Demarco has a great demeanor and he really explains quite well what the effects are for and how to use them. He makes it seem very simple. I wish he would make a vid with a whole entire rig together. Gets a bit complicated there.
While his soft speaking may seem a bit odd, can't deny your talent and the fact that his videos are usually far more informative than other guitarist's vids on the tube.
Very informative. Thanks for explaining the knobs in every video. We can all turn them and listen for changes but knowing what parameters they manipulate helps. Thanks for the great Effects series. Rock on!
I agree to diehl's comment. he is the bob ross of guitar pedals. i like johnny demarco. he is an awesome teacher. i have learned a lot from these videos.
I own a PS-5 and love it. It is so versatile and useful. Although i do not use the whammy bar modes i do like the the other modes that I do use. The pedal is very intuitive. Mr DeMarco demo and instruction is spot on. He is a excellent instructor. Very professional. Excellent guitarist.
4:55 fucking died at how he just spent the last minute doing solos with the intense face and then just casually goes "to recap, here's what a pitch shifter is" 😂
!!! Thanks bro just traded my bass for a guitar that came with one these. Your video was very well articulated and made me really want an intelligent shifter as well. I was wondering how some of these metal solos were sounding this way and feeling pretty incompetent. Thanks brother!
Question: can I use a pitchshifter effect so I can play at the fifth fret but sound as if I'm playing much higher at the 12th fret? Single toned sound and transposed notation, not unison or parallel notes.
Hi, Jhonny, I really like your demos, a little thing, where is the best place to set, the picht shifter, in the pedal chain, and the loop pedal, I never used this pedals before. I used a BUDHA WHA, AND MYBOSS EQ, CP-2, BD-2, MD-2, A KATANA, MM4 AND DDL4 LINE 6, AND A XCITER AURAL PEDAL, AND MY NEW RC-2, AND PS, SAME OF THIS DEMO. Thanks, from Costa Rica.
I have a Boss Harmonist PS-6.. I suppose that is the next one after this one you are demonstrating? Is the Harmonist PS-6 also good for playing chords? Which would be better for thickening up a Strat tone?
Can I mute the original pitch when I play so I can hear only the changed notes? And what happens if I'm setting a scale and playing a note that is not from the scale? what note will be added?
+Allen Toler doesn't look like roland monitor these comments.. BOSS and others do have a tremolo pedal. That's the whammy effect you are probably looking for.
+ken masters Yeah. I'm specificity talking about using one of these pedals as one would a Digitech Whammy pedal. You can hook an expression pedal to these pedals and get the same effect.
+Allen Toler I understand your question now. Check out the manual. cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/PS-5_OM2.pdf - it says to use the EV-5 BOSS pedal however there are others that may works as well. I think you also use it in the pitch/harmonizer mode to act as whammy.
hey, does the harmoniser go in the FX loop? cos I just got the ps-6 and tested it out for 5 minutes and on the distortion channel it didnt sound as good as the vid,,,, I need more experimenting time with it....
Does the pitch shifter mode work for Drop C? Cuz I play songs in one tuning and then I have to change my tuning again for another song(like one is in E standard, the next is Drop C or Dropped D), it gets annoying.
i guess not since (IMO) it it uses only on/off button. if there was a potentiometer instead of the button (like in volume/wah pedals) i think it would work the way you'd like it
