Fulltone OCD V2 Overdrive Pedal Overview
The Fulltone OCD V2 Overdrive is a pedal that takes the many iterations of the original OCD V1 and adds a brand-new buffered output to bring a better dynamic range and responsiveness to the table. The OCD V1 was acknowledged for its open and dynamic overdrive sound, and the V2 takes this a step further with a new 'Class A' buffer to give a fuller tone and complex array of overtones, similar to the way that older preamps were used to add harmonic 'polish'.
This gives you the sound of a cranked tube amplifier, no matter how loud your amp is set. It also responds hugely to player dynamics and guitar volume control adjustments so that - just like an amp would - it can clean up simply by adjusting your technique or guitar dials. If you're looking for a dynamic and open-sounding overdrive pedal that responds extremely well to subtle nuance and provides you with a range of harmonic content, then look no further than the Fulltone OCD V2.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe Fulltone OCD
The original OCD pedal was regarded for its clear and amp-like response with dynamic overdriven tones. The V2 incarnation adds a new ‘Class A’ buffer to the mix. This ensures enhanced harmonic traits, much like the way preamps can be used to improve a guitar’s overall signal and responsiveness.
Classic overdrive tones
The Fulltone OCD V2 Overdrive is a dynamic guitar pedal featuring a HP/LP switch to give you the ability to change the response from a more ‘British’ feel with increased mid-range and break-up, to a cleaner signal that is ideal for use as a clean booster into an already overdriven signal chain. It also includes tone, volume and drive controls to sculpt your sound exactly how you pair – enabling you to utilise the pedal to its full capabilities. This Fulltone offering is more than versatile enough to be used either as an out-and-out heavy overdrive sound through a cleaner boost that can complement your existing setup.
Enhanced buffer
The Fulltone OCD V2 features a switchable buffer, giving you the choice of a true bypass operation or the new ‘enhanced bypass’ feature. This was developed to provide a fuller tone with additional harmonic character that is incredibly sympathetic and faithful to the natural or existing tone of your guitar. If you’re familiar with the way that guitarists used the Echoplex EP-3 for its preamp alone, you’ll find a similar response with the Fulltone OCD V2, and the dynamic range of your playing will be increased with no tone-loss through long cable runs.
A brand new circuit
The Fulltone OCD V2 accomplishes its tube-like distortion through the unusual combination of overdriving its JFET op-amp and then hard-clipping with a pair of MOSTFETs later on in the circuit. This circuit works well with a vast array of guitars and amps. What’s more, because of its large amount of available output volume, the OCD works great a booster in front of amps, as well as through Master-Volume amps to drive them much harder than most overdrive pedals can. It also excels at creating its own distortion with all the chime of a Class A amp and its complex array of overtones.
