As a bass player, the QC has replaced EVERYTHING on my board with the exception of my analog octave. The pitch effects just don’t do it for me. I know their are a lot of requests for an OC2 style octave pedal, but the recent horrid Line 6 attempt at the OC2 has me weary of requesting a digital attempt of an OC2 style pedal. My go to has always been the MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe, which the Helix does an incredible job of replicating (even though I think their model is actually based on the EBS Bass Octave pedal?). I currently have the Aguilar Octamizer in my QC effects loop. I would love nothing more than to only bring the QC to practice/gigs. Something to give me those full, thunderous lows!
I second that! I just switched to the QC and my OC-5 is not going anywhere for the time being, though I’d love it if it did. Either an OC-2 or and MXR BOD model would be fantastic. I can’t say I’ve tried the Octamiser, though I’ve drooled over a couple before reminding myself I’m try to have fewer pedals! Yes, I have a GAS problem… which the QC has (mostly) cured!

Bumping this. Now that 2.0 (and is fantastic BTW) I think we are all hoping there will be some focus on effects, and as a bass player this would be a great addition.
My reason to return the qc were: HP amp octaver and envelope are not on par with the ones I am used to.
I also wish a better octaver and affects focused on bass !
But I have to say one thing… a lower octave imho sound better when sintetic for scientific reason.
I’m in on this request; the OC2 has been on my pedalboard since the mid nineties while everything else around it has come & gone, would be great to see an accurate model of it included in the QC.
Bumping this one - would love to not need a pedal on the side for this.
I’m honestly shocked that there still isn’t something like this yet. I have a 3 Leaf Octabvre III that I use as an external pedal, but it’d be great if I could bring just the Quad Cortex to some gigs instead of my whole board. It’d also be great if they added a filter knob setting to it too, but even if it was still just the standard OC2 controls I’d be pretty happy
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the sonic difference between the Boss OC2 style and the octave on the QC? I’ve been using the octave on the QC without complaints. How is the one people are requesting better? Does it track faster, etc?
It has a different tone to it
