Product Description
Classic OD tones in a compact pedal with simple, no-fuss operation. Along with standard Volume, Drive, and Tone controls, the OCD's HP/LP (High Peak/Low Peak) switch takes the pedal from a clean boost to manic, sustain-laden distortion. True bypass switching. The Fulltone OCD V2 (Obsessive Compulsive Drive) overdrive pedal packs classic OD tones into a compact pedal with simple, no-fuss operation. From heavy crunch rich with overtones and feedback to spanky cleans, the OCD delivers the sounds of a great tube amp, as sell as the same sensitivity and response to your playing style. Along with standard Volume, Drive, and Tone controls, the OCD V2's HP/LP (High Peak/Low Peak) switch takes the pedal from a clean boost to manic, sustain-laden distortion. True bypass switching. Some notable V2 updates to the classic OCD: -Output buffer (when pedal is turned on in True-Bypass mode, or always when in Enhanced Bypass mode), which eliminates it from being influenced by effects that came after it. Translation: Your sound remains consistent regardless of placement in today’s more complex signal-chains, loopers and pedalboards. This buffer also had a positive effect on the sound, it reduced loading on the pedal’s hard-clipping stage, allowing more sustain of both the sound and the overtones. -Class A configured discrete 2N5457 JFET input section, raising the input impedance to 1 mega ohms (previously 330K) and increasing the dynamics. This results in significantly better interaction with both single-coil and humbuckers. -Internal switch to choose between ”Enhanced Bypass” and True-Bypass, and with no popping sound in either mode. Visual Changes The Fulltone OCD V2 has slightly smaller “OCD” and “Fulltone” logos, along with “Built in the USA” under the Fulltone logo. Next, the In and Out jacks are placed exactly at the halfway point of the left and right sides on V2, whereas with all previous versions the jacks were located more toward the bottom.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Now I'll admit, I originally purchased the Joyo clone of this pedal thinking that there would be no discernable difference in performance.
Well, now I've bit the bullet after comparing the OCD to the Joyo and found that just like Coca-Cola, "nothing beats the real thing"
The pedal gain goes from adding a light, but fat tone and some crunch, to all out, in your face, high gain with the turn of a knob.
The toggle switch will allow you to increase gain in the mid frequency and below, or the full range of sound.
The tone knob is basically a high pass so you're basically rolling off the high end by turning it counter-clockwise.
Tone is subjective so I'll stop at saying that to me, the full range of tone is probably useful to someone, somewhere, but I usually have mine turned all the way up.
The pedal is built like a tank like all Fulltone equipment. The knobs feel and turn like quality pots should, the footswitch feels fanstastic, the 1/4" jack inputs feel like they are high quality as well.
So you may ask, "What was the big difference between the Joyo and Fulltone?"
Well, in a nutshell, it was everything i just described. The tone, gain , switches and pots all just sounded and felt like something of much higher quality. Something that was worthy to be on a pro board as opposed to a novice board.
So if you want quality and want "the real thing", get the Fulltone OCD and you won't ever have to look back and wonder.
To say "this pedal is great" or "this pedal sucks" without considering the guitar and amp being used as well is absurd.
The guitar and amp you use plays a huge role in the sound of any OD pedal so make sure you consider those factors.
Even better - this is a GREAT overdrive AND distortion pedal - so responsive to guitar volume and tone settings and picking dynamics. I had no idea that an OD could sound this natural. It is quiet and the operation of the knobs is smooth and sure. I also invested in an 18 volt power supply after a few weeks of playing. 9 volts are fine but 18 opens it up and makes it sing.
I still love my Boss - when I want my fiddle to scream. But to lay down the groove, the OCD rules.
I have quite a few, the older 1.4 as well.
A good overdrive, can really crunch, scream, clean drive.
They have however moved the input jacks up to the center of the pedal, which depending on the layout of your pedal board and what precedes and follows, could be a good thing or a bad thing.
I like that the OCDs have a red LED (Hate having my retinas fried by blue LED) and also that they work competently on a 9v battery whhen you are keeping it simple.
