Fulltone ocd trial version

It can also be useful for overdriving your amp if you keep the knob below 10 o'clock. HP: S etting the switch to HP High Peak gives you an increased bottom-end, more distortion seen from the drive knob, increased volume, and a minor increase in upper mids - useful to achieve a more B ritish vibe i. Vox and Marshall. The HP setting is very similar to a gain boost. L P: Setting the switch to LP Low Peak provides you with incredible accuracy to the original sound of your guitar and amp.

It's also useful for clean boosting, or when you're not after that British-type sound. You can use the OCD as either a clean drive or an overdrive - both of which work very well. The clean drive really allows you to add tremendous character to your guitar, while remaining sensitive to your overall dynamic range. As usual, personal preference plays a major part in this discussion.

The OCD provides extremely fat low end with tonnes of tone, which makes it ideal for blues or heavy rock genres. Here are some sample settings provided by Fulltone in the manual that's provide with the product.

We recently wrote an article detailing the various versions of the Fulltone OCD. Don't let others confuse you, there are only 4 variations of the OCD.

You can check it out here for further details. But, it's too vague and general. A preamp by definition can do many different things, or produce many different results depending on which one it is.

By this, I mean microphone preamps, recording preamps, guitar amp internal preamps, etc. Well, you guys are right. They are totally different pedals. It's not a fair comparison. I'll keep messing about with the settings and see, but so far, it seems I'm simply going to have to mod the TS to true-bypass, and keep it.

The one thing I absolutely love about the TS is how smooth it plays full open chords. Most other pedals make full open chords sound too hairy. For my music, I have some songs that require overdriven full open chords. At some points during the song I'll switch to more saturated distortion and power chords. I have yet to try a pedal that plays open chords as nicely as my TS. A great example of this is my song 'Favor for You' on my myspace.

That songs uses the TS in all the choruses. I have a Keeley modded Rat 2. This pedal is much more like the OCD. Actually, although different, they are more or less in the same camp. The Rat is a bit hairier though. The OCD is a bit more controlled although it's still a bit fuzzy. I'm thinking of starting a fight between the TS and a BB preamp now! Oh GAS!!! Oh, by the way There is no distortion out of any of my pedals, or any of my amps that I like more than the distortion of my Rebel That said, if there is an amp that can give me the cleans of my Lonestar along with the distortion of my Rebel, I might just have to sell everything to get it.

Now, I know you guys are thinking MOD. But, I'm serious, the clean tones of my LS are hard to reproduce. I admit I haven't tried a MOD yet You should really give the Mod series a try man. With all the modules that eggie has, and the talent around like Dave Freidman, Salvation mods, Pete's modifications.. You should be able to get what you want. Best tone out there hands down, with the most flexibility. The BB can have a lot more 'hair' to it than a TS, and a lot more gain on tap. I run my BB at 9 oclock gain, 11 oclock volume, 10 oclock treble, and 1 oclock bass.

Again I strongly suggest you try one at your favorite dealer, and then let me know what you think. They are at dealers now.

Fulltone does not make it easy to understand the differences between each version - so that's why we are here to help fill the gaps! There's currently only 4 versions of the OCD , although there has been speculation on whether more versions actually exist. It's also been rumored that there was an inside joke by the manufacturers of the OCD - who would write higher version numbers for the fun of it.

An e-mail from Michael Fuller, the founder of Fulltone, was received by a forum user in regards to this topic. He was also quoted by another online user stating :.

Not an inside joke, just whenever I make a change to the PCB, whether it be a word because of a Trademark change, a new logo, etc It received a revision. I don't think there's a much difference between a 1. Theoretically that is.

Practically, ehhh, maybe. From these statements we can conclude that there are indeed only 4 versions of the OCD around, and that there really wasn't any inside joke going on.
