    Fulltone OCD Obsessive Compulsive Drive Pedal

    • Built solid, great tone, but I hate that I have to remove all four screws to replace the battery
    • Tried the Pigtronix Fat Drive, but it was too bassy; the TC Electronic Mojo Mojo Drive was too edgy for my taste, as were a number of other "overdrive" pedals - most had a "jagged" or "edgy" tone quality - not a smoother, rounder tone.
    • This is the distortion that gives me that fat tone and that sounds I been looking for!
    • Fantastic tone pedal!
    • I love the tone
    • Can be set to add just a bit of grain and sustain and size to your sound, a difficult tone to get at reasonable volumes.
    • hard to control output volume, very loud but great tone
    • I like to start with a nice clean tone, and then use one or two differently voiced overdrive pedals to give me both a crunch tone and one that is more suited for leads.
    • Well, now I've bit the bullet after comparing the OCD to the Joyo and found that just like Coca-Cola, "nothing beats the real thing"The pedal gain goes from adding a light, but fat tone and some crunch, to all out, in your face, high gain with the turn of a knob
    • I can get clean tones with the amp, kick on the OCD for great dynamic rhythms, and then I use a Wampler Pinnacle for a solo boost in gain, volume and mids
    • Great tone and sustain that is quite civil with the TA which does not have an effects loop
    • the Drive almost all the way down (pointing at the tone knob), and the Volume up, and assuming you didn't completely mess your amp tone up, you'll nail it every time
    • Love this pedal, sounds great, great tone verity- def one of my favs!
    • Amazing tone, from classic overdrive to distortion, this pedal works great and is very versatile!
    • I'm impressed, and that says a lot for someone who just a few years ago, hated the idea of putting anything between his guitar and his amp...if the amp couldn't do it 'naturally' when it comes to dirty tone
    • Mouth-watering warm tone at any setting.
    • Incredible tone!
    • Very versatile tone and drive
    • Good pedal - maybe not the only overdrive you need but solid pedal and nice tones can be found inside.
    • If you want something completely transparent with rich tones at any volume and gain level check out anything by JHS Pedals
    • (i know i know i need a tube amp, I'm trying) and setting it on a very low gain and setting the OCD on a very low gain makes a sweet overdrive tone to die for
    • I spent a lot of time tweaking, but just could not get a decent tone with my Fender rig.
    • I just love this Fulltone OCD - it's got the tones I need, but lacks sustain
    • Well, now I've bit the bullet after comparing the OCD to the Joyo and found that just like Coca-Cola, "nothing beats the real thing"The pedal gain goes from adding a light, but fat tone and some crunch, to all out, in your face, high gain with the turn of a knob
    • Good tone
    • I'm playing a Fender Strat through a Fender 212R and the tone is amazing, and it's a very quiet pedal
    • The volume knob lets you correct for all that available drive, and true bypass means you won't lose air and sparkle with your clean tone with this device in your lineup
    • Built solid, great tone, but I hate that I have to remove all four screws to replace the battery
    • Once you figure that out the tone is excellent
    • but I couldn't manage to get an AC/DC like tone from it and my black star
    • Dialing in your perfect tone is not a hard task at all
    • I also have a ProCo RAT 2 Distortion pedal which I use for heavier, grittier tones, so I use the OCD for more classic sounding overdrive
    • My amp has never sounded better, this pedal can give you soft blues tones and heavy metal like you would not belive
    • You gain boldness and when your low end does gain some crunch, it is the biggest baddest tone that you could dream of
    • I've been able to get tones that I somewhat like in the LP mode.
    • Great tone and dynamics
    • I've heard about the fabled "always on, part of my tone" overdrive pedal before, but I had never actually encountered one that I could get both a barely broken up rhythm strummy tone AND an all-purpose louder and browner and grindier lead tone from
    • Modern pedal with a great rich tone
    • I use this pedal with my HSS strat and through a blues Jr III and use the clean boost for the coolest clean tone ever.
