I made this some weeks back but didn't feel like posting it at the time for obvious reasons. Don't know if any of youse have seen it yet, so I thought I'd post.

Yes, that was entirely PS3. It does delay, detune (the chorusy thing), pitch shifting, delayed pitch shifting, and alot more. Basically for the demo I cycled through each of the 11 settings and tried to play something usable for them. Because I didn't want the demo to be 10 minutes long I just left the mix control in the center of dry/wet, but it's possible to get a much more convincing Iron Lung sound with the effect mix all the way up

The PS-3 is pretty damn cool- I considered buying one again for the delay and odder noises, but the pitchshifting is just too wibblywobbly for me to make it worthwhile.

Some of the modes are better than others in that regard, although I know what you're getting at, the variables aren't as precise as a PS-5, especially on the lower notes. However it makes up for its short comings in stunning polyphony. I brought it to work and played a breedlove 12 string acoustic through it, with one pitch an octave up and one an octave down and it sounded amazing. If I was still a huge pedal nut I would probably buy another one to leave on different settings.

Oh yeah, it can do 2 pitches at the same time too, can't it?

I liked the fact you could pick any note chromatically up to the first octave down or up- the PS-5 only does like 1, 2, 5 and 7 semitones in Pitchshift mode.
