I would say the OC-5 has more bottom end (and considerably more volume) than the OC-2. Its a smoother octave, which some might prefer. To my ears, the OC-2 has something more going on in the mid frequencies that makes it seem fuller, even if it doesn’t go as deep as the OC-5. It’s a considerable step up from the OC-3, but I’m going to stay hoping for an OC-2w...

Mine just arrived today so running some comparisons... It’s a fun pedal, but still OC-2 > OC-5

Not done with the Markbass, but check out around 5:38 in this video. It’s a similar Moog-ish Bass tone. Afraid I’ve no idea re the programming of the Super Synth, but you want to be looking for an octave down, light gain, a downward filter and (maybe) chorus. Interested to hear how it turns out!

Initial thoughts are that the Octabvre nails the OC-2 tone and feel, but that was really expected. Surprise was how close the Valeton is too. The MXR is close, tone-wise, but the ‘improved’ tracking makes it play slightly differently. However, it has its own thing going on and I actually prefer it to the Boss with the Oct-1 soloed. Any other recommendations for OC-2-alikes...?

Well, my OC-5 is delayed, but other tryouts are going well...

They certainly sound pretty close, but it’s hard to tell until you can hear how it reacts to the dynamics of your playing...

Yeah, I ordered from Andertons too, but I think GAK and all the rest are showing as unavailable at the moment too.

Still waiting on mine to be dispatched...

OC-2 from April 1982 still working perfectly here!
