It can make a guitar sound fuller, create bass-like low notes, and produce synth-like tones. Unlike a pedal designed primarily to change your instrument's tuning, the OC-5 layers octave sounds with your original signal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoly mode: Adds octave notes to chords as well as individual notes.
