Here’s a vintage, Boss Digital Pitch Shifter / Delay pedal, MADE IN JAPAN (blue Label). It’s a great little pedal…the digital delay sounds very organic and is one of the few digital delays that goes into wild oscillations, to shame any analog one!!!
I’m downsizing so this pedal unfortunately needs to go, but the buyer will certainly be very happy with it!
The Boss PS2 was used by Slowdive so if you’re into shoegaze you’ll like it. It was used on this song – hear the great digital oscillation at the end!
This pedal is capable of a great variety of sounds (for instance, the continued tone that comes out of the TUNE OUT) so if you’re a creative guitarist you’ll find much to love about it! And like any MIJ Boss pedal, this one is collectable, too, and a cool addition to any pedal board.
I’ve own/ed the Boss Dm2, DD3, DSD2, RE20 and I can say that this PS2 sounds very good next to these other great, well-known pedals. it is UNIQUE which is more than can be said of most modern delay pedals…unlike most digital delays, which are clean by definition, there IS an audible degradation of the signal when the repeats are set long enough on the feedback knob.
When feedback is set to the max, it generates an unique, horrible/ beautiful digital hissy oscillation…basically a very particular oscillation that compares well next to any analog one, and not achievable on any digital delay I’ve ever heard. Sweet!

Here’s the blurb:
The PS-2 was the first pitch shifter made by Boss and one of the first pedals with dual boards. It works both as a pitch shifter and a digital delay and it is perhaps surprising that it doesn’t use the same chip as the DD-3 and DSD-3. Pitch shifting is limited to one octave up or down while maximum delay time is 2 seconds.
The PS-2 has a total of 6 different modes
Up to 125 ms delay
Up to 500 ms delay
Up to 2 seconds delay
Set pitch shift manually
+1 octave
-1 octave
