Fulltone OCD was the first pedal to use Mosfets as clipping devices. Another first was their configuration as “hard clippers connected to v-ref” instead of to ground, as was the norm. These things contribute greatly as to why the OCD has such touch-sensitivity.
This pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Fulltone IPS-9 9-volt adapter, or Fulltone IPS-18, 18-volt power adapter (power supply not included).
The Fulltone OCD has received many slight tweaks since its birth in 2004, often incorrectly identified as “version 2, Version 3, Version 4.” In reality there has always been only one version…Version 1, with very slight variations in a couple of values after that making them V1.0 through V1.8. All OCDs serial 205811 and higher are the new, less compressed versions some refer to as “v2.01”
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 Fulltone OCD 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 is placed. Fulltone also explains that the output buffer reduces loading on the pedal’s hard-clipping stage, which allows for more sustain.
For better performance with single-coil and humbucking pickups alike, Fulltone equips the OCD v2 with a Class A discrete 2N5457 JFET input section. The input impedance has been raised from the previous 330K to 1 mega-ohm. The result is better interaction with your guitar’s pickups and a noticeably enhanced dynamic range.
If there’s one thing Fulltone takes seriously, it’s the pursuit of tone. They’ve never been completely satisfied with the buffered bypass circuits found in many pedals, so after years of research, they’ve invented an alternative — they call it Enhanced Bypass. Instead of employing Field Effect Transistors (FET) for unity gain like most buffered pedals.
Fulltone OCD v2 features FETs in a Class A configuration that maintains the nuances of your playing. Fulltone explains, “all the dynamics return,” delivering a more expressive sound than you can get from traditional buffer circuits. The OCD v2 also offers True Bypass mode accessible via an internal switch.
With OCD V2’s Enhanced Bypass you get this benefit whether the pedal is turned ON or OFF anytime while you play.
This means that just having the OCD turned off in your signal chain makes the whole rig sound alive, fresh, and more powerful again.
