help with boss harmonist pedal The pedal has no trouble tracking accurately with an octive up and down, but as soon as you try to dial in intervals, the the notes slideand don't jump on the right note. Any suggestions? Thanks |

get a second guitar player to play your harmonies- it opens a world of possibilities in your songs and he can buy you a drink and a burger every now and again. : ) |

This is an interesting problem. Care to provide a bit more symptom information to assist in diagnosis? E.g., is this a function of pickup selected? string? where on the fret-board? your style of bending or finger-vibrato? control settings? The harmonist is a more sophisticated pitch extracting device than a simple octaver, so I'm perplexed by what you describe. |

It happens all over the board, even without bending or finger vibrato. The knobs are wide open. Thanks. |

John, I too had this problem with my Boss Harmonist. It is absolutely useless if you're not playing single notes. The only useful settings that I found were + or - octave, and the 3rd and 5th (creates a chord/triad). I ended up selling mine because I used it so infrequently, but I remember that it often worked better when set to the wrong key--yes, the wrong key! So, try to fool around with the "key" knob; if I remember correctly (it's been about a year since I sold mine)I often got better results when set to the 3rd, 5th, or 6th of the actual key, but I'm not too sure about that. Good luck and take care. Jeff S. |
