Follows description from Equipboard:

The Boss PS-2 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay is a vintage compact pedal that combines both digital pitch shifting and delay effects, known for its distinct, lo-fi digital sound from the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is prized by musicians for creating unique textures, harmonies, and experimental soundscapes. 

Key Features and Controls

The PS-2 offers dual functionality with six distinct modes selected via the MODE knob: 

• Delay Modes: Three modes provide different maximum delay times, adjustable via the FINE/MANUAL knob:
• • 125ms (milliseconds)
  • 500ms
  • 2s (seconds)
    These modes are noted for their unique, high-pass filter delay repeats that become progressively brighter.
• Pitch Shifting Modes: Three modes allow for pitch manipulation:
• • Manual: The pitch shift amount (within one octave up or down) is continuously adjusted using the FINE/MANUAL knob. Turning the knob during use can produce "far out" cascading, detuned effects.
  • +1 Octave: Shifts the pitch one octave up.
  • -1 Octave: Shifts the pitch one octave down. 

Additional controls include:

• Balance Knob: Adjusts the volume mix between the direct (unaffected) and the effect (wet) sounds.
• Feedback Knob: In Delay modes, this controls the number of repeats, from a single delay to controlled oscillation. In Pitch Shift modes, it can create "other-worldly noises" and unique oscillation effects.
• Tuner Output Jack: An external tuner (like a Boss TU-12) can be connected to this jack to help fine-tune the pitch interval in Manual mode. 
  

Sonic Character

• The PS-2 is a sought-after vintage pedal, valued for its "quirky, musical character" and lo-fi digital degradation of repeats, which differs from cleaner modern pitch shifters and delay pedals. It can create a wide range of sounds, from subtle detuned textures and chorus-like effects to wild, experimental pitch bends, making it popular in genres like shoegaze and post-rock.
