Subject:Whammy!
Quality: Boss pedals tend to last a while. They have had that same pedal case design for over 20 years now at least! I wouldnt buy a boss distortion when there are so many others out there with more charachter, but for delay, pitch, chorus etc, they cant be beat!
Sound: It sounds pretty good on Bass and guitar. Doesnt have a problem with my active bass high output.
Reliability: Only had it for a day so far, cant speak to this.
Overall: My primary use for this pedal is to make use of pitch shifted tones live, as I do these alot in the studio. I initially was planning to use on my vocals. But this sounds very fun on bass!
Playability and Feel: the labeling on the pedal could be easier to read. It is not apparent which of the conecntric knobs do what. You have to just fiddle and listen.
Tone: Sounds good, tracks well even on fretless bass.
Finish: not my favorite color.
Action: I do not like the whammy mode. In order to use an exp pedal with the whammy mode you must use both feet at the same time. As every guitarist knows, this is an acrobatic feat! It does not latch, so you have to hold it down with your foot or it disengages, so not only guiding your fingers to the right places, but standing on one heel while you hold down a pedal and rock a exp controller is not easy! This is true of the whammy and vibrato modes, but not the other modes.

Subject:Great harmonizer for the price!
Quality: Well made pedal typical of all boss pedals.
Reliability: Built like a tank like all boss pedals. Should work a long long time as long as its being taken care of.
Overall: Sounds great and is easy to use.
Playability and Feel: Switches on and off well, the controls are easy to set and work well.
Tone: Has a nice bright sound and doesn't take away from the tone. The harmonization sounds like real harmonization and not like a keyboard like some harmonizers do.
Finish: Has a nice color, the controls, inputs and outputs are labeled well.
Action: Hooked it up after my boss super chorus with the rest of my 6 other boss pedals, switched it to harmonizer and it worked great.
