Dude, I love the hard delay sounds of Boss DDs.

I also like the slapback of the digital stuff....

in a interesting bugger...
I got it because it is one of the few expression pedals I know of that has two outs. it is a different pot value then the moog ones though and I had a fun time dialing it in with my mf-101, in some ways it has a better throw but also the damn top volume knob is involved between the knobs on the moog and the knob on the pedal you can really fine tune this thing more then any passive ex pedal I have found so far :thumb:

My OC-2 came in the mail today. At first I was pretty unimpressed with the tracking but I figured out that it tracks much better on the neck pickup with the tone rolled off the same way a Tone Machine or something would

Here's a brief noodly clip with it paired with my Buzzaround

Sorry for my lack of a sick power stance

Ryan Summit: I was initially pretty disappointed with the OC-2. The thing is you really have to adjust your playing style to get the most out of it. Palm muting low notes helps a lot as well as only playing the lower strings above the twelfth fret. It still sounds super low since you get that second octave down but it tracks wayy better.

For me the d at the tenth fret is about as low as I can go with good tracking. Chords of any kind are a total no go.

This is my first day with it and with a fuzz running into it mind you. I'm sure I'll discover some different behavior as I play with it more

Ha I was kinda hoping you'd flip yours but was way too impatient. If its in much better condition than mine I'd probly be down anyways depending on the price if you do sell.

I hope you just like it and use it though



Oh yeah and I bought a PS-5 off the b/s/t here last night for a pretty sweet price as well. So stoked for that to come in!

I also picked up a PS-5 recently and it's really fun. Trem Arm mode is just silly fun and the harmonizing mode is crazy cool when it glitches out but is still kind of in key. -2 octaves don't really work well on the lower register of my bass but oh well; it didn't work very well on the POG2 either which "tracks" better, so I couldn't expect much.
