0175westwood29 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've seen a lot of players using the octaves recently so wondered if there is a big difference between them but what do you guys think? Was able to borrow a octaver of a fellow bassist for this demo. https://youtu.be/eveBwMRqq2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I can't really hear much of a difference there. I would think that any difference would be inaudible as soon as other instruments kicked in. Thanks for the vid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 They sound identical, I thought the Octaver was note sought after because of the rarity of the extra letter, not the tone. Some argue of differences between the Taiwan and Japan versions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I still prefer my T65 Real world difference between OC-2 "R" and "non-R" clearly is zero. Good news then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Any difference is due to natural differences in components used. Two none-R versions will sound as different as an R and none-R. They are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] totally agree, close mic'd like this you might hear something but in a live context i actually think the cog octaves, even the oc-3 dare i say sound not to far away. love the Oc2 Octave i have and its a keeper but for live use it would take something special to take the T70 of.

Sibob Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 For those that aren't aware, the OC-2 circuit has never ever changed. A very minor component change (not relating to a part of the circuit that creates the tone) and that's it. As mentioned, any changes would simply be because of brand of components or something inconsequential like that. So no, no OC-2s really sound different. The difference is price really are just because there were less of the OctaveR model made, and again, less Japanese ones in general made compared to the Taiwanese. From there, even the Taiwanese versions are sought after simply because they aren't made anymore. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
