Click image for closeup

Boss' newest octave pedal will be appearing at the Summer NAMM show in Nashville, offering the same sound as the OC-2 plus two new modes of operation - Drive Mode with distortion and Polyphonic Octave Mode - and a dedicated bass input.

The polyphonic octaving is the most significant new feature here, letting you add octaves when playing chords, and not just single notes. Or you can choose the OC-3's Drive Mode which adds a touch of distortion to the octave sounds. And if you're used to the OC-2 sound, the third mode on the pedal will give you just that.
