Released in 1982, the BOSS OC-2 was the world's first modern octave pedal for guitar and bass. Adored for its warm yet articulate tone, the OC-2 has been used on countless records by some of the best in the business. With the BOSS OC-5, you can recapture the OC-2's iconic mono voice via the 'Vintage' mode - enhanced with the new tracking engine for a super-fast response.
Improved Polyphonic Performance
BOSS' OC-5 also boasts an updated version of the smart 'Poly' mode that first featured on the OC-3 Super Octave pedal. This allows you to play full chords with breathtaking octave effects!
The variable 'Range' control is a clever appointment, as it restricts the effect to just the lower notes on your instrument - ideal for playing octave-affected bass lines with normal chords and melodies in the higher register. With the new tracking refinements, you can even isolate the octave effect to just the bottom note in a chord - simply turn the 'Range' knob to the "lowest" setting.
Octave Up!
Another noteworthy update for the OC-5 is the new octave-up feature, which can be engaged for both the 'Vintage' and 'Poly' modes. Bring in this sweet effect by turning the dedicated '+1 OCT' knob. You can even use the octave-up sound on its own, which is perfect for achieving 12-string-esque sounds. Alternatively, you could blend this with the '-1 OCT' and '-2 OCT' sub-octave effects for fat organ-like tones!
Guitar/Bass Switch & Direct Out
A switch at the back of the OC-5's enclosure allows you to optimise its tracking performance for either guitar or bass. And a 'Direct Out' jack also makes it easy to route dry and effect signals to different sound sources, such as two amplifiers or discrete channels on a mixer/audio interface!
