Another first was their configuration as \"hard clippers connected to v-ref\" instead of to ground, as was the norm. These things contribute greatly as to why the OCD has such touch-sensitivity...why they react so well when the strings are hit hard or soft, and why they sound \u0026amp; feel different than all other pedals out there, 90% of which are just slight tweaks of the Tube Screamer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNEW FEATURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eoutput buffer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(when pedal is turned on in True-Bypass mode, or always when in Enhanced Bypass mode) which eliminates it from being influenced by effects that came after it.

Everything’s different now, most guitarists have elaborate pedalboards with 10 or more pedals being the norm, and tremendous potential for signal and tone loss with the many cables, connectors, and other pedals involved in the chain. There can be so much signal loss that it sounds nothing like the sound of a guitar with a cable straight into the front of a great tube amp.

This loss of gain is in the low-Mids and Bass frequencies, resulting in that “tinny” sound now that the highs remained and some of the bass and mids are gone. Now factor in that there are two FETs per pedal required to couple the IN \u0026amp; OUT path, that’s an obvious loss of between 1dB-2dB per pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s an even bigger issue with this old style unity-gain FET bypass?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt kills dynamic pick response\u003c\/strong\u003e, i.e. it kills the difference between picking soft and picking hard…Yes, when the pedal is in bypass!

Configuring both of the switching FET’s Class-A! By configuring a FET for gain (also referred to as wiring it “Class-A“) all the dynamics return (and then some), even if you only configure it with the slightest amount of gain, in this case: 0.3 to .06 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople rave about old EP-3 Echoplexes and Ep-3 type boosters, and although they know that they love what it does to the guitar’s sound, they can’t explain why. It’s because of the Class-A FET preamp! With a Class A FET the dynamics get amplified, allowing an even greater range of expression than if you were playing through a guitar and just one cable straight into your amp. The downside with EP-3 preamps is that they throw the signal OUT-of-phase, boost treble, and cut bass. Fulltone’s EB the signal exits the pedal IN-phase and doesn’t change the EQ at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith OCD V2’s Enhanced Bypass you get this benefit whether the pedal is turned ON or OFF.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis means that just having the OCD turned off in your signal chain makes the whole rig sound alive, fresh, and more powerful again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNight \u0026amp; Day difference?

While it’s not the first time we’ve built it, this will be the final batch for the foreseeable future. With production coming to a stop after this run, each unit represents a closing chapter in one of the most iconic circuits in boutique pedal history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"543\" data-end=\"811\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBuilt on the original hand-wired board design, the v1.4 spec is the version that put the OCD on the map.

The result is the unmistakable OCD tone: dynamic, amp-like drive with massive touch response, refined with fuller bass, a more open top end, and less mid-hump. No shortcuts, no updates for convenience—just the real deal, brought back to life exactly as it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"964\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOnly 500 units are available.
