UTILIZATION

Is not easy! You turn has made!

SOUND QUALITY

I try dj version 2 of the bte and as I said the era, I had long hsit Plexitone of the Carl Martin. Finally I took the most versatile Carl Martin.
But the attention to the dj bte only worth 108 euros (Musictoyz) and it is not the same!
Also version 4 (red LED) is quite Different. Raction of the knobs is especially diffrent you got a fucking gain in the low ds you Exceeds 12 on the knob to drive. Must also be in mfier dpart, Because the bass and treble are expected rgler the knob on the "Tone" and this is the case but also be assayed with the drive. But the combinations with the three knobs are always hyper INTERESTED.
I test with parallle Plexitone, rsultat the Plexitone is more aggressive with less bass and a bit more screaming while the OCD is near the trs JTM45 sounds of Jimmy Page 12 APRS to drive. You send the Whole Lotta Love and rock n 'roll is serious and the (test with a Les Paul and a 335 P90). Playing on the knob of the drive before 12pm and level, the sound is clear when approaching the grain and ACDC with P90 in the first quarter of the drive knob and with a lot of levels (close to rglages tube screamer) we obtain good grain bluesy, grains that are more difficult to obtain on the Plexitone. The tone knob is always the most effective and allows an infinite colors.

OVERALL OPINION

For résumé j'tais dj convinced of the quality of Bouzin but in version 4 and in view of the price it should not hsiter of the ball. The best version of this low reinforcing the drive! Try on a 4 x 12 (12 x 2 test Rivera) I think it's a killing.
To conclude the comparison with the Plexitone the Plexi will be adapting well to aggressive rock with a lot of treble when the OCD is best of vintage rock. But beware, once you can do anything with the two From the time we have fingers, toes even as when 80 percent of its earned.
For those looking for good or are spcialiss bluesy Led Zep is not the picture is OCD. For those who want an aggressive sound with good crunch pchu big sound standard with an additional boost is the plexi.
IDAL and the captain is both!

It is easy to use a pedal, 3 knobs, not need more, Tone, Drive, Volume. With a switch LP / HP, I'm still in HP (+ its "English-typed VOX -)

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, so no brainer, there is the desired effect quickly. Once set, no need to return it.

SOUND QUALITY

Yes, it's an overdrive pedal that is clear enough, no major distortion. I use it with a keyboard (Nordstage) on the organ sounds to warm up a bit. Knowing that I also benefited from the warmth of my amp (Type III Leslie RB Speakeasy Vintage - see my profile) that is "pre PGA" tube.
The crunch is received in good order.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several years (2 years, I think) and I'm always happy. However, I discovered the grail of overdrive, the queen of the pedals (!) That is the Klon and I admit that the OCD has become a little pale ... But I like it anyway, will ...

OD pedal "basic" with three knobs: Volume, Tone and Drive
In addition, a clip HP / LP, which changes the "voicing" of the pedal

UTILIZATION

Simple, single or coupled with a Fulldrive 2 (without the boost)
I use it with a lot of drive and HP on my clean channel

SOUND QUALITY

Nothing to do with the V4 I sold directly. The sound "piercing" much better, is more "open" limit too, if abuse of the Tone. I used a PRS Cu24 and now with a Start.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months, I had V4 for a couple of years.
I do it again of course this choice without hesitation even though I also try a V3 at

The fulltone ocd is an analog overdrive pedal with a pretty wide variety of sounds. It has the standard 1/4" inputs and outputs, a dc jack that can take 9-18 volts, controls for volume, gain, and tone, plus a high pass/low pass switch. It has a single true bypass stomp switch.

UTILIZATION

This is a no-frills overdrive pedal that is a breeze to set up and get going. The controls are very simple and sound surprisingly good at noon which I love in pedals. It does take a bit of time to get the volume leveled out and figure a good balance with the tone knob and high pass/low pass switch. The manual is fine and not really needed after the first use.

SOUND QUALITY

I used this pedal in a couple different ways. When playing in my main band, which is mostly metal, I mostly used it to boost the lead channel on my framus tube amp. It's a pretty common trick where you keep the gain all the way down, tone just over noon, and crank the volume. This makes the guitar hit the first gain stage a bit harder and compress more. Combining this with the slight bass cut on high pass gives you a tighter distortion sound that is pretty much the standard for modern metal. On our lighter songs I used the pedal with more gain and less volume on my clean channel as a mid-way point between clean and crunch.

As a standalone overdrive it was sometimes great and other times I felt it was a bit grating on the ears. It was tough finding a good balance between too much high end and not enough where it became muddy. It can get a great classic rock sound but seemed to really need a loud amp. At lower volumes it was just too fizzy sounding. I preferred using the low pass when used as a standalone overdrive on clean.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall it's a good pedal to have around and once you get it dialed in it's right there with the rest of the overdrive world. There are many different flavors available these days and this is one of the better ones for me. It is somewhat similar to a tube screamer when used as a boost but a bit clearer. The one thing I do not like is how many different versions there are out there.I have played a version 2 and 3 as well and did not really find a lot of sounds you could not get out of version 1.

Where do I begin with this pedal. This is quite simply one of the best pedal you can buy on the market.
Ill start by giving the difference that this 1st version has sound wise. This is the sound that started it all.

Version 1-
Serial numbers:
#000 - #4563

Sound-
-Lots of bass
-lots of high end

Version i is very similar to versions 2. When we hit version 3 and 4 that is where some more dramatic changes occurred.

The OCD stands for Obsessive Compulsive Drive. This pedal is made to high standards and is quite an inexpensive boutique pedal.

This pedal is good for slamming the front of your amp into high gain territory or just hitting it with some clean boost. Either way is equally spectacular.

Fulltone OCD Obsessive Compulsive Drive Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal Features:

* Tube-like overdrive and touch-sensitive response
* HP/LP switch for instant re-voicing and uses
* Volume, Tone, Drive controls
* True bypass switching

UTILIZATION

The OCD pedal takes over where the tube screamer left off. Not only does this pedal make your amp bite more but it really spanks the front end giving it good saturated distortion. The tone is very fat and warm. It makes a Strat get a little beefier when plugged into a clean amp.

Pretty simple functions with only 3 knobs and one mini switch that controls the high and low peek voicings. Good for changing or tailoring the voicing to fit your needs or your amps needs.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is spectacular with this pedal. The color of the tone and the versatility of the pedal makes this a standard in gear magazines must have pedals. There isn't a sound that I don't like in this pedal. It does all of it so well that it is hard to choose which setting I like best. If I had to pick, I would go with the clean boost setting which would be taking your gain to around 9:00 and you tone around noon and your level as desired and slam the front of a heavily overdriven amp.

Use this with a Strat and a Fender Deluxe and you'll have classic rock tones for days. Put it in front of a Marshall JCM800 with a Les Paul or a Charvel and you'll be cranking some heavy rock n roll tones.

OVERALL OPINION

At the price point this just makes sense. And you don't even have to modify this pedal to get it to work. I give it a perfect for that reason alone. Being able to sound amazing at under $150 for a used one and be ready for stage use is a must own.

I recommend this pedal to any gigging guitarist and home player. This pedal will excite the dreamer guitar player for world changing tone. It is a blast to play and will be in my pedal hall of fame.

Overdrive pedal very easy to use, 1 Vol, 1 Tone, 1 Drive ansi switch a LP / HP manages the type of overdrive / distortion. attention, distos will always be soft ...

UTILIZATION

I use it mainly for my by a booster. But I got great results when used alone as well.
The only small snag is that it captures me a buzz on my block .... PSU T-REX

SOUND QUALITY

The quality is very good, special mention to food 9V to 18V, which greatly affect the final rendering.
LP + 9V sound was very sweet, mellow, while the HP + 18V switch and there was a drier sound, deeper, more dynamic (of headroom for Anglophones).

OVERALL OPINION

Full of quality but price accordingly. I will ever be the same choice despite the fact that it "grabs" the buzz of my PSU. A good alternative to the TS9 pedals ....

The Obsessive Compulsive Drive from Fulltone features your standard dirt pedal appointments, with a little extra

-Volume, drive, and tone knobs to dial in your sound
-High Power and Low Power switches for instant change in voicing
-True Bypass
-Power via 9V batter or AC adapter
-Accepts up to 18V of power for additional headroom if desired


UTILIZATION

Use it like a typical pedal- dial in your sound, stomp on it, and go! The dials offer a very pleasant range, and many usable tones in between. If you are not quite getting your sound in the range of the dials, make sure to re-explore in the other voicing settings, as it offers a whole new side to the pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

Overall, the Fulltone OCD offers an overdrive with a more recessed midrange, smoother highs, and bigger lows than your typical tubescreamers. For this reason, it works very well in front of a more mid oriented amplifier, such as a Marshall. Using it as a boost in front of this sort of amplifier really helps to balance the frequencies, and just brought more out of the amp. When using it to boost my Boogies, the low end would get a little too wooly, and midrange a little too lost. For an overly smooth lead sound, it would be a great combination, but for a percussive and strong attack, it was not the right combination. As a stand alone overdrive, the pedal is astounding- one of the best in my opinion. It is nearly as dynamic and harmonically rich as an amplifier would be, which is a true feet for a pedal. On a final note, I REALLY like this pedal with single coil pickups. It really helped to fatten them up and getting things going.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a unique overdrive from Fulltone, and very popular for good reason. Using it over a clean channel is like adding a whole new drive channel to your amplifier. With the right combination of pickups and amp, it also makes a great boost.

UTILIZATION

Config simple.
No manual
Easy editing.

SOUND QUALITY

ATTENTION, I use only and LOW in the loop of a loop LS2 to keep a clean sound. No idea of ​​rendering with a guitar.

We'll OD light and subtle has good bass distortion.
The pedal and very sensitive to the intensity of the game and allows numerous settings.
We can play well with a soft light net OD in the background, or even nothing casi and swing of a sudden attack of good with a good OD which allows the subtleties of game very interesting.
I love a good slapback behind and parallel octaves! Happiness.

OVERALL OPINION

3 years of use.
I tried ODB3 (yuck), the DS-1 (double yuk) nothing to see! (Necessarily)
I also have a Big Muff (and 3 apples in my fridge ... the pink lady).

What I love most of all I would say ... bin. Precise adjustments, subtle interaction with the intensity of play, good sound palette.

A yes it can also serve as a boost with the OD at 0, it can be interesting ...
What I like least ... I have not had a blue LED but red! And the stickers provided and super ugly! Apart from that RAS.

Value for money it must be said that this is 170 euros for 3 components and a pedal that can produce either very expensive! Anyway I do not know anything so ... at least for the sound I get was a good investment. I would do this choice.

Well I'll go make a pie.

SOUND QUALITY

Plugged into an amp you might think we have a marshall behind three bodies, only better ... it sounds simple but it is a killer!


OVERALL OPINION

whatever setting it sounds ... we can cover all productions amp is hot .... OCD is a simple + chorus + delay, and it has had enough and an amp with a clear right and you can go it fits right in! Keep Rocking!

The Fulltone OCD is a pedal of many faces, not just because of the different versions that are available but also because of the different tones you can get from it. Furthermore, it reacts differently depending on your guitars and amps. This is a pedal that you have to try with your own setups, it won't work with everything out there but if it does fit your setup, you are in for a threat.

UTILIZATION

With a very simple control layout, you can get a variety of tones ranging from boosts to serious gainy tones and that's before you have even tried the little HP/LP switch which also takes things into a new direction. And even then, the story is not over because the OCD also reacts different on the amount of voltage you feed it. Run it at 18v for more output and headroom. I’m still not 100% sure what the difference between high peak and low peak is but they both work, the HP in general gives you more gain and a more crunchy tone.

SOUND QUALITY

I have tried the different versions with the exception of V2 and for my rig, the V1 sounded best. I ran it usually with the gain relatively low as that got me a very punchy tone that worked great with single coils and humbuckers. Furthermore, I could boost the OCD with a TS-style pedal for lead sounds or use the OCD with the overdrive channel of my amp. One thing the OCD does well is retain articulation and dynamics. If you are the kinda player who likes to get tones from the volume control of your guitar, the OCD should work great for you.

OVERALL OPINION

At the moment, the OCD is sitting on a shelf as I always want to try other stuff but one day, it will be back on the board for sure.

The Fulltone OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Drive is a high quality overdrive/distortion pedal with amp-like overtones and feel.
There have been several revisions of the pedal, each having slight tweaks to the sound. The pedal I am reviewing is version 4.

Controls include Volume, Tone and Drive, and a toggle switch that selects either HP or LP which I believe stand for High Peak and Low Peak, respectively.

The pedal is powered by a single 9 volt battery or a common 9 volt AC adapter.


UTILIZATION

It took me a while to find the OCD's sweet spot with my rig. The balance between gain and tone can be a bit tricky to find. I had a bit of trouble avoiding a congested, or harsh sound at first, but once I got it dialed in where I wanted, it was a blast to play through!



SOUND QUALITY

I tested this pedal with a Gibson Les Paul, Schecter C-1 Classic, G&L Invader and a cheap Hondo with Fender single coil pups, and then into three different amplifiers; a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Carvin MTS, and Fender Blues Deville. I felt that the humbucker equipped axes resulted in a slightly congested or harsh sound when used with this pedal. I noticed that while using the Schecter with the Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz coil-tapped, and the Hondo with single-coils, I liked the sound much more.
Using single-coils with the OCD really opens it up and lets it breathe.

Great tones can be had with any guitar however, and it just takes some experimenting with the HP/LP setting and getting the tone and drive set right. I felt that the pedal's sweet spot was with the tone just past noon and the gain at noon. I really liked this pedal as a mid-gain overdrive more than a maxed out distortion pedal.

I also tested this pedal as a boost, to kick my already driven dirty channel into higher gain territory. I feel it was only average as a boost. It always felt stiff and hard and had an undesirable edge to it. Other pedals, like the Xotic BB (which I also reviewed) do the boost thing much better, at least for my preferences and needs.

The HP and LP settings are useful, but can be frustrating. LP has a nice squishy feel. It "gives" like a good tube amp when you dig in to the strings, but this setting can also sound a tad bit muddy. Flip the switch to HP, and the pedal gets much louder, clearer and more distorted. My problem was that it got too nasty in the high end. I preferred keeping the unit in the LP setting and opening up the tone control until it just started sounding bright, but not overly so.

The great thing about this pedal is how much it resembles a real amp, both in tone and feel. You can crank the volume up a bit and strum a chord and hear subtle overtones and complex textures in the gain. Most overdrive or distortion pedals sound flat and don't have that sort of realism or depth.
Overall I'd describe the voicing of this pedal as more Fenderish and American than british. The mids are not pronounced at all in this pedal, regardless of the position of the tone control or HP/LP switch. These controls only affect the high frequencies. The mids always have a scooped sound to them.

I feel that a mid-boost function would GREATLY improve this unit!

OVERALL OPINION

All things considered, the OCD is a fantastic achievement in getting that realistic amp feel in a stomp box. It excels as a touch sensitive overdrive with complex harmonics and overtones. However it is not voiced to fit in with every rig, and a mid boost function would greatly improve this pedal in my opinion.

I sold my OCD pedal to fund another pedal purchase, but I will definitely be trying another Fulltone in the future! Perhaps a Catalyst or Plimsoul. Thanks for reading!

Overdrive / distortion analog input output, power supply 9/18v
A Miniswitch to move from a low peak (LP) to a High Peak (HP).

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, wide range of settings, including gain, which can assay a very slight overdrive (especially in LP mode, the one I use most often) that adds just a little rough side when you attack a little (great with a Start for example).
It may even be free of saturation, not Nu Metal, but still sharp, especially in HP mode.
The mini switch allows me to adjust OCD according to the used guitar (Les Paul or Start) of the amplifier used and the desired sound. Practice.

SOUND QUALITY

The great versatility allows its use as boost demand (low mode peak) which stains very little sound.
It's a good pedal, solid, reliable and very versatile. It can be powered by battery (easy access via 4 screws you can tighten / loosen by hand, although seen) or external power supply, what I do. It accepts all voltages between 9 and 18 volts higher the voltage, the higher it is supposed to have dynamics. I use it on 18v, it works very well, I can not really say more, though, actually, the sound seems to respond better to different shades with high voltage.
The "tone" (frequency control) does not lose when it pushes the severe acute is that boast the manual, and it's true. This will keep a sound fat enough when you push the distortion into a corner.
The finicky believe for different versions (from 1 to 4) there are big differences in sound. I leave that kind of finesse. Mine is version 4 (I think) and it works very well.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost two years I've used a truck and distos overdrive over the years and it is very suitable for professional use.
Its versatility and reliability are very valuable, I always bring whatever my setup or guitar amp and whatever the style I play.
It is a bit expensive, but for the quality stuff we really regret it (now if you give it a nice too).

Full analog pedal, handmade in the USA, input and output jack ...
Volume knobs, Drive and Output level, a button to change the internal circuit (or else, not even capture the difference in technology, but the difference is there).


UTILIZATION

Yes, use this pedal is very simple, not yet opened the manual I will admit (but I'll go that step!).

SOUND QUALITY

The overdrive this pedal is quite "creamy" sound a hair coats, perfect on an amp a bit noisy as mine. By no big cons satus a bit "hard" with this pedal!

OVERALL OPINION

For a few years I have this pedal with a couple fatboost the same manufacturer ...
I must confess that I use the overdrive and this Fatbosst as OCD as boost (I just reversed the roles of these respective almost 2 pedals), and that's what sound I wanted ...
I now looking for a super drive tube
I remake that choice without hesitation
