Fulltone OCD-Ge Germanium Obsessive Compulsive Drive Pedal

OCD Overdrive — Now with Germanium!

Ever since it was introduced in 2004, the Fulltone OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Drive) pedal has wormed its way into the rigs of the famous and filthy. Now Sweetwater is excited to present guitarists with the OCD-Ge Germanium — an "old-and-improved" version that uses a pair of vintage-style germanium diodes and two hard-clipping MOSFET transistors to work its overdrive magic, just like the very earliest OCDs, before these coveted components became rare and expensive. What happened is, Fulltone recently lucked into a cache of germanium diodes — and bought them all up. The result is a limited-edition run of Custom Shop pedals with intense definition, a more tubelike feel, wider dynamic range, increased sustain, and a more highly focused single-note tone. And then there's that gorgeous metallic teal with chrome undercoat paint job! Grab this beauty while you can.
