Fulltone OCD V2 Overdrive
Ā
The New Fulltone OCD V2
The OCD has received many slight tweaks over the last 12 years, often incorrectly identified as āversion 2, Version 3, V4, etc.ā In reality there has always been only one versionā¦Version 1, with very slight variations after that making them V1.1 through V1.7.Today marks the release of a very new OCD, different enough that it warrants a V2 designation, an explanation and warrants a trip to your favorite dealer to give it another listen. Not a subtle change when turned onā¦not a subtle change when turned off (in E.B. mode).
Sonic changes to OCD V2
NEW FEATURE output buffer (when pedal is turned on in True-Bypass mode, or always when in Enhanced Bypass mode)) which eliminates it from being influenced be effects that came after it. Translation, your sound remains consistent regardless of placement in todayās more complex signal-chains, loopers, and pedalboards. This buffer also had a positive effect on the sound, it reduced loading on the pedalās hard-clipping stage, allowing more sustain of both the sound and the overtones.
NEW FEATURE Class A configured discrete 2N5457 JFET input section, raising the input impedance to 1 mega ohms (previously 330K) and increasing the dynamicsā¦resulting in significantly better interaction with both single coil and humbuckers.
NEW FEATURE Internal switch to choose between āEnhanced Bypass TMā & True-Bypass, and with no popping sound in either mode. No other company offers EBā¦I invented it.
AMPS... if you've ever owned a GREAT amp, like a Marshall 18 watt, a VOX AC15 or a Marshall JTM45, and if you have a place where you can crank them up loud, then you know what I'm talking about. Smack a power chord and you (not only) hear the fundamental notes, but you get (count 'em) 4, 5, even 6 additional overtones ringing into a feedback... notes that you can whistle if your ear is good enough! Think Zep'sĀ OceanĀ orĀ Custard PieĀ or classic tones, including James Gang, the Beatles, AC/DC, Free., and so on.
Back off the guitar's volume and there are a dozen great other sounds at your fingertips... Clean, spanky sounds, with all the highs and lows still intact. And a Tele still sounds like a Tele, a Les Paul like a Les Paul.
PEDALS... (until now) just can't hold a candle to what a good amp can do if you are really picky. You not only lose all the touch sensitivity, but forget about those complex Harmonics. (For me) It's always been somewhat of a compromise using Overdrive pedals... until now. Ladies and Gentleman, I am proud to introduce the Fulltone OCD. I made this pedal for me, but I think you might like it too.
