Everyone.

Come in here.

Gush about your favourite single pedal.

No multi's, no all singing all dancing crap of the world pedals, with more functions and modes than you can shake a deathclaw's head at.

Just pure singles.

DOOOO ITTTTTT.
 
Easy peasy lemon squeeze (ehhh.. that’s not in my Swedish nature to say)

A Boss Harmonist PS-6. You play single note lines and the pedal will add one or two harmony notes within the diatonic key you choose. You select the key, either major or natural minor using the mode and key knobs on the right. If you're playing something modal e.g. Lydian, Dorian, Phrygian or Mixolydian you select the appropriate major key.

To choose what note(s) you want the pedal to play, you use the shift/harmony knob to pick one of 7 diatonic intervals or to add the 2 notes of a diatonic triad. The triad can be root position, 1st inversion or 2nd inversion. I usually only use the 3rd or 6th interval and not the triads, although the 2nd inversion triad sounds pretty good.

This is probly not a pedal you'd use in the studio where you can record 3rd and 6th intervals with your guitar on another track. But it can come in handy playing live. Tracking is good as it is with most Boss and Roland products.
