The Boss XS-100 Poly Shifter is a powerful pedal-based pitch shifting device that offers a wide range of pitch modification options for guitar and bass. This device opens up new ways to express yourself through music, allowing you to smoothly slide the pitch up or down by up to four octaves with its smoothly operating pedal. You can also utilize preset tuning settings such as drop tunings and capo simulations, as well as enhance solos with a single footswitch press. Internal memories make your favorite settings easily accessible both on stage and in the studio.
The XS-100 uses advanced technology developed through years of BOSS innovation, ensuring a natural and musical sound. The pedal’s internal DSP platform and finely tuned algorithms guarantee that the attack and tonal characteristics remain clear, even in complex chord and solo sounds. This makes pitch shifts balanced and pleasant to listen to, without the impurities typical of traditional pitch shifters.
The pedal features an ultra-smooth trigger that allows linear pitch adjustment over a four-octave range up or down. The integrated toe switch enables momentary pitch jumps, with adjustable range and timing. Additionally, fixed semitone settings over an eight-octave range allow quick tuning changes for drop tunings, capo effects, and special chords. The detune function adds rich doubling effects by fine-tuning the pitch by +/- 50 cents.
Users can adjust the pedal’s response curve and sensitivity according to their preferences. The toe switch and footswitch functions are fully customizable, providing flexibility for various pitch shifting needs. Furthermore, 30 memory slots allow saving and quick recall of favorite settings.
The XS-100 is designed to integrate into various rig setups. It has two separate footswitches or a single expression pedal for broader real-time control. TRS MIDI I/O connections enable external MIDI control and sending MIDI commands via the pedal and footswitches. A USB port facilitates system updates. Additionally, a dedicated analog output mirrors the input signal, offering flexibility in larger setups.
The pedal’s AD conversion is based on 24-bit Adaptive Focus technology, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio. The DA conversion is 32-bit with a 48 kHz sampling rate. The nominal input and output level is -10 dBu, with maximum levels of +7 dBu. Input impedance is 2.2 MΩ and output impedance is 1 kΩ. The pedal features buffered bypass switching. The display is a backlit graphic LCD (64 x 32 pixels).
The device operates on an AC adapter, with a power consumption of 160 mA and 0.1 W when powered off. Dimensions are 147 x 230 x 72 mm (maximum height 96 mm) and weight is 1.7 kg.
