Boss OC5 Pedal

Boss OC-5 Octave Pedal

Up for sale is the powerhouse Boss OC-5 Octave. Widely regarded as the new gold standard for octave pedals, the OC-5 takes everything that made the legendary OC-2 and OC-3 great and supercharges it with tracking that is faster and more precise than ever before.

Driven by Boss’s latest tracking technology, the OC-5 delivers zero-latency performance whether you’re playing lightning-fast lead lines or heavy chords. With its selectable Vintage/Poly modes, a dedicated +1 Octave option, and an optimized Guitar/Bass switch, it’s the most versatile and reliable octave pedal you can put on your board.

🎸 Feature Highlights:

Vintage Mode: A spot-on recreation of the legendary, glitchy, mono OC-2 from 1984. It nails that warm, fat sub-octave tone loved by funk, rock, and fusion players.

Poly Mode: Perfect for chord work. Play full chords without the pedal tracking awkwardly or turning to mush.

The "Lowest Note" Filter: In Poly mode, you can use the Range knob to isolate the octave effect to only the lowest note of your chord. It’s perfect for guitarists in a trio who want to simulate a bass player while keeping their high chords clean.

+1 Octave Upper Control: Go a whole octave up for screaming, 12-string textures, classic psychedelic fuzz-octave leads, or massive synth-like walls of sound.

Guitar/Bass Optimized: A dedicated switch on the back optimizes the tracking engine specifically for either instrument.

Direct Out: Send your dry guitar signal and the octave effect to two separate amplifiers or mixer channels for a massive stereo rig setup.
