The OC-5 lets you instantly optimize the performance of its tracking engine for either guitar or bass via a dedicated switch on the body of the pedal. Use the octave-up effect on its own for faux 12-string sounds and unique solo tones, or blend it with the octave-down effects for extended chord voicings and super-fat leads. Simply twist the dedicated +1 OCT knob to bring in the desired effect level.
And with the new tracking refinements, it’s even possible to isolate the octave effect to the bottom note in a chord-just turn the Range knob to the “Lowest” setting.Īnother cool OC-5 enhancement is the new octave-up effect, which is available in both Vintage and Poly modes. The variable Range knob restricts the effect to the lower notes on your instrument, perfect for playing octave bass lines alongside normal chords and melodies in the higher registers.

The OC-5’s Vintage mode brings you the OC-2’s iconic mono sound, coupled with improved response thanks to the new tracking engine.
