The OC-5 is the definitive octave pedal, combining BOSS's traditional octave sound with the latest tracking technology. In VINTAGE mode, it faithfully reproduces the sound of the legendary OC-2 monophonic octave pedal, born in 1982, while POLY mode allows for stable playing across an even wider range. A new +1 octave sound has been added, providing support for a wide 3-octave range. From fat monophonic octave sounds to chord playing with shifted pitches, the OC-5 offers the widest range, superior playability, and refined octave sound. An octave pedal that delivers outstanding performance. Featuring BOSS's latest real-time processing technology, the OC-5 is the most expressive octave pedal ever, delivering exceptional sound and playability. It offers zero latency and seamless, accurate performance, and supports polyphonic playing with a wider range than previous models. The OC-5 is a high-performance pedal that covers all the needs you could ask for in an octave pedal. Classic tone VINTAGE mode In 1982, the OC-2 debuted as the world's first modern octave pedal. Its warm, distinctive sound can be heard on many classic albums and continues to be loved by guitarists and bassists worldwide. The OC-5's VINTAGE mode uses the latest tracking technology to play the OC-2's iconic monophonic sound with a more natural response. The two LEVEL knobs adjust the volume of the -1 and -2 octave sounds, respectively. The DIRECT LEVEL knob allows you to balance the direct and effected sounds, giving you complete control over your sound. Enhanced POLY mode Another feature of the OC-5 is its smart POLY mode, which is a further evolution of the polyphonic octave first introduced in the OC-3 Super Octave and is fully compatible with chord playing. The RANGE knob allows you to specify the frequency range to which the effect is applied, so you can generate a -1 octave sound for melody lines and chords as you like. You can also set the RANGE knob to LOWEST to obtain an octave sound only for the lowest note of a chord. Newly added +1 octave sound The OC-5 allows you to obtain a +1 octave sound in both VINTAGE and POLY modes. It can be used in a variety of ways, such as simulating the sparkling sound of a 12-string guitar, adding thickness to chords by combining it with a -1 octave sound, or creating a fat unison sound with an added +1 octave to enhance the presence of solo performances. GUITAR/BASS Switch and DIRECT OUT Terminal: By switching the GUITAR/BASS switch on the pedal itself, you can optimize the tracking engine for guitar or bass, delivering the best possible performance. Additionally, the inclusion of a DIRECT OUT terminal makes it easy to output the direct and effected signals separately to a mixer, audio interface, or two stage amplifiers.Condition: No problems with use.
