Solidly built, like all boss pedals. I can't see destroying this any time soon. The one I bought was used, but I'd be hard pressed to find any sign of use on the thing. This does pretty much all I wanted it to, and does it okay. Keep in mind I am using it for bass. The 1 octave setting is full and rich. Don't really have any complaints. The 2 octave setting is a little ... I don't know ... warbly. It sounds like it is shaky. Like it can't handle producing both octaves at the same time. Which is a little bit of a bummer for the use I intended it for. The drive setting is actually quite good. It has a full overdrive sound and I actually like it. I was shocked. Hell, if I could use it in conjunction with the octave 2 effect, I probably wouldn't even use another drive. The poly setting seems worthless to me. Even playing chords on it still doesn't sound very good. It is to digital sounding. Just fake. Not really into this setting, but I didn't buy it because of it anyways. Overall a good pedal, especially for the prices they can be had on here. If you're thinking about one, don't hesitate to pick one up.Read full review
Watch You-tube examples of this pedal (Boss OC-2) to see if this is the sound you like. If it is then Boss pedals are simple and very well made. Metal case that will last many years. Pedals that they don't make any more are always a little expensive. The newer modal the Boss OC-3, is not the same pedal.

This octave pedal has a very rich organic natural octave effect, right on the money ... synth sound is unique and also right on the money! My favorite octave pedal by far.

Even though the OC-2 doesn't have all the features of the OC-3, it has all that you need. It is really a very versitale and fun pedal to add to your collection. If you use it properly it tracks your playing very well and can make your guitar sound like George Benson. Put it at the very front of the chain. Works great for laying down Bass patterns when using it with the BOSS Loop station.
Thought id try this older analog, as I passed on it years ago. I wasn't surprised at its performance. Its very slow on the uptake and needs a special studio/player situation. When playing live I found it very annoying and simply switched off. RE-CAP.. If possible try to play before buying so it meets your 'paticular' needs. tx
