Description
Boss OC-5 Octave combines a spot-on recreation of the legendary OC-2 with modern enhancements for scultping your octavized tone. Vintage mode will give you the sound of the original pedal, albeit with better tracking for instantaneous octavized sounds. Poly mode allows you to track chords perfectly, complete with its range knob on the -2 Octave. This knob allows you to double only the bass note of a chord if you so choose.This pedal offers a Bass/Guitar switch, so you can better tune the voicing for your particular instrument.
