had one for awhile and then i dunno, i wanted to try something else and at first wanted a semaphore, then ended up with a boss slicer
definitely a rad pedal but i only used the more traditional tremolo settings on it
my m9 had a pattern tremolo i always enjoyed using
saw the polypus had that and a bunch of other stuff
bought it blindly and have enjoyed my decision thus far
i'm probably going to sound a little pompous or full of myself here
but i've realized that it's the small details of a pedal that helps me decide whether or not i want to use it
meaning, everything i have on my board right now is voiced(how they sit in with a mix) very well.
i don't know if that means tone or what, but this is something i've been reminding myself.
Having the awareness and knowledge of self to identify what you like about something and
why is far from pompous.
It means you have taste and you're passionate about it, and this shiz in general
Getting everything to fit into a mix (without clashing) is kinda like bagging groceries, heh
Yep. Great comment.
So I bought a MIJ Boss OC-2 for €55 locally. It's really good. I see why it's so famed and treasured round these parts. The buffer is also surprisingly pleasing. It adds a shimmer on top of the lower octaves. The pedal sounds so fucking mean before my BAT Revelation. It's pure mayhem. Great for slow Doom. Tracking is solid and chordal work is even possible.

i've had an OC-3 up for sale for months with zero interest. is there that much difference in the two?

Yeah, so I hear. I can't tell you what the difference is internally, but there is apparently something 'magical' about the OC-2 that people go ga-ga for. Maybe someone else will know more and chime in.

In my experience the OC-3 has lots of extra features that are kind of pointless (the poly mode that barely works and the drive mode that sounds like ass). Then since I'm pretty the pedal is digital, the OC-2 mode doesn't really glitch out like the older one does.

Amazing board.
Some more amazing boards here too anyway.
To chime in on the OC-2 vs OC-3 thing, I think they sound very different and knowing the OC-3 is digital I must say I was quite surprised by it.
I found the fuzz/drive setting especially cool because it gives a bit of lag so I could get some great cello type sounds out of it (on just the OC-3 itself).
That octave down sub bass on chords can be pretty cool too, it only works in a certain range but it's a cool feature.
For regular fat and synthy octave down I really prefer the OC-2 though, I love that thing and I think I'll never sell it.

thanks for the takes guys! (except for how you're tempting me to check out an OC-2 now too...
)

They can be found pretty cheap. Mine was $40 at GC.

They are two totally different pedals. The poly mode is of course DSP, and I don't know whether the OC-2 mode is analogue, but I can't see the logic in Boss creating a dual analogue/DSP pedal - seems the market for glitched out octaves is kinda ILF specific haha.

Got a Harmonic Percolator, built by our very own Officer Bukowski last night in the mail. It rips so hard! Sounds completely different from the one I made back earlier in the year! Total ripping fuzz/distortion to light squishy boost/drive. I totally dig it. Anyways, this is what I was jamming before bed last night:
Polytune -> Perc -> Shimverb -> GB24 -> Mini -> RV3. Was INTENSE as hell...

HP-1
My own fav setting is Harmonics (Input Gain) dimed, Balance (Output Gain) around 85%.
Guitar volume stays around 7-8, occasionally getting rolled up for some real
because it's as interactive with Vol knob as a FF and/or MK1.5 'Bender...and beckons to be first in the chain, as I'm sure you've discovered
Prob my fav dirtbox of all time, def in the top 3.

I built a reverb for him a while back and he built me this for it! I'm not sure how much he would charge!
@rustywire- This thing gets heavy as hell! Sounds heavier than the one I made for whatever reason, but I'm totally okay with that haha. Guitar volume on 10, Mini set with just a bit of hair and a beefy EQ to send it into that DAYUM territory.
I still want to try it at the end of the chain for kicks
