Fusing classic BOSS octave tones with the latest tracking technologies, the BOSS OC-5 sets a new standard in octave pedal performance.

From fat, low mono sounds to octave-shifted chords and more, the OC-5 delivers the widest range, finest sound quality, and best playability in any octave stomp to date.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you set it to bass the two low guitar strings (E & A strings) only?**
A: Can set the range know so those strings are effected or set range so the lowest note is effected.  I prefer that setting which is unique to the OC-5.

**Q: Does it work well with a bass?**
A: Not sure why someone would want to put bass on top of bass, but for guitar, this pedal is a major break-through. Now I can play guitar and sing - with the BOS - OC5 playing bass for me.

**Q: Power cable?**
A: This pedal can be operated by either a 9 volt battery or using a Boss brand PSA ac dc adapter. It can also be powered off the Boss TU-3 pedal with a BOSS daisy chain cable and PSA AC adapter.

**Q: With a baritone ukulele, would the poly & lowest settings simulate bass accompaniment ok?**
A: Not sure what frequency range a baritone uke is, but for guitar, the new BOS - OC5 Poly mode plays great bass for you while you are playing your guitar and singing.
