A Fun and Unusual New Boss Clone - The OC-2 Octave!

It's been a little over a month since I finished up my most recent Boss clone builds (if memory serves, it was the double DS-1builds I did back in mid-March). This time around I'm doing something a little different - on a lot of levels. For this build, I'm using the PedalPCB Ocelot Octave board which clones the Boss OC-2 Octave pedal. Honestly, this is one of the more unusual pedals I've built as it adds an additional tone one and two octaves below whatever not you're playing. Octave 1 is useful across most guitar ranges, but I find Octave 2 gets a bit muddy depending on your pick attack if you're playing low bass notes on the guitar. On the higher strings, having the three octave tone is really pretty cool though. The OC-2 appears to be out of production, and used copies seem to run the gamut on Reverb from about $150 to over $300 depending on condition, so this is another great candidate for cloning!
