I guess I didn't set my standards high enough, I really enjoy my OC-2 for 
harp.  Contrary to what others have said about notes being too high for the OC-
2, my experience has been that low notes generate a lot of distortion.  I like 
mine for harps keyed D and higher.  

In another trick I stole from Jason Ricci (only steal from the best!), I 
sometimes use my OC-2 as a distortion unit by turning the octaves all the way 
down and the pass through all the way up, which adds a nice crunch to clean 
amp/mic setups.  

Just my (OC-)2 cents,
