The Fulltone OCD V2 Overdrive is a pedal that takes the many iterations of the original OCD V1 and adds a brand-new buffered output to bring a better dynamic range and responsiveness to the table.

Key Features

  • “Class A” Buffer – This buffer gives a fuller tone, complete with a complex array of overtones at your disposal!
  • The Sound of a Cranked Tube Amp! – With the buffer on, it gives you the sound of a cranked tube amplifier, no matter how loud your amp is set.

Classic Overdrive Tones

The Fulltone OCD V2 Overdrive is a dynamic guitar pedal featuring a HP/LP switch to give you the ability to change the response from a more ‘British’ feel with increased mid-range and break-up, to a cleaner signal that is ideal for use as a clean booster into an already overdriven signal chain.

It also includes tone, volume and drive controls to sculpt your sound exactly how you pair. This enables you to utilise the pedal to its full capabilities. This Fulltone offering is more than versatile enough to be used either as an out-and-out heavy overdrive sound through a cleaner boost that can complement your existing setup.

Enhanced Buffering

The OCD V1 was acknowledged for its open and dynamic overdrive sound, and the V2 takes this a step further with a new 'Class A' buffer to give a fuller tone and complex array of overtones, similar to the way that older preamps were used to add harmonic 'polish'.

The pedal also responds hugely to player dynamics and guitar volume control adjustments so that – just like an amp would – it can clean up simply by adjusting your technique or guitar dials. If you're looking for a dynamic and open-sounding overdrive pedal that responds extremely well to subtle nuance and provides you with a range of harmonic content, then look no further than the Fulltone OCD V2.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.
