Fulltone OCD V4 Strat – Part 2
www.ProGuitarShop.com – The Fulltone OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Drive) overdrive pedal is the perfect mate for a great tube amp. If you're lucky enough to own a Vox AC15 or a Marshall JTM45 and have a place where you can turn it up all the way, then you have an idea of what the Fulltone OCD is capable of. Plug in the OCD pedal, lay into a bar chord, and you will hear multiple layers of rich harmonic overtones in addition to the fundamental tone. This is not a subtle effect, these are …
This pedal has a clean sound throughout the whole dynamic range.
I just got this pedal today and so far I am very happy with it. It is very versatile for such a small box. It is a great match for my Marshall tube amp. It preserves the dynamic range and that ringing tone I like so much from my amp.
It has very low compression and nice tight distortion for a great vintage tone.
I notice that my V4 has a red light. Is there somthing I'm missing?
do you think it has a great attack and gain?
i'm looking for a distortion pedal. i have a big muff, but i want a clearer, heavier sound.
this pedal is awesome!!!
i use it on top of my orange ad30 set with a mid-gain punch
with the volume right up, the gain lowish and in LP mode on the OCD, solo tones are heavenly!!!
mine does too
i wanted blue, hehe
contact fulltone?
5* just because of your vioce
Correct me if im wrong but isnt the OCD
V4 supposed to have a red light??
is it true bypass?
the later v4s have red lights
yes
yes
getting one in like 3 days!!!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!!
Indeed it is!
whats does he mean when he says theres no
compression at all?
if u hit the strings hard the volume will be louder and if u hit them more delicately the volume will decrease. With compression, whether u hit the strings hard or not hard the volume stays the same…
that it doesn't sounds like a compressed distortion but a rich, warm overdrive
getting one for Christmas… so excited
Amazing pedal
you r correct.
looping arrows around the knobs as well. This is V!,2, or 3, but most certainly not V4
We received Ver 4's for months before the look changed.. Read up, Fuller says himself you can't go by the LED or cosmetics.
stand corrected then
That's quite something to look forward to! Enjoy!
Nope. Youtubers know better than a professional company which pedals you're demoing. Face it, the smartest people in the music world are on youtube.
Kidding.
I have a serious question, though: how would you rate the bypass on this? Is it true, passive, or buffered? And if buffered (I think it is?), how is it for a chain?
Thanks, PGS. You guys have the coolest website for gear nerds like myself. And Andy can play his ass off.
True Bypass.
yes…thought i'd add another in there..
