BOSS XS-1 Poly Shifter
BOSS XS-1 Polyshifter Pedal
The BOSS XS-1 Polyshifter is a powerful, easy-to-use pitch shifting pedal that opens up a whole new range of sounds without complicating your setup.
Whether you want to thicken your tone, create harmonies, or completely shift your pitch, the XS-1 delivers smooth, accurate tracking with the reliability you expect from BOSS.
Instant Creative Options
This is a pedal designed to give you more sounds under your feet, without needing multiple guitars or complicated rigs.
You can:
• shift your pitch up or down
• create harmonised lead lines
• simulate alternate tunings
• add depth and texture to rhythm parts
It’s especially useful for players who want flexibility on stage or in a compact pedalboard setup.
Polyphonic Tracking That Just Works
The XS-1 uses polyphonic pitch shifting, meaning it tracks full chords cleanly — not just single notes.
That makes it ideal for:
• rhythm guitar parts
• chord-based playing
• layered textures and ambient sounds
No glitchy tracking, no fighting the pedal — just consistent, musical results.
Simple, Practical Control
BOSS has kept things straightforward, so you can dial in sounds quickly without getting lost in menus.
It’s built for:
• quick adjustments on stage
• easy setup at home
• reliable performance every time you step on it
Built Like a BOSS
As you’d expect, the XS-1 is housed in BOSS’s legendary compact pedal design — tough, road-ready, and built to last.
It’s the kind of pedal you can throw on your board and trust night after night.
Key Features
• Polyphonic pitch shifting for chords and single notes
• Smooth, accurate tracking with minimal latency
• Create harmonies, alternate tunings and layered tones
• Simple, intuitive controls for fast setup
• Compact BOSS design built for gigging
• Reliable performance for stage, studio or practice
