Thanks for checking out the video guys! **IMPORTANT NOTE** I didn’t mention in the video, I got too excited but the ‘Lowest’ mode is where it’s at! It only adds the octave effect to the lowest note you play, irrespective of how complex your chords are, it’ll just add it to the lowest note! So sick!

Finally, you are the only one on youtube that knows how to use an octaver. All the others are just "oh, look... I can emulate an awful organ or a broken 12 strings!".

@MRxr400 3 года назад

man, your strat playing is just so spectacular. it's old school epic strat tones with an amazing modern style of demented cool chords and single note runs. it screams emotion/feeling.

@kennethmeldrum4401 3 года назад

That is probably some of the best sounds you’ve made. Thank you for the inspirational playing Bea!

@lapk78 3 года назад

Dude, Rabea, I just gotta say that of all the guitarists who have a major online presence, you might be the one who I enjoy listening to the most. Well... you and Dan from That Pedal Show. Just hearing you (and Dan, who obviously has the highest respect for you) noodle around is not only really interesting, but full of feeling and soul. Lotsa feels, lotsa soul.

You are you of the best pedals reviewers hands down!! Fantastic review of the Boss OC-5. Nice to see someone reviewing a pedal subjectively, but also showing sharing what their personal preferences and how they would use it. Cheers from Canada

@tommyv365 3 года назад

Great Review man! It was cool of you to share some of your secrets with us! I can understand some of your Toska stuff a lot more after you described how this pedal effects your tone! I agree, the range function on Poly mode kills!

Man, i'm glad that your preference of pedals are not obvious and not predictable, you make it sound awesome and unique, and inspires to me to make things that are aparently unusable-->usable . Thank you! It's like "oh its says it monophonic, i don't give a shit, i'm gonna play chords and glitch the fuck out of this thing"

@shamussullivan8236 2 года назад

Hey man, I know you did this video 13-14 months ago, but I just discovered it-and you for that matter. Thanks for doing this video, I ordered one of these pedals last week and it came yesterday while I was at work; I stayed up all night jamming with it-the pedal rocks man. Like I said, this is my first exposure to you. You are fun to listen to and watch; you can see and hear that authentic, kid-like, love of music that you have; you've got a new fan. I subscribed to the channel, I am going to go check your bands, and catch up on the old(er) videos you have. All that said, thanks again... this pedal is fun as hell, and you're the only person I have seen review it who genuinely looked like they were having fun too. Rock and Roll man!

@rob_in_stowmarket_uk 3 года назад

I have two questions: 1. is the 'the guitarist' shirt going to be in stock some time again? 2. Could you do some kind of 'behind the scenes' video, where you show the whole process of you doing a vid like this? Thanks and all the best!

@jordmosselman3403 3 года назад

Hey Bea, yep, thats a keeper! I have the impression that the pedal really sounds like you but even better(court) The way you set It up with the range is like having a distorted amp paired with a crunchy amp, so cool. Love the sounds! Cheers

@mlnem2k 3 года назад

Rabea, great NUNO call out, I had a similar obsession with Nuno solo for "Stop the World" from III Sides. Likely his least flashy solo, and yet there's no loss. Sounds like NYC at night while it's raining. But only if your a detective smoking a cigar.

@fko3885 2 года назад

this is a great review man, thank you very much for being intensely descriptive. I also discovered Nuno Bettencourt, great all-around.

BOSS is a pioneer and understands the guitar player. I never thought anyone would solve that weird untracking sound with chords on the vintage mode. Then poly mode came out, and here we are now with a poly mode and MORE!

@wilsonsguitarlounge8244 3 года назад

Man, that range control is such a brilliant idea, mix that with the rest of the features and this thing is just seems like the perfect octave pedal. And only $130? This thing seems like a steal. Great playing as usual man, you've sold me on another pedal. But that's nothing new, I literally just bought a Coopersonic Germaniac that I found used at my local Guitar Center because of you, and that thing is a BEAST. Keep up the great work man!

Wow. Fantastic review. Thanks a lot Rabbea. I listened to some before listening yours. I thought that the sounds were quite awful and then you explain clearly all the great sounds we can obtain with it. And what a pleasure to hear the PRS Paul's guitar in your hands. I have the SE version and it sounds great. I'm wondering how this Boss OC-5 reacts with a Baryton.

@dasczwo 3 года назад

Awesome thx! Damn. My oc3 is hitting eBay soon. If I may correct you Rabea: the oc3 has the range control. For years It has been my superpower in solo singersongwriter gigs. Awesome to dial in the octave effect for e and a string TIL the 7th fret to fake the bass while fingerpicking. (yep it’s so precise)But what you missed: you can feed the octaved sound out on the one jack and the dry guitar signal without the octave out the direct out in its usual fx chain. So Bass stays dry and tight. no bass mush in delays etc. Great 3D separations.Live I’ve got an extra amp for the octave bass with comp etc. When I Throw it on my guitalele heads turn for the bass player/ For desert rock I ad in a fuzz on the bass chain. Fun. Try it! Would be awesome if it would be selectable if the hi octave goes out via direct or mono jack.
