DanOwens Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) I used this pedal on a board for a few years then put it in my home studio. I tried a few other octavers, but this just had that low-mid presence that I think most of us imagine when we think of the octave effect. Then I realised that it said ‘Octave’ and not ‘Octaver’, and that the label said ‘Made in Japan’. Now I know that the guts of this aren’t that different to what is being made today, but I checked serial number and this is from 1987. This a true vintage Boss Octave pedal and the prices on Reverb for these is insane. I’ve no interest in charging ridiculous amounts, but I mean it when I say that compared to other octavers on the market this is a cut above for that classic octave tone. Since I play mostly jazz guitar nowadays, I’ve decided to let this go. I could probably leave it on my shelf for a few more years and then engage with the pedal collectors, but I’ve got a conservatory roof to replace!! I live in Kendal in the Lake District and my daughter lives in Bolton so I’m regularly around these locations and I’m happy to meet someone around these areas; I’ll drive a reasonable distance if it means saving us both the hassle of shipping the items. If you’d rather have the item shipped then I would ask that the buyer arranges this. I can drop off at a suitable collection point, and I work from home if the item is to be collected. In such a case, I will ensure that the item is properly packaged with polystyrene or bubblewrap and I’ll make a trip to Curry’s to get suitable box or to assemble one if the item is too large. I’ll have quite a few items up for sale over the next few weeks and I’ll also be advertising them on other sources, so please let me know if you’re interested and I can ensure that other adverts are taken down as I don’t want to disappoint anyone.
