Fulltone

All the creamy, delicious overdrive of a classic tube amp.

The Fulltone OCD—Obsessive Compulsive Drive—overdrive pedal packs classic OD tones into a compact pedal with simple, no-fuss operation. From heavy crunch rich with overtones and feedback to spanky cleans, the OCD delivers the sounds of a great tube amp, as sell as the same sensitivity and response to your playing style.

Along with standard Volume, Drive, and Tone controls, the OCD's HP/LP (High Peak/Low Peak) switch takes the pedal from a clean boost to manic, sustain-laden distortion. True bypass switching.

The Fulltone Story
Fulltone was founded in 1991 by Michael Fuller, a session guitarist, composer, performer, electronic tinkerer featured in Guitar Player magazine, and first place winner in their "Ultimate Guitarist Competition" Blues category. Fulltone pedals were born out of a love for music, tone, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, etc. Early on Fuller developed a love for fine vintage pedals, and his frustration at the inconsistencies and the often fragile nature of old gear drove him to start Fulltone. Rich, Fat-sounding TONE TOOLS with a reliable build quality is the goal. Fulltone effects carry a 5 year warranty and are built for (and by) musicians.

Fulltone use True Bypass switching (with L.E.D. status indicators) in all our pedals, whenever possible. Most other pedals have a buffered output that destroys the performance of most pedals that follow in the signal-chain. Fuller says don't be fooled by the claims of "Pure Bypass," "Hard Bypass"...etc. These are just catch phrases to divert your attention away from the fact that those pedals are not true-bypass. I designed and manufacture the Fulltone 3PDT , the world's only Super-Duty Triple-Pole Double-Throw footswitch

Fullertone manufactures their own custom potentiometers because what has been offered as "Industry Standard" has a 20% failure rate within 2 years is not acceptable to them.

All Fulltone pedals are handbuilt & tested at their shop in Southern California using full-sized top-notch components. In the Choralflange, a rather complex pedal as analog designs go, there are NO miniature surface mount chips, capacitors, or resistors. They have their wire custom-made, and it's 22 gauge copper stranded with no tin-coating, so it stays flexible over the years without breaking. You might not know or care about components, but you'll certainly hear the FAT, clean, warm results.

Features

  • Tube-like overdrive and touch-sensitive response
  • HP/LP switch for instant re-voicing and uses
  • Volume, Tone, Drive controls
  • True bypass switching

Fulltone OCD: The very best!

| Review By: Gilberto Bermudez | 2 weeks, 2 hours ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

This Fulltone OCD pedal is already a classic: sounds go from clean to bluesy to crunchy to serious hard-rock, even metal, with a flip of the Drive Control. There isn't a single sound this unit makes which I don't like! It's like a Tube Screamer on steroids, although nothing I've heard compares to the OCD's signature, creamy sound.

Quality:

It's hand-made in California, USA, so it's TOUGH! It also looks very elegant! It comes with an installed battery which is very easy to change, no tools needed. If you plug a 9-volt adapter into the unit, the battery is intelligently bypassed, so its charge is saved. The Fulltone OCD allows you to use any voltage from 9-volts to 18-volts ... the sound you obtain will be different according to the voltage used.

Value:

This is an overdrive/distortion pedal absolutely incapable of producing poor or terrible sounds. Everything that comes out of this box is excellent and of beautiful sonic quality. Therefore I believe it's an unbeatable value!

Overall:

If you haven't heard this pedal yet, go and test one out! Check-out the demo videos on YouTube also!

Finally, an overdrive that sounds just right....

| Review By: Alex Altgilbers | 2 weeks, 6 days ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

The features are pretty standard......Drive, Tone and Gain.  However, the low peak/high peak switch is really useful and provides a slightly lower gain setting (think Reutz mod on a ProCo Rat).  Also, I know it is a small thing, but using the tumb screws to hold the case on for battery changes is pretty nice (as opposed to some that need a screwdriver or others that have a battery cover that gets broke or lost).

Quality:

Seems to be built like a tank.  I wish the battery lead was a little bit longer.

Value:

I would normally say that it is a little pricey, but to be honest with you, this is probably the 10th pedal that I have bought and though the others are good (Boss OD-1, DS-1, Jet City, DOD Yngwie, LPB-1, etc.), this one is just right for driving a JCM800.  So, I could have saved a bunch of money buying this first.

Overall:

As I mentioned previously, I bought this specifically to overdrive a JCM800 (2203 re-issue) and it does a great job.  It creates a nice smooth over all gain structure and in the proper frequency ranges.  Other pedals that I have had drive too much highs or too much lows.  This one is just right.  You end up with a nice Marshall rip.

Built like a tank! What a sound!!! makes any amp sound GREAT!!

Value:

Best damned pedal for the money!!

Overall:

I have gone through countless O.D. pedal over the 25+ years that I'm playing....spent countless dollars to thry and find THIS sound!!!
This pedal absolutely defines my "sound"!!
I love it so much that I own 2....a version 2 and a version 3.!!
I have gotten numerous compliments from audience members on my "sound'.....a true test of any good pedal!!!
Granted....this is NOT a METAL pedal by any means, let me get that straight!
But if you like good ass kicking, old school JTM 45 Marshall style rock music.......then what the hell are you waiting for???!!!???
ORDER THIS PEDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OCD distortion

| Review By: nick bates | 2 months, 3 weeks ago

Features:

Like a tube screamer on steroids.  Gives you a warm, creamy kick while keeping your tone in line.

Quality:

Makes your tone sound even better than usual, and has a wide range of possibilities

Value:

It's a little on the expensive side for a guitar pedal, but it's worth every penny spent

Overall:

Great for replicating any distortion from any era, and adds a lot of smoothness to the overall sound while retaining great tone
