Very cool! Now with octave up function as well. And they use the black faceplate and the standard black knobs. YESSSS! Finally the '90s look again!
I hope they improved the range of the poly mode. Sad thing that they ditched the dirt mode. That's one of the coolest functions of the OC-3.
Oh, and there's a mode switch for guitar or bass on the back.

There's a Pocket GT too:

They don't seem to have updated their website properly yet though so not sure if there's anything else new.

I was just also looking for a "new products" page, but there's nothing.
Any information yet when the OC-5 will come out? I might like to buy it as soon as possible so that my demo could be among the first ones.

Agree on both accounts. Love the classic look, hopefully more look like this. also would have liked the dirt pedal feature... I'm wondering if maybe even in mono mode the upper octave could potentially be a green ringer / octavia style?

From the sample sounds it doesn't seem to be a Green Ringer. It's a very straight-forward octave up pitch shifter sound.

A link at ilovefuzz directed me to gearslutz and there they have an official text that says: "The BOSS OC-5 will be available for $129.99 in late September 2020."

The Andertons website in the UK was saying they were expecting stock on the 28th of September when I looked yesterday.
