      Is it possible for the H90 to do that Boss OC pedal trick where a low octave is only applied to the E and A strings leaving the rest of the strings unaffected? I don’t see a “range” setting anywhere in the pitch algorithms thus far. This would be to add some low end while comping chords – ala Gilad Hekselman.

      Nope, it’s not possible currently. It’s the reason i still have my OC5 on my board, love that feature when doing jazz guitar duo stuff.

      Only trick I can suggest is creating a chain where a Low Pass Filter can harshly filter out higher notes, but feed the octaver to shift down only the lower end it receives. Its something I’ve done a few times in a DAW with stock Reaper pitch shift and not sure if it will be as clean, nor whether OC-5 does anything like that (I expect its more complex) but its pretty effective when I have done it! I believe its more a trick off bass boosters on old hi-fis without muddying up things at least

      You can try Sculpt in Stereo Mode – Split.  It won’t be a perfect match, but you can independently post-process each channel downstream.

      Adjust the Crossover Frequency between Low & High Drive (with or without much drive added in either band).  Tweak the Band Mix to taste.

      Bonus wah via envelope or expression, if desired.

      Clever ideas. I will try to give it a go. Thanks!
