Boss Octavator? I've never heard of it, and Google didn't turn up much. Can you post a pic or a link of some kind?

Uh... however you want?

It's seriously not a hard pedal to use. Fiddle with it until it sounds good to YOU. Also, if you need the manual for any reason, you can find it on the Roland and Boss websites.

You could even try using the "Guitar" input instead of the bass input. You might like the results better than when using the "Bass" input. Don't worry about low end loss - with the OC-3, that shouldn't be an issue.

For starters, try setting the "mix" (balance of dry signal and octave) to 50/50 (I believe on the OC-3, that'd mean setting the knobs to 12:00). Perhaps dial the +2 octave to zero (IMO, it's overkill). Start with the "Classic" mode (akin to the OC-2) before messing with the other modes.

On a side note... you bumped the thread after only 3 minutes.

Chill out, man. This isn't a life or death situation.

I run in "2 octave" mode with the knobs at 3:00/10:00/7:00 and in Poly-Octave mode at 3:00/10:00/2:00.
