The Boss XS-1 Poly Shifter | How Does It Sound?

I love an octave pedal — even though they so often let me down, I can't resist trying them. I also love Boss. So you know the new Boss XS-1 Poly Shifter was a day one buy for me. But how does it stack up? ------------------------------------------- Unless I state otherwise in the video, everything I test out on here is stuff that I bought myself. There are no paid reviews on this channel and only a couple times have I ever had items sent to me for review. All opinions are my own!
