Boss XS-1 & XS-100 Poly Shift Pedals

[Woodinblack]

Well mine turned up today, and it is certainly the best pitch shift pedal I have used but obviously not perfect. It is really good from just above low E, but my use case is doing Drop D and lowering it down to either drop B or drop C. The D has a slight delay, where it starts a little higher and comes down - its really subtle but you can tell the difference between playing a real B and a D dropped to a B, because of this initial drop. Maybe it is the bass I am using, I will try another one later, that one has a little knackered string.

Actually i have a practice tomorrow with the group that I do the drop B/C songs with, so I will see how it goes then

Used it tonight in anger, and the warble is not so much of an issue in a band setting. But I used it on battery, and it cut out after about 2 hours!

Remember, don't use it on battery! In contrast the ME-90B runs on 4AA batteries for days.
