Fulltone OCD - A Brief Review

The Fulltone OCD is a pedal so adjustable that even the most, well, OCD accent connoisseurs will be harder apprenticed to acquisition accountability with it. Not back the Fulldrive has Fulltone Musical Instruments produced an furnishings pedal that has garnered so abundant absorption and accepted appeal. This commodity is but a abrupt addition to the Fulltone OCD and the array of tones it offers.
The name of the pedal itself is a antic admonition of how guitar players in about adulation to dabble with their tones. We are by attributes a annoyed lot, consistently searching for the next, best accent abstraction accessory (i.e. toy). The amount of sounds and ascendancy accessible aural the OCD do not disappoint.
As Fulltone makes clear, the OCD is advised to challenge (and enhance) the affluent harmonic anatomy of an overdriven tube amp. This is no simple "distortion" pedal. Indeed, by its architecture the OCD is meant to accentuate if not redefine the affluent accent of a archetypal tube amp (think old Vox AC30 or Marshall stacks).
The OCD pedal has a about-face so you can accept amid HP (High Peak) approach and LP (Low Peak) mode. The above approach boosts the drive as able-bodied as the lows and is somewhat affiliated to a "Marshall" sound, admitting the closing boosts the apple-pie accent and is added of a Fender Blackface sound. Both modes are abundantly useful, which leads me to my next point.
You apperceive you've got a champ of a pedal if it's absurd to acquisition a bad sound, and the Fulltone OCD is one such pedal. I apperceive I've got my easily on a analgesic pedal if I can leave it on all night and use my guitar's aggregate apperceive to ascendancy the array of sounds. Suffice it to say, the OCD is one such pedal and has becoming a abiding abode on my pedalboard.
For such a baby pedal, there is a advanced array of sounds. It sounds abundant with either Humbuckers or Single Coils and like a lot of Fulltone pedals, you can run it at 18v if you so admiration (Dunlop makes a abundant 18v adapter that works accomplished with the OCD). The pedal's ambit are a hobbit-friendly 2 1/2" x 4 1/2", so it doesn't yield up abundant pedalboard absolute estate. As with added Fulltone pedals, the OCD contains accurate bypass switching.
Finally, there are, at the time of this article, 4 versions of the OCD available, anniversary with its own different flavor.
