Description

Fusing classic BOSS octave tones with the latest tracking technologies, the BOSS OC-5 sets a new standard in octave pedal performance. Vintage mode provides a spot-on recreation of the legendary mono OC-2 from 1982, while Poly mode offers numerous enhancements for extended-range playing. And with the addition of an octave-up feature, a span of three octaves is now available for creative exploration. From fat, low mono sounds to octave-shifted chords and more, the OC-5 delivers the widest range, finest sound quality, and best playability in any octave stomp to date.

  • This Is A Great Octave Pedal, but the Technology Has a Few Drawbacks
I like this pedal a lot, but I want to clarify my use. I am using it in a pedal chain with a 5-plug daisy chain power source, and I am playing a nylon string guitar. I also am isolating the 6th and 5th strings to get the lower bass octave, and I had to work to figure out the dual Outputs to isolate the bass register strings from the 4th-1st. The instructions are wrong. It tells you that the upper Output jack should go to the rest of the chain and the Direct jack should go directly to a 2nd amp or mixer channel. This is reversed. Output goes to amp, Direct goes to pedal chain. Octave pedal has to be first in chain. Also, there is distortion in mix, if you play higher register chords which are complex - 3 to 4 note harmonies. Probably made for only 6th string bass and simpler chords. It's the state of the Tracking technology. I've learned to deal with it. Seller is impossible to reach and get a clear answer from. Roland did respond, but I figured the instruction mistake on my own. ... show more

  • This pedal is very versatile
I love this pedal. Boss pedals have always be top notch. What is great about this pedal is that there is a switch for the guitar and bass. The response is great. The best version of this pedal. Definitely try it out. You won’t be disappointed.

  • Finally .........
As a solo guitar (five-finger picking) /vocalist with feet drums, after all these years of hoping, finally BOS has delivered to me the bass player of my dreams, who can follow me without error in the many unusual keys (C#, Eb) I play in. I am now a complete one-person, 5-peice AI band, with no splits in the money made or personality /scheduling conflicts. Absolutely miraculous, is the only word to describe my bass player - the BOS OC-5 in poly-mode ("Bassonizer"). It is almost like the BOS OC-5 becomes more intelligent as time goes on. It plays bass notes to my chords and/or just about anything else I play. Quality of the bass sound is perfect. There are two outputs, which is an option to run a separate bass amp for your bass notes while keeping the precious guitar settings going direct. For my purposes I only use -1 octave because of the limitations of my gigging amp. Bass notes are totally adjustable from the BOS unit or the amp as separate from the guitar (direct). I use a Helicon Harmonizer (Amazon) along with the OC-5, there is no adverse interference or conflict with either of the units. Now looking on Amazon for 3 bobble-head dolls, to become part of my on-stage presentation - two singers and one bass player. Only Negative: There is a delay, but that negative point almost makes the entire presentation more human. I am sure the OC-6 will overcome that. ... show more

  • It’s pretty cool
Not very prominent I was expecting it to change my whole bass sound it kind of just adds harmony and gets muddy

  • I know why your here.
Get it!! NOW!!! The BEST pedal-sized octave pedal on the market. The OC3 is legend. The OC5 is the new kid intown. Great for acoustic or electronic. Great to just beef you your sound. Cool feature, will play lowest note only in poly mode. Great for fingerpicks. Can switch to OC2 mode. Also Legend. Fast tracking and a dry out. More possibilities with this. A great pedal. Worth the price of admission. Its Boss Baby! ... show more

  • Amazing for both guitar and bass.
This is simply an amazing pedal. I have used it to enhance the bass register while playing an acoustic guitar and also to get some funky, interesting effects on the bass. I love both.

  • Another great pedal from Boss
You know what you're getting when you get a Boss pedal. This is a very handy pedal for harmonizing on your guitar. The sound is great, and the pedal is very flexible.

  • It works well and doesn’t have a range.
It works very well not only as Oct I’ve multiplier but almost to the edge of a synthesizer pedal. Best price I could find even at major online music outlets and you never go wrong with Boss.
