The OCD is a much punchier and warmer sounding overdrive. While being transparent, it does enhance the gain and sustain of your amp, while I have to reiterate that it does maintain your original sound. The Fulldrive is great at maintaining your original amp sound, very transparent. You can definitely achieve sounds of each pedal from the other, but there are noticeable differences. To me, there is not really a better or worse between the two it’s more of a preference issue. We do get a lot of questions about the differences between the OCD and the Fulldrive II and I will attempt to go over those differences. Considering the small structure of the pedal, real estate on a pedal board is not a problem either. The pedal also has true bypass switching, so you lose no tone having this pedal in your chain of effects. Great for boosting clean sounds and finding tones different than those British amps (think Fender,Blackface or Tweed-style). LP will give you all the accuracy to the original sound of your guitar and amp you could want, almost no coloration. HP gives you more bottom end, increased overdriven sounds, more volume, and just a noticeable amount of upper mids (think Vox and Marshall). The HP/LP switch is a feature not found on other overdrive pedals, essentially giving you 2 pedals in one. The volume knob controls the amount of signal coming from the pedal. The drive knob controls the drive of the pedal, turning it clockwise for those warm, meaty overdriven tones keeping it at lower settings will give you a cleaner sound or more subtle overdriven sounds. The OCD is one of those pedals that’s hard to get a bad sound out of.įeatures of the OCD include a drive knob, volume knob, tone knob, and an HP/LP switch. I use mine in front of a Vox AC30 (soon to be a Dr.

This pedal works great in front of master volume amps as well, driving them harder than most overdrive pedals. The rich sound of this pedal can achieve the chime of a nice class-A amp or you can run it very hard to achieve thick, almost distorted sounds, with all of the ringing overtones (a.k.a. It’s easy to find that setting that allows you to play softly and maintain a non-overdriven sound (assuming your amp is set to clean), and then get that warm, punchy, overdriven sound when you bite in to the strings.

To begin with, the OCD is different than most overdrive pedals in its dynamic qualities. Since the Fulltone OCD Pedal is one of our best sellers, we are going to start off our pedal reviews with it, and since one of the most common questions we get here at Humbucker Music is how the Fulltone OCD compares to the Fulldrive 2, we’re going to hit upon that as well.
