case of Boss effect (with the construction that goes with the Metallic case, the switch a little soft ...).
One effect octave analog.

UTILIZATION

Super easy to use: a volume knob for each "slice" effect: Clear sound, the sound - one octave, the sound -2 octave. Dosage will ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound ... ah, the sound! Analog octave, circuit 80 ... yes, it is not very accurate, it picks up quickly and it gurgles (artifacts pitch), it does "footer" not well a bit low notes (below The bass), and for the agreements, forget ...

But what it sounds! Fat, sticky, great presence! Played with short and dry notes, lines a little bit staccato, it's happiness.

The "tracking" benefits greatly from its slightly compressed before entering the pedal, it's something to consider in chaining on a pedalboard ...

OVERALL OPINION

This was my first octave and I never looked further. I tried others, Pog, octave multiplexer, EBS octave and octave even the digitech bass synth wah fashion ... they are all better than the OC-2 on a technical level, but none has the charm of this old brown thingy.
