Notes Concerning Use of the OC-3
Please observe the following points to enjoy stable operation of the OC-3.
❍
Except when set to POLY mode (p. 7), the OC-3
is a monophonic-input effects processor. Take
care not to play chords with monophonic input.
In addition, if playing a note while another note
is currently being played, be sure to completely
mute the previous note before playing the sub-
sequent note.
❍
Connect the OC-3 directly to the guitar or bass
output.
Furthermore, simultaneously using a compres-
sor or limiter with the OC-3 provides even more
stable performance. In such setups, connect the
OC-3 to the output of the compressor or limiter.
❍
Turn down the guitar or bass tone when playing
in the lower registers or if the OC-3 is output-
ting sounds incorrectly.
❍
Switching to the guitar or bass’s front pickup
(the pickup closest to the instrument’s neck) is
recommended for performances using the OC-3.
Additionally, humbucking pickups provide
more stable operation than single-coil pickups.
❍
When the OC-3 is used in POLY mode (p. 7), the
volume of the octave sound starts to drop above
the 5th fret of the 1st string when used with gui-
tars (when connected to GUITAR IN), and
above the 14th fret of the 1st string when used
with basses (when connected to BASS IN). We
recommend using OCT2 mode (p. 7) if such
high registers are to be used extensively.
❍
Using the OC-3 in POLY mode (p. 7) provides a
more stable octave sound than in other modes.
