Redesigned output buffer for sonic excellence
Fulltone knows that the pedals you place after your overdrive pedal can influence the sound of your dirt box — that’s why they gave the OCD-Ge an updated output buffer that is impervious to the sonic effects of successive pedals. Said another way, your tone remains consistent no matter where in your chain or loop switcher the OCD-Ge is placed. Fulltone also explains that the output buffer reduces loading on the pedal’s hard-clipping stage, which allows for more sustain.
