Boss XS-1 Poly Shifter

Boss's first dedicated compact pitch-shifter, and it's a serious one. The XS-1 does polyphonic pitch shifting that tracks full chords, arpeggios, and fast lines cleanly, no glitching or smearing, thanks to a new Boss algorithm with 24-bit AD conversion and their Adaptive Focus processing. You get a wide range, up to 3 octaves up or down (plus or minus 7 semitones), so it covers instant drop tunings, octave textures, capo-style shifts up, and faux-bass drops down, all without switching guitars. There's also a Detune mode for subtle doubling and chorus-like width.

Simple, stage-ready controls: Balance for wet/dry blend, Shift for interval, plus pedal-mode (latching or momentary) and shift-direction switches. A CTL/EXP jack adds an external footswitch or expression pedal for real-time pitch bends. All in the rugged standard Boss compact chassis.

Bonus: it comes with a custom 3D-printed bottom plate with Velcro already attached for easy, secure pedalboard mounting. The original Boss bottom plate is included in the box if you'd rather run it stock.

Cosmetic notes: Excellent condition.
Includes: Original box, original bottom plate, and a custom 3D-printed Velcro-ready bottom plate.
