Different versions of the PS5?

[Rossie]

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but is it just me, or there're different colors/versions?

Studio lighting?

Tried it yet?

 

[Rossie]

That's why I'm not sure lol...

I've got the greenish one, the second picture above is actually mine, but some pictures on the web like music123, bossarea.com, shows the PS-5 in blue?

Hmm.

Sorry if I'm intruding on this thread, but I'm curious as to what the limitations of this pedal are.. I've read some online reviews and what I can gather is that this pedal is more for... single note runs?

Also I read that if you're slightly out of tune the note of the outgoing signal would be whacked?

Pardon me lah.. I'm interested in getting a Thin Lizzy kind of harmony without doing the extra work of overdubbing.

 

[Rossie]

Yup, you'll sound pretty messed up playing multiple notes with the harmonist function. And tuning is an issue too. But overall, I love this pedal, the only problem is true bypass, which sometimes is a big problem because it sucks alot of tone. Can be easily solved by a true bypass looper though.

Go to Swee Lee and try one.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but what does this pedal do?

 

[Rossie]

The main function is to harmonize the notes you play. It can act as a whammy pedal too.

Oh ok, I get it. Thanks, really appreciate it.

this website provides a lot of info regarding boss pedals. do read if you are interested.

anyway with regards to the colour, I think its the lighting. it could also be due to decolouration ( if there is such a word :lol: ) over time. some say the newer DS-1s are in a darker shade of orange as compared to an old MIJ DS-1.

seriously, does colour really matter :lol: ?

 

[Rossie]

I got mine new, and it's very green. The ones pictured in boss area, and music123 are blue-ish. Boss Area doesn't provide any additional info regarding the color of the PS5.

And yes, color doesn't matter, I was just asking whether there're different versions of the PS5.

Hmm, I like the flexibility of being able to choose what intervals to set the pedal to. That's great.
