonies and expression functions, as well as the frequency resonance and amplitude envelope function (might be my favorite part of the HOG...even though its a subtle effect..that's how you get the B3 sound)...it still sounds like the HOG on most settings. the Pitchfactor is more versatile.

those are my two suggestions. thats what i use. i also use a micro synth...but it can be glitchy. it definitely doesn't like chords at all...so i didn't even suggest it.
