Fulltone OCD V2: Overdrive classic with two gain modes
Even in the revised version, the Fulltone OCD V2 retains its inimitable dynamics and the overtone behaviour of a fully opened tube amplifier, which provides the basis for the sound of countless guitarists worldwide. With the familiar controls for volume, Drive and tone as well as the switchable gain setting, the sound can be perfectly tuned. Under the hood, two more innovative details on the input and output stages ensure even more top-class sound development.
Fulltone OCD V2: Two details for first-class tone
The Class A input stage, which is centred around a 2N5457 JFET, promises lively dynamics that react excellently with single coils and humbuckers and do not distort the character of the instrument. The output of the Fulltone OCD V2 also features a buffer amp, which is always active in "Enhanced Bypass" mode or is activated with the effect in "True Bypass" mode. It prevents signal losses from occurring in the effects arranged after the Fulltone OCD in the case of long cable runs, while at the same time reducing the electrical load on the clipping stage and thus extending the Sustain of distortion.

My favourite overdrive pedal. Its definately one of the better overdrive pedals out there. I wouldnt really recommend it for distortion, it doesnt really do distortion and definately not fuzz, but its just perfect for those britt crunchy tones, a clean boost or a loveable overdrive.
It responds well to both single coils and humbuckers, but I mainly use single coils.
It also responds well to your touch, it feels very real and responsive, impressive!
You can also either choose to power it with a 9V or 18V adapter, even that can change the sound too, so yeah, very versatile! Best overdrive imho!
The best!! I use it as boost for the OD channel in the LP setting and as an overdrive in the HP setting! In HP it can easily go from bluesy tones to higher gain GnR-JCM sounds! Works great stacked with a tucescreamer, and to push an amp that is starting to break-up a bit more! Great tones! The LP setting is interesting! It can be used as a clean boost or a subtle od with VERY little tone colouration! The built quality is top notch and it is pretty straight forward and easy to use!
I love it!
