"I love my BOSS OC-2!"
.. I'm a Bass player from the UK.. and the BOSS OC-2 was the first proper effects pedal that I bought way back in 1992. And it still survives on my pedal board to this day.. why? It's a very 'musical' pedal.. the key to getting the best out of it is 1. be subtle.. start with both OCT1/2 fully anti-clock wise and slowly turn each of them clockwise until you get the sound you like. (I usually have the 'Direct Level' up to almost full).. 2. locate it close to the front of your chain, as it tends to track a little better.. and you may also find it tracks better with Passive, rather than Active pick ups. 3. It can make the sound of other pedals 'thicker' and 'fuller' (those are technical terms!).. The OC-2* is often copied, and whilst it's not perfect, it's very popular with Bass players! *not to be confused with the OC-3; this is NOT an updated version of the OC-2.

Boss OC-2 Octave Pedal Customer Review
Sound
Doesn't track even single lines well. The pitch shifter pedal sounds much better and it also works with chords, so why use an octave pedal when there's the alternative way?
