Fulltone OCD V2
The OCD has received many slight tweaks since its birth in 2004, often incorrectly identified as version 2, Version 3, Version 4. In reality there has always been only one versionVersion 1, with very slight variations in a couple of values after that making them V1.0 through V1.8. All OCDs serial 205811 and higher are the new, less compressed versions some refer to as “v2.01”

What’s stayed the same
The OCD was the first pedal to use Mosfets as clipping devices. Another first was their configuration as “hard clippers connected to v-ref” instead of to ground, as was the norm. These things contribute greatly as to why the OCD has such touch-sensitivity…why they react so well when the strings are hit hard or soft, and why they sound & feel different than all other pedals out there, 90% of which are just slight tweaks of the Tube Screamer.

NEW FEATUREoutput 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 todays more complex signal-chains, loopers, and pedalboards. This buffer also had a positive effect on the sound, it reduced loading on the pedals hard-clipping stage, allowing more sustain of both the sound and the overtones.

NEW FEATUREClass A configured discrete 2N5457 JFET input section, raising the input impedance to 1 mega ohms (previously 330K) and increasing the dynamicsresulting in significantly better interaction with both single coil and humbuckers.

NEW FEATUREInternal switch to choose between Enhanced BypassTM & True-Bypass, and with no popping sound in either mode. No other company offers EBI invented it.
