BOSS OC-2 Octave
A vintage BOSS analog octave pedal with that thick, warm sub tone that defined the sound of a generation.
The BOSS OC-2 is a compact analog octave pedal produced from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s, widely regarded as one of the most musical octave pedals ever made. It generates one and two octaves below the input signal using analog circuitry, giving bass players and guitarists a dense, organic sub-octave texture that digital alternatives have long struggled to replicate. The OC-2 is a standard reference point in any serious discussion of analog octave effects.
Condition
The metallic brown enclosure shows scratches, paint chips, and finish wear on the sides and edges consistent with years of use. The knobs and jacks are intact. The bottom plate is dusty. No cracks are present and the unit is fully assembled.
Tested and working.
