OSS OC-5 Octave Pedal | Review | Sam Bell

Octave pedals of the past decade have presented guitar and bass players with a tough decision: Are you searching for that classic OC-2-style octave effect - the sound most of us guitar and bass players associate with the octave pedal - to add weight to your leads and walking lines? Or do you want modern tracking and polyphonic capabilities to help flesh out chords in a solo setting? Well, with the BOSS OC-5 Octave pedal, now you don't have to choose. Sam Bell tells us more.

Would be interesting to hear the lowest mode with some grunge style power chords. Wonder if it could replace a bassist. Turn the clean tone off and run it through a bass amp.

this is exactly what i do in my band and it works amazing, im glad someone else thought the same thing as me ahaha, i play grunge in my band too

So in poly mode it is like a bassist in a box. Have been looking for something like that for years. Would be interested to hear it with an acoustic with the Octaver only picking up the bass notes of the guitar chord.
