Boss XS-1 Poly Shifter Polyphonic Pitch Shifter Pedal

The Boss XS-1 Poly Shifter is a compact polyphonic pitch shifter designed for players who need instant retuning without sacrificing tone. Powered by advanced BOSS algorithms, it delivers crystal-clear tracking across chords and single notes, with a range of ±7 semitones and ±3 octaves. The Balance knob lets you blend direct and shifted signals, while the Detune function adds lush doubling effects. Its simple control layout and selectable pedal switch modes make it ideal for live performance, and you can expand control with external footswitches or an expression pedal for dynamic pitch bends. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the XS-1 is the perfect solution for players wanting seamless tuning changes and creative pitch-shifting possibilities.
