@piercegauge5800 3 года назад

I love this pedal. An essential for me in my duo (drums and guitar). I have a two amp rig and this pedal is always on through the bass amp. I can fool around with country picking, blues, rock and metal with this pedal. The only limitations are that my fingers can't always create the sounds I want since playing a bass and guitar part yourself can often limit you. But my fingerpicking is always evolving and I'm playing smoother and smoother bass lines with this as I continue. I never switch this thing out of the lowest note polyphonic mode.

@magnusg-o8676 2 года назад

What do you call the pedals which do a similar job except it's not a whole octave above or below, it's more like a note that harmonises with the original note? For example the Deep Purple Highway Star solo, I think it's just 2 separately recorded tracks, but I saw a pedal which imitated the two note playing. I cannot remember the name of these types of pedals but I remember them being similar to these types. Help please.

@CaseyVan 3 года назад

Sir, I have a Electroharmonix Bass-9 and it has a setting called split where the lower range notes are played as bass notes. The problem with that is that it's polyphonic. Is the tracking of the low note monophonic meaning it only plays the lowest note in your chord, or does that do what my pedal does? I am in a trio, and it's frustrating because I play bass, but I have guitar playing ability (some finger picking skills so it's nice to have what I've got) but I can't play strumming patterns because you will have the two lower notes of the chord playing which is too muddy. If it tracked only the lowest note then I would really be interested in this effect.

@GreenhamGuitar 3 года назад

This is also my question... I couldn't play roots with a third without the OC3 freaking out. This OC5 does seem better than the OC3 and the Bass9 in terms of actually isolating the lowest note from all the played notes in the selected range. If you listen with headphones, he plays a root and a 5th and it doesn't get confused, I think? Otherwise, check out OPFXS Dig Deep - A flawlessly designed subharmonic-only pedal.

@sweetwater 3 года назад

Hello, Josh! Sorry if I'm a little confused by your question, but I'm having trouble following all of it. This pedal does have an octave up effect on it, and can follow chords that you play, but it won't necessarily make the bass sound just like a guitar. For the second part of your question, I guess I would just recommend getting a looper pedal. Thanks for the interest!

@FallNorth 3 года назад

I wish BOSS would make the current setting angle indicator on the dials clearer, why is it a tiny white mark? Look at say an 80s DD2 or DS2 other pedals from then, it's very very clear what setting the dials are at even in the semi dark as the are clear with great contrast. Modern pedals (like this one) I have to get a bl00dy torch to see what the settings are on. Maybe there needs to be a cottage industry in better readable dials.

Hi, Phillip! Hope you're well and safe. That's a fun tone to play! The OC-5 doesn't have a dry kill, you have to manually set the direct vs OCT level via the knobs on the pedal.

@sweetwater 2 года назад

Hi, Store At. The pedals are pretty different. The main differences are that the Behringer only does an octave down from the original signal and is intended for monophonic playing. The OC-5 gives you an octave down, plus one and two octaves up. It can also work for polyphonic or monophonic playing. Either one could be great depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

@sweetwater 2 месяца назад

Hi, jwllong! Thanks for your question. In “Poly” mode, the OC5 “Range” control alters where the octave effect crosses over from a frequency perspective.

@g4guitarschoolsoxnardventu805 2 года назад

Has anyone tried using the BOSS OC-5 with an acoustic guitar? I am trying to isolate the lowest note of my chords to pretty much have the sound of a bass playing along with me. But, it sounds pretty muddy and even sometimes has a strange delay like sound as if I had a delay pedal on. The volume is also all over the place. I was thinking that if I put a compressor in the chain that will help this problem. What do you guys think?

@sweetwater 2 года назад

Hi and thanks for your message, interesting question. The "crossover" function absolutely provides low end enhancement. How successful it is depends on your playing style and instrument. Likely more successful for finger style than aggressive strumming. Limiting over compression (to control peaks) and pre EQ may help, as well.

@turbulenttruth 9 месяцев назад

Same problem. Been playing professionally for 40 years and wanted it to do what you expressed. It is not capable of that task. The tracking and latency are not what was advertised…at least for acoustic guitar. It is muddy and you simply cannot isolate the octaves well enough to accomplish what you and I want. I just got mine today and it’s for sale right now if someone wants to buy it.😂

@turbulenttruth 9 месяцев назад

Okay. I stand corrected…by myself. After spending a little time, I have found that it can do what we want it to do but will be ineffective live. Since there are no real visual values to store or reproduce, the pedal’s performance for the task we’re discussing will vary greatly from song to song. It requires VERY fine tuning with a knob that tells you nothing. I’ve taken a picture of the settings to call up when I need it but it’ll be completely different in another tuning or if I capo up. Too bad. It’s a cool effect that someone will do right at some point.
