Boss OC-5 Octave Pedal | Demo + Review | Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Violin, and Bass
Hey folks, welcome to my review of the brand new Boss OC-5 octave pedal! I’ll be demo-ing it on electric guitar, acoustic guitar, electric violin, and bass; if you’d like to skip around there’s timestamps below. I hope you enjoy the video, if you’ve got any questions/concerns please let me know in the comments!
0:00 – Intro
1:13 – Electric Guitar (US Fender Strat)
3:23 – Acoustic Guitar (Taylor 310ce)
5:28 – *Electric Violin (Bridge Lyra 5-string)
6:44 – Bass (MTD Saratoga Deluxe)
8:01 – Review
Everything was recorded direct into my Scarlett 18i8 interface, except for the distortion guitar test which went direct from my Tech21 RK5 flyrig.
*I should note that the OC-5 did perform better in the violin-as-cello test in bass/vintage mode, though I lost the video somehow for that setting (oops…). The tracking was faster and more accurate, but the sound quality was pretty similar the video test above, so I’d still recommend against ditching your POG or Pitchfork for the OC-5 if you want that cello sound.

If you enjoyed this review, check out this live looping video I made with the OC-5 in action! (https://youtu.be/cYegUXZl_xU – skip to 2.46 to see/hear it in use)
The violin sounded majestic. Thanks for sharing!

Dude! I have NOT heard the actual pedal. Are you ok? You need to review your review! Fine tune before you post. Best of luck!
good demo !!!!
Thanks for uploading this, one of the few videos showing the OC-5 being used in poly mode with low note priority and strumming chords. This is how I would plan to use it to get a bass line for when I’m playing rhythm. I noticed in the video that it sounds like there’s a small amount of “glitching” when using it like this? Sounds like the bass note is fluctuating momentarily? Is this just the video or is it a little unstable when strumming and better suited to fingerpicking? Thanks.
That was great! I built my whole style around the OC3, so this has to be better. In your next loop session, pop the OC5 after the looper so you can periodically "drop the bass" 🙂
Great review for your first one mate. Keep up the good work
