BOSS OC-3 Super Octave

[Jaganath]

I'm thinking about getting one of these to have some fun with - anyone got one or heard any reviews?

I bought one not long back, great fun for making riffs sound huge and solos really trippy. The polyphonic thing is... alright, it didnt work all that great, but it wasnt too bad. The drive function is kinda limited but good for adding a bit of extra grunt.

Unfortunately it didnt work with my main gigging rig, for reasons somewhat unfathomable. I assume its because my main amp is a bass head, and had problems with the frequencys, but im not sure. I would say try before you buy, but great fun as long as it works.

I think its fun for a short while and then it gets overdone and in all likelihood the pedal will probably not be used again. These things are great for double tracking bass lines and will be alirght in some parts of a song but can be tiring. Buy it if that's what you want but to me its a waste of money

Its really effective when used sparingly, use it too much and it will piss off the bassist.
