BOSS OC-5 Demo 3 Cool Octave Tricks

[@elmolewis9123]

So glad to see you've recovered from your accident and playing as great as ever. Terrific demo and I'm impressed with the tracking of the Boss unit.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate, yes finally I feel enough improvement to start playing properly again, it's been a long time coming.... Cheers for stopping by, all the best 👍

[@vicferrari89]

I love it when I stumble across YT and find great players demoing pedals of any kind. I have and love this pedal. Thanks for posting, interesting, informative, and entertaining! Subscribed and two thumbs up!

[@TMoody]

Came for the pedal, stayed for the playing. Smokin'!

[@BOSSinfoglobal]

Amazing!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you John I appreciate that, I always like to come up with new ideas for every video.. trying to keep my mind fresh. ;-) Thx for watching.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Excellent demo and your playing is awesome. Handy pedal, I must say. Reassuring West Country twang too, especially as I grew up in Brizzle. 😀

[@westofsunday2779]

Dude...you freaking shred! So humbled by watching your playing. And the pedal is pretty cool too...

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

[@LukeDickins0n]

Now I know my next purchase 😃

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Awesome I'm sure you'll love it... Thanks for stopping by. All the best ;)

[@oneman49instruments]

Really clear tutorial, thaaanks from Barcelona

[@Mordred478]

I also always love the way Joe Satriani uses an octave pedal, and the way Jack White used to with White Stripes.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Yes mate both great exponents of the Octave pedal... 👍

[@SteveSecateur]

Thanx for your beautiful vids. Regards from France 🙏🏻

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

My pleasure Steve, thank you for watching. All the very best 👍😎

[@DrMuseclectic]

Very nice! You just sold me the Boss OC-5.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Awesome mate, I'm sure you'll have fun with it.. All the best 👍🎸

[@DrMuseclectic]

@@AlexHutchingsMusic Thanks Chief. Tried to buy one today but ‘out of stock’(!) Just to ask: Is that some kind of a ‘mirror’ finish on the Ibanez you play ca. 3:33? It’s very very nice!

[@chriscortez7010]

so cool!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you Chris. 👍😎

[@chriscortez7010]

welcome idol!

[@andreasschmidt1555]

Thanx for that groovy clip! What kind of the telecaster are you playing in that „low note octave“-part?😌

[@rogercampos7542]

Alex, fantastic.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you Roger. 👍

[@chordshape8753]

Thanks Alex

[@AhmedAli-jx7eh]

[@jtmarinuk]

Amazing playing and tones !!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Cheers Mate. Thx for watching. 😉👍

[@ShaneGelven]

as always, awesome

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you Shane, Cheers! 👍😎

[@AdamIronside]

Ridiculous playing as usual. Very cool, I really like the lowest note feature.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Hey Cheers Adam, hope all's well. 👍

[@AdamIronside]

@@AlexHutchingsMusic Likewise mate. Just watching this again, again. The octave up trick on those bends is great, really screams.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

@@AdamIronside Cheers man, yeah I thought it was cool when I stumbled upon it too... great pedal. ;-)

[@JamesJLaRue]

I hope they bring the lowest-note mode to the GT-1000 and Core.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Yeah man that would be cool... Although if I'm not mistaken I believe you can use the range control which is pretty useful. But you never know I guess they could do in future updates.. Cheers for watching mate.

[@BuddhaKeith]

Brilliant Thanks !

If companies wanna hire their pedals to be demoed, it will be Alex.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Cheers RigRev... All the best 👍😎

[@gregdolecki8530]

OC-2 used on Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer.

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

NOT bad --BOSS OC5 -----sometimes sounds rather weak ---ZOOM pedal has the best octavider& is the best !by far !

[@jxshgamez4773]

Hey Alex I have some question about guitar like what tips would you give to a new electric guitar player to get started on picking faster( Alternative picking?)

[@althewicked]

Man you play like a f..ing genius

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you so much man, much appreciated. 👍🎸🙏

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

What was that at 4:56?!!!

[@AMP-gh4vt]

Great demo! What kind of pickups are on your electric tele guitar?

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Cheers mate. They are Dimarzio Tele pickups. 👍🎸🙏

[@MichaelSmith-jj6tb]

Hey Alex, Very smart demo mate. I've just eliminated the 2nd guitarist for harmony melody and getting it thick as a 3 pc band. Cheers Michael (have you tried out the Boss Harmonist, seems like its a bit overkill and a hassles for a live gig, your thoughts for live.)

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate, Glad you enjoyed it. Yes Ive had used the Harmonist.... I think it is good but the PS-6 is now quite old so it may be worth looking around to see what modern options are available now... All the best mate and thanks for watching 👍

[@gilbertoblues]

Great!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thc Gabriele. 👍

[@MelodyMakerNick]

Tip: Holding the bass face while changing settings, is essential for the tone to work properly.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Totally. 👍😎

Thanks so much mate I'm glad you enjoyed it.... I'm afraid I'm not very good at doing Tabs... sorry mate... Thanks very much for watching though... All the best 👍🎸🙏

[@boujee.pavlov681]

@@AlexHutchingsMusic You are welcome. Idk why I said tabs, i meant just close up camera shot on both hands, of course if you have time, cheers.

[@birhanugobena2401]

Hello brother am really your fun, the way you play the guitar it's perfect and i have learned a lot of things and if you are happy in wanna contact you how can i get you?

[@Musicislife668]

No need for a bass player

[@Speed13Controle]

Nice vid! Are you only using a guitar amp?

[@officialgreenson4201]

i only meet once this honored guy in hollywood music house,borneo,malaysia.first time meet with him,he was demonstrating boss products.the way he play is really touching,full of musicality.it was a important moment in my life,change my playing style too.i got my guitar sign by him too!😊😁.thanks mr.alex!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thanks for your kind words mate, I love Borneo, what an amazing place. I remember hollywood music well, I hope to catch you there again some day. All the best 😎

[@vitorgarcia8022]

What is the song at 4:19

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Hi mate this is a little ditty I came up with years ago, here's a version for you to check out. Moonlight Dance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpDXm3dredBpY8k Thanks for watching, 👍

[@StupidEarthlings]

this dudes playing is pretty bada$$. But how are these "tricks"? arent they standard ways to use an octave pedal? Just sayin.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate, I was trying to pitch this for beginners that perhaps don't know how to use an Octave pedal, so essentially maybe I should've titled it 3 ways to use an Octave pedal? I'd also say the high octave is quite unique sounding to this pedal and the Lowest note feature is also pretty cool. Either way cheers for watching and all the best 👍

[@DreidMusicalX]

Sounds like the FX35 Octoplus by DOD back in the day. I loved this pedal back in the 90's hitting it with distortion. By the way, I love your Ibanez. I have a silver 2000 Custom Japan model 550 that had the chrome pickguard, but mine in silver metal flake and not chrome like your Gem. Thats badass!

[@PokeFreak499]

Someone needs to get me the tab to that chromatic lick he play at like 3:40 right now. That shit is so stinky

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Haha thank you mate. No tab unfortunately but I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍 🎸 🙏

[@daedrmr2dae]

Absolutely amazing... and that pedal's not bad either!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Haha, cheers mate. Thanks for watching 👍🎸

[@zenswrd7815]

Best demo I’ve seen of this pedal yet! Saw Alex on tour with Steven Wilson, fantastic player!

[@brCharlieNagy]

Excellent demo 😊 Did you experience any latency or sound issues ? Thanks

[@MrPrairigh]

Honestly, Alex is such a fine guitar player, he makes any box sound great.

[@markcrisostomo108]

Excellent demo! As always the guitar playing is super high level! Cheers!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thanks Mark 👍🎸🙏

[@gilwe]

I play for 40 years and still can't quite get the scales you're demonstrating here. Any suggestion as for where to start or look at?

[@alexismalicsi3814]

May i know what song or riff did you play on 2:57 its sounds music to my ears. I love that riff.

[@jlthewell]

Pedals are great but your playing is amazing dude. Respect and thanks. Buying that. I like that lowest note mode. Who needs to comp right ?

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you so much mate, must appreciated. I hope you'll have great fun with it. 👍🎸🙏

[@sascha8669]

What the... seems as its not the OC-5, that does the real great work here 😅

[@Fedethedangerous95]

I would never have thought you could use an octaver in so many ways

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Cheers Federico. Thx for watching. ;-)

[@deekod1967]

Great info and amazing performance 👏👏👏

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@BenjaminKeller]

I watched this just for the faces 😂

[@loschaller]

Yeah man! Killer playing! Very cool pedal, so many cool sounds… next time you're my Bass player! ;-)

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

HAhaha thanks man, yeah it was fun to play with this one... Well I will do it if Abe is not available... 😂

[@Paolo-xn3po]

nice palying!

[@VincVEVO]

Yes. Very nice video. I am thinking about this stompbox now looks cool. Thanks. ;)

[@thepiperofsimms9974]

Nice ! Thank you Alex from Yuma, Arizona USA

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

My pleasure I'm glad you enjoyed the video. All the best

[@noisefrequency]

Master...

[@ymelfilm]

Dont care much about the pedal but at cca 3:59 there is a solo and I ask myself: why do ppl still listen to a Steve Vai or a Satriani. Guthrie,Alex,Matteo, Julien Lage - some of the new Masters

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thanks Attlia, thats very kind of you to say. All the best to you

[@ymelfilm]

@@AlexHutchingsMusic glad to hear from you. I v been listening to your playing for some years. Loved eg. that Cantalope Island you did somewhere in the East among many of ur great solos. Wish I could hear an online jam among you guys mentioned above or any others who really make sense nowadays! All the Best, keep safe in this crazy year!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

@@ymelfilm Thank you mate, yes that was a jam from Thailand with some really cool guys, a great memory. In fact I also played in Thailand with Matteo Mancuo last year it was also a great night. I really appreciate the kind words and wish you the best for the new yeaR. Cheers for now. ;-)

[@danaeverhart6487]

1310 th view My good friend! I hope you are well! Sometime if you get a chance, I would love you to show us your set up of your guitars! Like string height @ the 12th off the fret on both bass and treble side, the relief clearance @ the 7th or 8th, and @ the 1st for the nut clearance. This information would be stellar for us to set up our guitars, best wishes for the upcoming Holidays! Dana

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you Dana, yes good idea perhaps I'll attempt to do a video on this in the future all the very best 👍😉

[@KolodziejczykKuba]

Excellent playing!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate 👍🎸🙏

[@g4guitarschoolsoxnardventu805]

Has anyone tried using the BOSS OC-5 with an acoustic guitar? I am trying to isolate the lowest note of my chords to pretty much have the sound of a bass playing along with me. But, it sounds pretty muddy and even sometimes has a strange delay like sound as if I had a delay pedal on. The volume is also all over the place. I was thinking that if I put a compressor in the chain that will help this problem. What do you guys think?

[@alguitarchristie]

Great demo and amzing playing dude!

[@ZipoArrouy]

Great!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thx mate. 👍

[@StevenVincentSings]

i'm finding the root note mode is a bit quirky, It works best when finger picking but strumming chords its un reliable, I'm disappointed about that but I work around it. Nice review.

[@RamonZarete]

Great demo, great playing 👌👌

Thx mate 👍🙏🎸

[@shaanbarbette1498]

Salut je voudrais faire des loop basse/guitare mais pour éviter d'investir dans un deuxième instrument je pensais prendre cette pédale. Tu penses que c'est une stratégie viable ? Notamment pour les sons ou la ligne de basse est la même que la ligne guitare par exemple Beat it de MJ.. J'ai l'impression que ca ne remplace pas la note jouée par la note une octave en dessous par exemple mais ca les superpose. C'est aussi possible de simplement de la remplacer? pour entendre uniquement la note grave? Merci !
