It’s also a matter of application, but I encourage you to play around with the Bass/Guitar switch. In most cases I find them useless, but the OC-5 could benefit from an included illustration of sample settings for guitarists new to the pedal, but this is a minor fuss for me. In Poly mode, the OC-5’s stacked octave bass tones cleanly isolate the low root notes to accompany your chording for extra density, and the upper octave control is good for adding warbly chime to the upper registers or a hint of 12-string shimmer.īlending all three octave voices in Poly mode can fetch super-plump organ textures and synth-like impressions as well. Set to Vintage mode, the OC-5 can play a vital role for adding a subterranean layer of bottom end or bellowing growl to basslines, and guitarists will find it an indispensable tool for providing massive rumble to power chords. But I’m one of those players that finds this musically endearing. The OC-5 is also better at subduing the momentary artefacts that could sporadically bounce to an upper harmonic octave or something else entirely, and emerge only if you hold a couple notes together – one after another – for the musical glitch to pop up. ![]() ![]() Gone is the very slight sluggishness of the OC-2 in favor of the OC-5’s stellar tracking and near latency-free performance that flat-out feels great for accurate playing. ![]() As always, Boss not only improves but exceeds expectations with this new iteration of their classic octave pedal.
