All user reviews for the Boss OC-2 Octave

Octaver a simple to use, with two knobs, one per octave! Jack connectors in / out, power supply and a BOSS type (normal is a boss)

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple (it is a normal boss)

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is unique. J'avous bothers me too much if we do not f ke add an octave at low volume. I find amme corny because of his trs "false", trs cold, trs numrique in the wrong sense. (Normal is a boss)

But I use it with many of the octave just below, and moderately in the other (the worst you understood!) I add a + a distortion overdrive (do not do a lot of noise, not jsuis a nag, but it gives a lot of grain and ->) gives me a shot of an old synth and its type is too trippant! I like!

I put 7 to the sound that I love!

SOUND QUALITY

<ul> Used with RG270, an LTD MH400, a Valbee, and of course some other effects ...
Do not buzz, do not hum! Transparent when inactive </ul>

Rule 1: to be the beginning of chaining (after the guitar), otherwise the spray sound is guaranteed!

This effect allows me to record a pseudo-low or color my sound a little color to a color ultra quiet this.

For cons, I avoid the use of high-speed plans because the effect can be quickly draft. Ditto for what is play chords: ca wins.

Finally, the resulting sound is very nice, can give a little interesting side synthetic.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I used it for a year or so.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The +:
Original sound
Provides a typed his "low" with a guitar
Provides sound very chépers
The -:
Pedal (effect?) That requires paying attention to his game, to attack the strings.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
None. But the octave of the whammy or PS-5 seemed "cleaner".

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Very good, if one knows what one wants on one hand and if we know what we can get with this pedal.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
At the time, yes. Since then, I sold because I did not use but it's still a great product.

BOSS pedals like we do more Submitted:
3 Octaver analog knob between .1 and 1 output jack, 9 volt power supply jack.
Nothing but classic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very sturdy too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UTILIZATION

The octave of this place just APRS guitar.le trs manual is explicit and allows them to master the craft that take the lead.
If we leave the donns example in the manual, you have to like the sounds bizare and wacky!

SOUND QUALITY

The rglage to simulate a guitar and a bass playing in unison is my favorite rglage!! The octave when I use to play riffs ffectus breaks on a string, g nral the low E to add a "button" has a groovy little mass disto uses.
I play on a ltd mh400 and a tube amp evan 60, with distos more.
It does not serve me and has a sound is absolutely HUGE!
You took a slap you in the action live, and the audience is a tsunami of bass in the pit and thanked by Repts slams!
WARNING: I use this effect when I play on a line, because with the agreements, the sound Well is not pretty!!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 5-6 years and this effect is great and perfectly suited to the sound I wanted! I have not tried another brand and it's a good value / prix.Si I did, I would be very sad and repurchase now!
I repeated, I do not use that playing on a rope in order to magnify the sound of a riff and break with a ton of distos: BIG BIG slap ensures !!!!!!!!!!
large effect of surprise live!

Boss has the pedal for you. If you are looking to beef up your tone and get yourself gig ready then look no further than to the Boss Roland company to help you out in all of your guitar pedal playing needs.

This is the Octave pedal that produces and effects that give you two separate octaves within the effect. This is an easy pedal to use. You have three control knobs and they work pretty well. The two octaves are on the outer sides. The middle control knob sets the overall level or volume of the effect pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

I find that this kind of effect works best with bass guitars than it does with a guitar rig. It certainly does sound good in the right setting with a guitar amp but the bass seems to be more apt to taking the overall effect much better in a more usable way. I like the sound of this pedal. I have always liked the cool octave sound anyway so having two separate octaves is a plus. You can dial them in to have one below and above or just having a somewhat detuned guitar tone. This is a pedal or an effect that you would use sparingly. You won't use this pedal a lot in your overall sound. It is good for solos or somewhere that a break in the music occurs. If you want to hear what an octave sounds like listen to the song "My Iron Lung" by Radiohead and the opening sound is an octave pedal, which I believe is a Digitech octave pedal but essentially the same type of sound that this pedal would create.

OVERALL OPINION

These pedals have been long discontinued not since 2003. They have a newer one that can be used for bass and guitar. That ones has much more user friendly controls and parameters. This pedal is great as well and if you can get it for under $50 the I would recommend picking this pedal up. It is a fun pedal for getting some very cool effects for your rig.

The Boss OC-2 was one of the first pedals I bought. I found it real cheap at some store, and I remember my hero Yngwie Malmsteen using one. I just had to try it out, so I bought it. It features two different octave knobs and a level knob. These allow you to choose between one or two octaves below the note -- or both.

UTILIZATION

The OC-2 is an absolute beast in terms of reliability. These things have been around forever and withstood the test of time. Failure rates are extremely low thanks in part to Boss' sturdy housing. The manual is clearly written, and they even give you a few example settings to try out. Just playing with the knobs should give you some idea as to how everything operates.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of this is somewhat iffy. It does what it says though -- it fattens up the tone by adding one or two octaves to the sound. This can make your guitar really fat sounding, but it's different from a pitch shifter. I actually thought I'd be able to emulate a bass guitar sound with this, but you really can't. It's not that kind of pedal. If you're looking for some real cool doom and sludge style riffing, this pedal can help boost that low end during the heavy chord parts. Just be sure not to use too much of it or else you can get lost in the mix.

OVERALL OPINION

If you know what an octave pedal is and does, it's worth checking out. After all, it's the world standard of octave pedals. However, I found that the usage was fairly limited in the real world. I'm not a big doom metal player, and when I want to play that kind of music, I prefer using an aggressive fuzz instead. If you want to thicken up some clean tones, this can actually work pretty well. Overall, it's a pedal that's worth experimenting with, but I couldn't find a practical use for it.
