The Fulltone OCD V1 Series 1 Obsessive Compulsive Drive Pedal is a quintessential tool for guitarists seeking authentic, amp-like overdrive with unparalleled touch sensitivity. Born from the visionary mind of Mike Fuller, this pedal is more than just a distortion box—it's a vehicle for expressive playing. Utilizing MOSFET transistors and a unique voltage-controlled clipping mechanism, the OCD V1 offers a dynamic response that feels remarkably like a cranked tube amp. With its intuitive 3-knob setup—Volume, Tone, and Drive—you can easily dial in your desired sound, whether you're after searing solos or subtle drive.

The OCD's innovative HP/LP switch lets you toggle between two distinct tonal characters: a British-style upper-midrange boost for a more aggressive sound, or a transparent, American-flavored tone. Its Class A discrete 2N5457 JFET input stage enhances the pedal’s impedance, ensuring optimal interaction with your guitar's pickups and elevating the dynamics of your performance. The pedal also features Fulltone’s proprietary Enhanced Bypass, which preserves your tone with stunning clarity, alongside the option of traditional true bypass switching.

Perfect for both live gigs and studio sessions, the Fulltone OCD V1 is a staple in any guitarist's arsenal, offering a versatile range of tones in a robust, compact design.
