The PS-5 is one whose CHARACTERISTICS numrique pedals are well trs Submitted on the manufacturer's website: http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/PS -5 / ( http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/PS-5/ )

Level connections, there are two inputs (guitar + pedals expression) and outputs Stros.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the pedals is very simple, mainly thanks to the double knob left. If we know something to the ranges, fifths, etc. has to be simple. It is not my case, but I like a tamper so I do not and drang is fairly intuitive to find rglages "that sound".

For the manual, I'll have me diving for mode Tremolo Arm (Dive Bomber, etc.) when there is a branch of expression pedals must both maintain the Boss pedals down e and pedals to play with XP. There is therefore need both feet, and it is clear that the problem is standing ds, (I'll see if we can change this in the manual and post it here if I find the solution

To this concern, I put 6 at the moment, because the function of pedals XP is not usable for me live, or too dicey say ...

SOUND QUALITY

The harmonies, octaves have a good record, although a peroit pti raction trs short time, but few Gnant. One can for example replicate arpge intro of My Iron Lung Radiohead Manir enough of authentic

The Detune can get quite cold chorus (numrique), but in the style they are quite effective. I have a chorus Danelectro Coolcat to compare and they are quite complmentaires finally ... the Danelectro friendly enough, the other more "mtallique" ...

The Tremolo Arm and Flutter are quite DLIR, but the concern is that the ds knob is calculated on any of these effects, even without turning the pedals, there is a micro dcalage between what is playing and hearing. Probably the buffer used to modulate the sound. It's pretty Drang, especially if you do not want to use the effect of an instant prcis song, play all the rest should be fairly lightweight DCAL pnible. It would probably put it in a loop by a box with A / B. ..

Other than that, it fulfills its rle its level for those who love this type of effect ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently, but quite intensively every time. If you like tampering, it's pretty exciting. What I like most is versatile in a "small" pedals and the quality of the sounds produced.
The only BMOL the latency observed the use and the fact that one must maintain the pedals pushed to use the expression pedals (unusable when standing), but I will see the manual or forums for the latter and will post a walkthrough if found.

The ratio quality price is not good because the pedals trs Submitted consquents the default user for a live situation against a WH-4 at the same price and int grant it, the expression pedals.

In conclusion, the PS-5 is for use studio / apartment ', but few exploitable live with pedals prior to XP. Should I try the WH-4 to see ...
