OC-5 : Absolutely Superb on Bass Guitar

I recently started needing an Octaver so pulled out an old Arion Octave pedal from the 1980s that was languishing in the gear cupboard. It worked fine and it made a good sound. But I'd always wanted an OC2 so after reading the reviews I ordered the OC5... Wow! This is so much better than the old Arion. It has a big confident sound and excellent tracking.

I'm preferring the Vintage (OC2) mode over the Poly, and as I'm using it on bass the -2OCT knob stays set to zero. I didn't expect to like the +1OCT but a smidge of that added to 50% Direct and 30% -1OCT makes a huge fat sound with added clarity. However, if you want the Guy Pratt signature OC2 sound that's just a few knob tweaks away.

Thoroughly recommended for bass and well worth the cost.
