Boss OC-2 question.

[patzilla83]

I have a MIJ octaver and a later MIJ octave, but only the octaver powers up like the OP is saying. I used to have a MIT octave that didn't and my OC-3 doesn't either.

Hmm, my oc-2 (taiwan) doesn't. I do remember first one I had doing that...
Once read once the only diffeance in the MIJ vs tai oc2s' is the power supply that may explain it.

My OC2 (Taiwan) doesn't either. My original MIJ pedal did. I have the exact same experience with mine as you.

My Boss Flanger does this. Kind of annoying, but no biggie in the big picture of things.

Mine is a MIT OC-2. Not a big deal, just out of the four pedals I have this is the only one that turns on by it's self when I power up my board.
Thanks for all of your responses.

Yeah, requires a bit of a tap dance right when setting up, but I suppose I'm used to it now. I actually don't run the BF-3 on my main board anymore (nor the OC-2 for that matter) so I don't always have to do this, but for years I did, and the BF-3 often makes my primary satellite board and mini acoustic board, so I still do this. It's second nature now.

I keep mine in a loop. No problem. Unless I hit the meatbox on that's in the same loop

LOL, that'd sound interesting to say the least!! Anyways judging from other people's experience it sounds like they had something wired differently depending on the era?! I dunno, it's not a big deal really! LOL

MIJ here. Mine defaults to on. Power up, turn it off, start the gig.
