Thanks for checking out the video guys! **IMPORTANT NOTE** I didn’t mention in the video, I got too excited but the ‘Lowest’ mode is where it’s at! It only adds the octave effect to the lowest note you play, irrespective of how complex your chords are, it’ll just add it to the lowest note! So sick!
@@Bltgdf I feel you, bro. This is one of those special pickups (submarine? little thunder? I don't remember the names) but in a pedal. Very well designed.
Rabea is the best guitar pedal reviewer out there. Being a brilliant musician with a producer's ear, I think he shows everything the viewer can expect in a pedal.
Love Rabea on Andertons and his own channel .... Jonathan Herrera did a GREAT review for OC-5 Bass guitar applications... check him out, the dude deserves more subs!
if I ever wanted one of my non-existant products to be sponsored, I’d ask to Bea. not only I wanna buy an OC5 now, but also a SLO100, a PRS Paul’s Guitar, a new pair of hands...
Finally, you are the only one on youtube that knows how to use an octaver. All the others are just "oh, look... I can emulate an awful organ or a broken 12 strings!".
Dude, Rabea, I just gotta say that of all the guitarists who have a major online presence, you might be the one who I enjoy listening to the most. Well... you and Dan from That Pedal Show. Just hearing you (and Dan, who obviously has the highest respect for you) noodle around is not only really interesting, but full of feeling and soul. Lotsa feels, lotsa soul.
man, your strat playing is just so spectacular. it's old school epic strat tones with an amazing modern style of demented cool chords and single note runs. it screams emotion/feeling.
The Boss OC-3 also did that range control thing, seems like no one really knows about it though. Apart from Jon Gomm. Seems like the OC-5 is an OC-2 and an OC-3 smushed together. I like it.
Man, i'm glad that your preference of pedals are not obvious and not predictable, you make it sound awesome and unique, and inspires to me to make things that are aparently unusable-->usable . Thank you! It's like "oh its says it monophonic, i don't give a shit, i'm gonna play chords and glitch the fuck out of this thing"
Thank You So Much Rabea !! It was an amazing experience for me to watch you explaining everything in such a simple way with so much clarity of technical details of the resultant sound...Thank you !
BOSS is a pioneer and understands the guitar player. I never thought anyone would solve that weird untracking sound with chords on the vintage mode. Then poly mode came out, and here we are now with a poly mode and MORE!
Your guitar playing is astonishing as always, man! I started playing guitar 3 years ago and you've always been my biggest inspiration since then. Thnk you soooo much for sharing what you do, you're simply the best. Cheers!
I don't mean to gush, but man, I gotta' say you are a badass. The different tones you can get and the different play styles you have... Seriously, it's a treat to watch you and listen. I just want to thank you for the vids and everything you do man. I have been getting back into playing guitar and due in no small part to you.
dude.. long time follower from germany here, love all your vids. ..and it happened again. you sold me another product I didn't know I needed :D you sold me so much stuff, beginning way back with my first JVM keep up the amazing work! I have two questions: 1. is the 'the guitarist' shirt going to be in stock some time again? 2. Could you do some kind of 'behind the scenes' video, where you show the whole process of you doing a vid like this? Thanks and all the best!
Fantastic review! Was set on getting a nano POG and after watching this I just pulled the trigger on the OC-5. The range control was the key feature that won it for me. Thanks Rabea 👏
Just monster tones.....I mean, there’s dedicated “tone cork sniffer” channels that don’t even come close to what you achieve in your vids. Hope boss are looking after you because they will sell a truck load off the back of this vid, stellar stuff!
The tones are absolutely insane Bea. Thank you so much for this review, I think I've found my new octave pedal too, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here...!
Just gonna pop in and say, that your playing style sounds really interesting on a Stratocaster. I had grown to sort of dislike strats in recent years, but your playing style may have inspired me to start playing on one.
Rabea, great NUNO call out, I had a similar obsession with Nuno solo for "Stop the World" from III Sides. Likely his least flashy solo, and yet there's no loss. Sounds like NYC at night while it's raining. But only if your a detective smoking a cigar.
I’m sure the OC-3 has a poly mode! Mine does?? The octave up would sell me, but poly’s been around a while. When in poly the second octave knob becomes a range knob too, essentially the only real ‘new’ feature is the octave up. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Great Review man! It was cool of you to share some of your secrets with us! I can understand some of your Toska stuff a lot more after you described how this pedal effects your tone! I agree, the range function on Poly mode kills!
Same here man. I’ve been using the oc-3 for years, has an oc-2 mode which is great, a little less glitchy than the true oc-2, though from what I know thats what Derons always used!
@@Skunkwerx Yeah man I know Deron is synonymous with the OC2 and used across Vol 1 and all the early Oil stuff, Chad's production as well it's crazy how many unique tones they captured! I use a PS-5 super shifter and it gets me a decent octave down tone but looking for one of the brown pedals
James Parry nice! Yeah they’re great man, underrated in my opinion if only for the catchy as hell riffs! Cky or 96 bitter beings. Sucked they parted ways but guess thats life eh. I tried a Tc nether when they came out as it was supposed to be based off the oc-2 circuit but was a cheap option haha.. bit too glitchy/loose in the tracking for me though, sounded ok but I guess I was used to the oc-3. Maybe one day I’ll pick an original oc-2 up if ever I see one reasonable haha..
Deron and chad were absolute riff monsters together, the octave really pushed that signature sound. Shame deron couldn’t get his shit together cause cky kind of died when he left.
Killer new pedal from Boss. I have been using my POG 2 for years with both electric and acoustic and it is a super versatile effect. A little goes a long way. Thanks for the vid Bea. Love your music dude.
You are you of the best pedals reviewers hands down!! Fantastic review of the Boss OC-5. Nice to see someone reviewing a pedal subjectively, but also showing sharing what their personal preferences and how they would use it. Cheers from Canada
THANK YOU for specifically explaining the range function as it relates to the Polyphonic feature. I have not been using my pedal correctly and not knowing why, and now I do!
Hey man, I know you did this video 13-14 months ago, but I just discovered it-and you for that matter. Thanks for doing this video, I ordered one of these pedals last week and it came yesterday while I was at work; I stayed up all night jamming with it-the pedal rocks man. Like I said, this is my first exposure to you. You are fun to listen to and watch; you can see and hear that authentic, kid-like, love of music that you have; you've got a new fan. I subscribed to the channel, I am going to go check your bands, and catch up on the old(er) videos you have. All that said, thanks again... this pedal is fun as hell, and you're the only person I have seen review it who genuinely looked like they were having fun too. Rock and Roll man!
Man, that range control is such a brilliant idea, mix that with the rest of the features and this thing is just seems like the perfect octave pedal. And only $130? This thing seems like a steal. Great playing as usual man, you've sold me on another pedal. But that's nothing new, I literally just bought a Coopersonic Germaniac that I found used at my local Guitar Center because of you, and that thing is a BEAST. Keep up the great work man!
Rabea - I've really come to appreciate your playing, your style, and you as a human being! You just seem like a kool bloke! Seriously, thank you for your reviews, your temperament, your playing, and your genuineness. You come across as a friend telling another friend what he thinks of a particular piece of gear...and enthusiastically so. Cheers! p.s. - you are looking fit as another poster commented... PLEASE do a short vid of how you got into shape. There are a bunch of us who put on more than a covid-"19"...!
Excellent vid, Rabea! Covered all the bases in a clear and straightforward fashion without, as some are prone to do, spinning off into vast riffage. Really nicely focused. ✅👍
Bea thanks for this great review of the OC-5.....Awesome playing. Together with Boss you knocked it out of the park at least 1 mile higher (and then 2 lower). This pedal offers great value for money.
Got mine, and it's a really fun pedals. It doesn't track as good as the Micro Pog in Poly Mode on chords and arpeggios, but the OC-5 sounds way fatter overall. I might put them both on my board then! Thanks for the great demo and the Range knob explanations. Cheers!
Great video as always Rabea! Good move by Boss, I will definitely try it out. The POG needed some reasonably priced and pedal board friendly competition. I tried the the TC Sub N Up but didn't really like it.
Sounds perfect I don’t really hear people use it subtly for extra chunk like you did. That was refreshing. Also nice to hear how it works with all those toska licks.
I'm waiting for these to come into stock like a pining puppy waiting for its owner to come home...I use octave stuff all the time for looping and have been through so many pedals, looking for exactly what the OC5 does. This demo is absolutely astonishing, one of the best review videos I've ever seen, thankyou!
@@metalgotte it's really good and I had it on my board for a long time, but this new boss pedal sounds tighter and cleaner imo. To my ear, the OC-5 octave effect sounds almost baked in to your tone where as pog and sub n up you can kind of hear it as a separate effect sitting underneath your normal sound. Plus the range feature is something I've been after for ages and ages
Ben Boule ok your comment just sold me before even getting all the way into the video! I was wondering like hmm that new Pitchfork+ just came out, but this seems like it has a better TRACK record...in all meanings. I’ll let myself out.
The OC3 has polyphonic mode and a range control. I have a bunch of them and I play guitar and bass at the same time with the stereo out into a bass amp. Been doing this for 10 years! I’ve recorded my last FOUR albums with this setup.
So good you start by mentioning Population One, I literally came to this video cause I started listening to the Mourning Widows record again this week and suddenly wanted an octave pedal
This is the review I was looking for! I'm planning on using this on bass but I could tell from other reviews it tracks well on that setting. I was looking for the handling of power chords though and this excels!
Hey Bea, yep, thats a keeper! I have the impression that the pedal really sounds like you but even better(court) The way you set It up with the range is like having a distorted amp paired with a crunchy amp, so cool. Love the sounds! Cheers
Awesome thx! Damn. My oc3 is hitting eBay soon. If I may correct you Rabea: the oc3 has the range control. For years It has been my superpower in solo singersongwriter gigs. Awesome to dial in the octave effect for e and a string TIL the 7th fret to fake the bass while fingerpicking. (yep it’s so precise)But what you missed: you can feed the octaved sound out on the one jack and the dry guitar signal without the octave out the direct out in its usual fx chain. So Bass stays dry and tight. no bass mush in delays etc. Great 3D separations.Live I’ve got an extra amp for the octave bass with comp etc. When I Throw it on my guitalele heads turn for the bass player/ For desert rock I ad in a fuzz on the bass chain. Fun. Try it! Would be awesome if it would be selectable if the hi octave goes out via direct or mono jack.

Absolutely disgusting.
Yeah dawg that was stanky
I know i listened to it on loop for days now
Listened to it about 10 times myself. Nuno used to do that kind of muted legato run kinda thing. Killer.
It's similar to a riff in midnight express by nuno
Love the special cat edition Joy Division Unknown Pleasures T-shirt.
WOW when you demonstrated the vintage octave with the “math rock” song, it sounded exaaaactly like strawberry girls. so sick
Fantastic review Rabea. Broke that pedal down step by step plus guitar face and 16.54! Mine landed Friday.

Best review for me! Thanks R!
It was Deron Miller and CKY that originally got me into the octave effects and I can see how the OC-5 will expand my options so much from my OC-2

(yep it’s so precise)But what you missed: you can feed the octaved sound out on the one jack and the dry guitar signal without the octave out the direct out in its usual fx chain. So Bass stays dry and tight. no bass mush in delays etc. Great 3D separations.Live I’ve got an extra amp for the octave bass with comp etc. When I Throw it on my guitalele heads turn for the bass player/ For desert rock I ad in a fuzz on the bass chain. Fun. Try it! Would be awesome if it would be selectable if the hi octave goes out via direct or mono jack.
Does this mean that what bea did with oc-5 poly can be done with oc-3?
