FS - BOSS OC-2 Octave Pedal

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I have an OC-2, and I will attest to its fineness. In fact, it is the
only octaver in my collection I have had that really sounds right. All
the others (usually in multieffects boxes) sound out of tone. I wrote
to Zoom about it, thinking my unit was defective, and they told me no,
that was normal, in fact inevitable for some technical reason which
did not make much sense to me. Out of phase due to some delay i could
understand, but this is out of tune. The Zoom folks said, that by the
time the signal gets processed, it is actually the guitar that is out
of tune. Huh?

Anyhow, for octave effects I do like the OC2. I just wish that it
could make an octave higher, as well as lower, rather than the double
low octave (which guitar amps have trouble producing.

Have you used the Mutron octave divider? For some reason the frequency divider
units always provided a truer octave (to my ears) than the digital pitch
shifters were capable of.
