The honeymoon period is over and I’m still loving this pedal although it isn’t perfect. Tracking isn’t quite good enough to do ‘ain’t nobody’ live so I’ve gone back to using my oc5 in modern/poly mode for that song. I find the octaver setting on the mxr is good but isn’t a replacement for the OC5.

I’ve just discovered this thread and thought I’d weigh in as I’ve owned an OC2, OC3 and OC5 briefly at the same time! Only the OC5 remains. I couldn’t find a difference in sound between the 2 and 5’s -1 setting apart from a volume difference and better tracking in the 5. I didn’t rate the 3 at all. I also use an EBS OctaBass which tracks terribly but has a great synthy sound and an MXR bass octave deluxe which does the oc2 thing well with an added bonus of being able to blend a modern octaver sound it to give it girth. I’ve tried the Aguilar which I didn’t think has a good sound or tracks well at all. I have a bit of an octaver addiction haha…

Thanks and sorry for the confusion but that’s how I’ve got it set up. The issue is that it’s easy to hit the tiny preset button (next to the four red/green LEDs) when using the main foot switch as an engage/bypass switch. I just need to work on my foot technique!

Ah ok. I’ll have to take another look at the manual, I don’t recall seeing anything about that
