The New Standard in Octave Pedals

The OC-5 is the definitive octave pedal, combining the traditional BOSS octave sound with the latest tracking technology. In the POLY mode, the OC-2 can now be played stably over an even wider range of notes. A new +1 octave sound can now be added, covering a wide range of 3 octaves. From fat monophonic octave sounds to range-shifting chord playing, the OC-5 offers the widest range, best playability, and most refined octave sounds.

Standard Features

• Octave pedal sets new standards with enhanced features
• New tracking technology delivers a more accurate and natural feeling with no latency.
• VINTAGE mode faithfully reproduces the monophonic sound of the famous OC-2
• In POLY mode, ideal for chord playing, the RANGE knob can be used to specify the bandwidth where the effect is applied
• In POLY mode, setting the RANGE knob to LOWEST produces a -1 octave sound only on the lowest note of the chord.
• +1OCT knob for +1 octave sound
• GUITAR/BASS switch optimized for instruments using the tracking engine
• DIRECT OUT jack for individual direct sound output

Octave Pedal with Unparalleled Performance

Equipped with BOSS' latest real-time processing technology, the OC-5 is the most expressive octave pedal ever, offering outstanding sound and playability. It delivers precise performance with no latency and no stagnation. Also capable of polyphonic playing over a wider range than previous models, the OC-5 is a high-performance pedal that covers all the needs of an octave pedal.

VINTAGE mode for classic tones

In 1982, the OC-2 debuted as the world's first modern octave pedal. The OC-5's VINTAGE mode uses the latest tracking technology to deliver the iconic monophonic sound of the OC-2 with a more natural response. The two LEVEL knobs allow you to adjust the volume of the -1 and -2 octave sounds, respectively, and the DIRECT LEVEL knob allows you to balance the direct and effect sounds, giving you total control over your sound.

Enhanced POLY Mode

Another feature of the OC-5 is the smart POLY mode, a further evolution of the polyphonic octave first introduced on the OC-3 Super Octave that is fully compatible with chord playing. The RANGE knob allows the user to specify the bandwidth of the effect, so that a -1 octave sound can be created for melody lines or chords as desired. You can also set the RANGE knob to LOWEST to get an octave sound only on the lowest note of the chord.

New +1 octave sound

The OC-5 can produce a +1 octave sound in both VINTAGE and POLY modes, simulating the sparkling sound of a 12-string guitar, adding thickness to chords in combination with a -1 octave sound, or even adding a +1 octave to solo playing to increase its presence. The +1 octave adds a fat unison sound that adds presence to solo performances.

GUITAR/BASS switch and DIRECT OUT jack

By switching the GUITAR/BASS switch on the pedal itself, the tracking engine is optimized for each guitar and bass for the best performance. The DIRECT OUT jack makes it easy to output direct and effect sounds separately to a mixer, audio interface, or two stage amplifiers.
