Fulltone OCDv2 Obsessive Compulsive Drive Guitar Effect Pedal

Description

What hasn’t changed
The OCD was the first pedal to use a MOSFET as a clipping device. Another innovation was its configuration as a “hard clipper connected to V-Ref” rather than to ground as is the norm. These things contribute greatly to why the OCD is touch sensitive. How it responds so well to hitting the strings hard or softly, and how it sounds and feels different from all other pedals (90% of which are only small pedals).

Features

• 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…resulting in significantly better interaction with both single coil and humbuckers.
• Internal switch to choose between ”Enhanced Bypass TM” & True-Bypass, and with no popping sound in either mode. No other company offers EB…I invented it.
