1982 Boss OC-2 Octaver (light brown, very early example) - *SOLD*
£249

I've changed my mind on this a dozen times over the last few weeks.  I'm a digital Quad Cortex fella and I think the new OC-2 model on there, whilst definitely not having the magic of this (see my comments in the Quad Cortex thread), is good enough for me and my (very sporadic) needs to struggle to justify keeping this.

 

The serial number dates this one back to June 1982, so in the first few months of production.  I bought 5 different OC-2s last year in search of one that tracked and sounded the best to pair with my Chunk synth, and this won out over other Japanese and Taiwanese models, its everything you want an OC-2 to sounds like.  Rubbery, glitchy, deep and wonderful.

 

Condition as photographed, in great condition, grommet intact, label intact, just some scratches but otherwise great and works perfectly.  Remember this is an ACA pedal so it wants 12v from a psu, but it still takes a 9v battery.  It doesn't come in a box, but will be well packed for shipping.

 

Price includes next day courier.  Will sell abroad for additional actual postage costs, and would suggest insurance too.  In no huge rush to sell. Trade wise i'm only really looking at a Sushi Box valve DI at the moment, otherwise cash is king.

 

Cheers

Have you done a QC capture of this?

Nope, wouldn't be much point. It could only capture the "tone" of the Oc-2 and not the effect, so you'd have to combine it with their pitch shift block, which would produce an altogether much less accurate version of an OC-2 than their full model does.

Nice! I have a 17XXXX serial and you can’t beat these early ones. GLWTS!
