I had a MIJ OC-2 and an OC-5 at the same time, and recently sold an Octaver.  None left now though, the Quad Cortex model is perfectly good enough for me

I do, let me plug them in and see what my thoughts are. My gut says that I prefer the OC-2 as that’s just what I tend to grab if I need an octave.

 

I should also add that I have a few OC-2’s and my favourite is an ‘83 Octaver. So they do vary a bit.

Ok, so I've plugged in The OC-5, followed by an '84 'Octave' OC-2 and then an '83 "Octaver' OC-2. All are soloed on the -1 octave (OC-5 in vintage setting on Bass mode)

 

All three are individually powered by a Boss RPW-7 to make sure they all have the correct voltage hitting them.

 

I'm using an MIJ '57 Reissue P bass with worn in flats, tone on full, straight out of the DI of an Ampeg PF800 pre EQ into Logic no processing.

 

Playing around the sweet spot of 7th to 12th fret for the little riff in the demo.

 

I can't feel or perceive any latency from the OC-5, what I can hear is that they all sound a bit different and the OC-5 is much louder due to a better noise floor.
