hurb, FTW thanks matey. i really like that. would you recommend putting it first in line or at the end, in regard to delay/ pitch side?

I used to have one of these... Pretty sweet pedal, though the price crazy now.

Listen to the latest walkmen album... It's ALL over it.

My shitty demo a while back.

Interesting pedal. I don't think the price is too far off considering the current (in a lot of ways not as cool) version isn't much less.

Nice one, Hurb, I'm almost tempted to buy one again just for the trail-and-oscillation-free delays, great for real glitchy stuff.

Have always been completely disinterested in these sort of pedals, then I watch your video Hurb and I want one. Damn your eyes. Do you know if Behringer have produced an homage to this pedal - isn't the US600 based on the PS5 - is there much difference between them?

i've got the PS-2 one, but it doesn't sound as nice as that. i do like the blend control on the delay though, you can cut out all the dry signal.

PS-3: delay, pitchshifting (wobbly but polyphonic), delayed pitchshifting and detune/chorus

PS-5: pitchshifting (ditto), intelligent harmonising (smooth but glitchy ala Whammy), detune/chorus, trem-arm simulation and other pitch fx, like.

... so none of those clever delays I liked from Hurb's vid. Cheers Doog.

I am aware that that seemed sarcastic, but really, cheers Doog.

Great thread guys, cool demos. I really miss the PS-3, its something special.
I used it extensively with my last band Poem Rocket, if you fancy a listen to it being used in a band situation try this link with Jaggie so prettYe..

I totally forgot about this thread. sorry rob. They work best before dirt. I.e guitar--->pitch---> dirt----->amp
of course delays should be the other way around but with a ps-3 when you turn it on when it's after dirt its weird like there is a dip in the sound when you press it on.
Chances of getting a ps-3 for a decent price is hard to do. the only reason I got one for cheaps is because mine is missing the rubber boss foot switch bit. so I guess people thought it was fucked. but of course it's not.

Love the intro and outro delay'D bits, sound really Dre or something.

Cheers Doog, i used a Dod PDS delay a lot then, recalling loops in different parts of the song to fill the sound out.
I remember one gig, this lad said he was looking for a keyboard onstage for the first 3 songs, he then realised it was the FX making the noise.

Another difference is the PS-3 can have two harmonizing notes at the same time, so you can do one note chords, or have an octave down/octave up, etc

Ah yeah, I remember that now.. been ages since I had an PS-3.
