I Tried BOSS’s New Poly Shifters—XS-1 vs XS-100 (Tracking = INSANE)

Brian from B’s Music Shop dives into BOSS’s brand-new Poly Shifters: XS-1 (compact, instant retuning) and XS-100 (expression-driven pitch workstation). We test drop tunings, capo sims, detune “chorus,” octave bass tones, and that classic “whammy” glide—plus the XS-100’s toe-switch tricks and memories. If you play live, record at home, or just want massive pitch creativity without tone penalty, this is for you. 🎸 Buy from us & support the shop: https://bsmusicshop.com/products/sear...
