Fulltone OCD V2 Obsessive Compulsive Drive Overdrive Pedal
The OCD has received many slight tweaks over the last 12 years, often incorrectly identified as “version 2, Version 3, V4, etc.” In reality there has always been only one version…Version 1, with very slight variations after that making them V1.1 through V1.7.
On 6/15/2017 we released 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 on…

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 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.
NEW FEATURE:
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.
NEW FEATURE:
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.
VISUALLY
V2 has slightly smaller “OCD” and “Fulltone” logos, along with “Built in the USA” under the Fulltone logo. All Fulltone products are built in the USA, the V2 now says it. Make no mistake, nothing Fulltone is made outside the USA, but please know ALL resistors, knobs, pots, capacitors, switches, etc. for EVERY product in the world are made overseas! And because of that, legally you have to say "Built in USA" instead of "Made in USA."
Next, the IN & OUT jacks are placed exactly at the halfway point of the left & right sides on V2, whereas with all previous versions the jacks were located more towards the bottom.
SOUNDWISE?
The stages added to the circuit changed the OCD, there’s no doubt, but it changed for the better. Words some people used to use to describe the OCD: “brash,”--“scooped sounding,”--“Bassy,”--“lacks sustain,”-- “too affected by other pedals”….NO LONGER APPLY.
