The OC-2 has been around for a very long time so when the time came to replace it, the new pedal would have to have some new featuers. The OC-3 incorporates a digital design, featuring 3 different modes; Drive, Octave2 and Polyphonic. In Octave2 mode, the OC-3 will work the same way as the OC-2 did and add two octave sounds to the incoming sound. In Drive mode, distortion is added to the sound and in Polyphonic mode, you can add octaved sounds to chords.
Features:
- 3 modes: Drive, Oct2 and Poly
- Separate Bass guitar input
- Direct out for stereo effects
