THE DEEPEST BOSS OC-5 REVIEW ON YOUTUBE!
Follow me on IG for more cool stuff: @jonherrera_music
Presented by Bass Magazine, the new online magazine from the former Editors of Bass Player Magazine. http://bassmagazine.com
Roland’s first new octave pedal in almost 15 years definitely looks the part…does it do the job?
I go deep in this one! Stay tuned to the end to hear an A/B/C test between an OC-2, OC-3, and the OC-5.

Stumbled across this fantastic review…..I was on the fence but I've just bought one! I'm a Doom Metal player wtf?!
And we’re back
Lowest note mode is when playing chords like you would doing fingerstyle on a guitar!…
I JUST found you…….I wasn't sure if I'd like this review cuz I JUST (yesterday) received my first pedal…….and I'm a Geezer. (73) Early on in your introduction I'm fairly certain that you used the word "Groovy"…..so I'm now a dedicated Follower. Thanks. ????????
I miss the magazine.
I guess the poly mode is easier to dial on the OC-3 than the OC-5
They likely just skipped 4 because its pronounciation is similar to the word death in Japanese. They also skipped the DD-4 delay, the RV-4 reverb, the CE-4 chorus etc.
The only boss pedal with a 4 in its name was the Parametric Equalizer (PQ-4), which has since been discontinued.
But I guess the fact that the OC-5 kind of combines the OC-2 and the OC-3 is a nice coincidence.
Awesome review, thank you, I have the OC5 but still in the box, looking foreward to put it into my upcomming board.
The feature, where it keep the brightest notes clean, works better on a guitar.. I've heard that, and sounds cool, however as a bass player, for me it's not the most important feature, again great review????????????????????
29:20 — I had the same issue you were having with all the notes in a chord (guitar) were getting doubled even with the “LOWEST” poly setting. I’m trying to make this pedal only work on my lowest strings so I can arpeggio chords and basically have a bass line being created behind it. I really wish you found out how to fix it lol
Does anyone know how to get the octave to only respond to the E and A strings? Does changing from the “GUITAR’ to “BASS” setting change the threshold for the effects?
Thought you had some very strong sideburns going on, but it’s your headphones! ???? thanks for video man, I’m just looking at bass effect pedals to go for… I have the super octave pedal, but it almost seems too much… all I want is a clear octave sound and maybe overdrive/fuzz to get the synthy sound. Hard to get things right some times
Really good video and very thorough explanation. By far the best I have seen.
I have all 3, boss oc5 in "vintage" mode has the worst sound. The difference is very evident, especially when the dry signal is excluded. Boss OC2 has better attack and presence, has no attack latency / glitches when playing fast notes
Boss never names anything “4” because the word for 4 in Japanese sounds like the word for death. Hence no dd-4 etc…
Great video. You only missed one pretty basic configuration which is direct + octave up, which the one I use the most.
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge, I just purchased an OC-5 and your video was very helpful…
Very well done. Thank you!
I was impressed! I purchased myself an OC-5!
The OC-5 is absolute trash compared to the OC-2.
Nice!
30:56 – is the pedal faulty? At at 7 and 12 it played octaves on all strings? BUT at 9 o'clock it plays no octaves on any strings?
Really at 7 it should play octaves for 1st string then at 12 an octave for 1st, 2nd string etc
Superb indepth demo! Thanks
Your playing is inspiring
