General

Boss reveals the next step in their famed OC Series of compact pedals: the OC-5. Compared to the OC-3, this fresh model boasts improved polyphonic tracking, extremely low latency and even the sounds from the OC-2. In Poly mode, this octave pedal shapes a nicely tight variation while in Vintage mode, you get a classic and glitchy octaver sound. Using the range of fitted Octave controls, you can manually dial in exactly the kind of special tone you want, even if that includes an 8-string or even 12-string vibe.

Ideaal voor mij. Als gitarist en bassist. Hij is voor beide zeer bruikbaar. Inmiddels verschillende Octave pedalen gehad. Maar good old Boss blijft toch het fijnst. Ook voor de portemonnee. Want qua prijs is deze zeer goede te doen i.r.t. andere merken

Boss OC-5 is een fantastisch pedaal: intuïtieve bediening gekoppeld aan kraakhelder geluid! Heel mooi dat je ook de laagste basnoot uit je je gitaarakkoord ALLEEN kunt octaveren..

super octaver qui fonctionne aussi bien en octave UP que DOWN en mode vintage on est dans l'univers de l'OC-2 . L'enorme intérêt de l'OC-5 c'est le mode poly qui permet de sectionner les cordes a octaver individuellement sans toucher aux autres , ce mode est génial et d'une précision incroyable ça boost le créativité permet par exemple de se démarquer de l'autre guitariste du groupe ou juste d'apporter un petit plus , une petite épaisseur au son de manière très subtile
une grande reussite cette pedale , l'art comme sait si bien le faire boss de marier le pure vintage et le monde moderne

Geweldige Octaver de BOSS OC5 !
Vooral de Poly mode is fijn. Deze transponeert je toon razendsnel naar 1 octaaf lager of 1 octaaf hoger.
Je kan bijv. het bereik instellen, zodat ie alleen de laagste toon doet en je hogere tonen normaal blijven.
Maar ook als je hem vóór een Fuzz of overdrive zet klinkt het erg vet!

Fijn octaver pedaal voor gitaar en bas met zowel de essentie van de OC-2 als de OC-3 onder motorkap. Klassieke ocataver sounds met octave up. Muzikaal maar verwacht geen whammy of pog sounds.

Bassiste, grand kiffeur d'Octaveurs, possesseur de deux OC-2 Japan ("Octaver" '83 et "Octave" '85), mon évaluation portera particulièrement sur mon utilisation en mode "Sub Only" : réglage dry 0% / Oct -1 100%, en comparaison avec ces dernières.

je suis assez bluffé par le mode "Vintage" de l'OC-5 qui délivre un son quasiment identique à l'OC-2, malgré une technologie numérique et non analogique.

Néanmoins quelques différences avec mes OC-2 :
en positif :
-> Plus gros niveau de sortie pour l'OC-5
-> Un bas plus défini, plus "rond", moins "baveux" compensé malgré tout par un petit manque de caractère
-> Fonctionne avec toutes mes basses sans broncher (mes OC-2 partent en vrille avec les basses à gros niveau de sortie style PB equipée Lollar), et ce même sur de très grosses attaques

en négatif :
-> un tracking différent et pour ma part qui me paraît en dessous de celui des 0C-2 Japan, surtout sur les fin de notes à soigner particulièrement avec l'OC-5
-> un son avec un peu moins de caractère (enveloppe d'attaque caractéristique des OC-2 un peu moins prononcée)
-> Une dynamique moindre (cf Tracking).

J'ai à peine testé le mode Poly qui à mon sens est gadget car décroche un peu, tout comme le mode octave-up qui sonne beaucoup moins bien que chez EHX (privilégier pour cette utilisiation une Micro Pog, Pog2 ou Pitchfork, meilleur tracking, timbre plus intéressant).
L'Oct -2 étant de toutes façons inutilisable à la basse, comme sur l'OC-2, je ne m'y attarde pas.

En clair, une très bonne alternative pour l'utilisation en mode "Sub Only" aux désormais onéreuses OC-2 Vintage, surtout si vous avez une ou plusieurs basses un peu capricieuses avec les OC-2 et leur technologie analogique qui peu donner lieu à une très désagréable distortion si le niveau d'entrée est trop important. Ce problème est totalement inexistant avec l'OC-5 numérique, pour un résultat quasiment identique une fois dans le mix !
Aurait pu être une encore meilleure copie de l'OC-2, mais je trouve ça déjà très très très honnête.
