You have the latest, the final, the best version of the OCD: Version 1.4
The OCD is an extremely open sounding Overdrive/Distortion circuit. It is different from overdrives you’ve tried
because it has a good bit more Dynamic-Range…meaning the difference between picking soft or picking hard will
actually yield a wider range of distortion (with less compression) than traditional diode-clipped overdrives, which
behave as if the gain is either ON or OFF! The OCD also creates more complex overtones without changing the
inherent tone of whatever amp and guitar you’re playing through, lifting off that blanket other drive pedals can put
on your signature sound. The OCD accomplishes its tube-like distortion through the unusual combination of
MOSFET and Germanium clippers (unlike 95% of all pedals) that are not placed in the feedback loop ....unheard of
in a pedal prior to the OCD’s 2005 release.
Because of its huge amount of available output, the OCD works great as an Overdrive in front of amps to goose
them into submission, as well as through Master-Volume amps to drive them much harder than most OD‘s, but it
also excels at creating its own distortion with all the chime of a Class A amp with its complex array of overtones.
The OCD gives you the feeling that your amp is Cranked at even living room volumes so Clean playing is more
dynamic and dirty sounds still have the ringing overtones. And the greatest thing is that you can access a slew of
other in-between sounds by simply turning down your guitar’s volume control.
