Fulltone OCD V1.4 is an overdrive/distortion pedal released in 2004 which uses a MOSFET operational amplifier in the circuit for the first time. The result is a more open, more dynamic sound that better respects the nuances of the guitarist’s playing and the properties of his guitar.
Capable of producing the powerful and distinctive distortion sound that we know today, its design also makes it a formidable clean boost and a circuit of choice to get the most out of a tube amp.
The OCD operates on 9 or 18 Volts and can thus further increase its dynamic capabilities. Thanks to its HP/LP selector, it offers either a colorful and powerful English sound like Vox/Marshall, or a more transparent sound that respects the original signal.
The OCD has evolved through 8 versions between 2004 and 2017 and version 1.4 released in 2009 is particularly appreciated by fans of the brand. Its circuit includes the addition of a germanium diode to generate richer harmonics, a bass roll-off and a Volume adjustment with more control. This 1.4 version is now available from the Fulltone Custom Shop.

No-compromise approach
The company’s pedals are renowned for their durability, sonic clarity, and meticulous craftsmanship, drawing praise from musicians who seek vintage-inspired, high-performance gear. Fulltone also emphasizes the use of premium components and a “no-compromise” approach to design, which helped solidify its position in the competitive pedal market.
In 2022, the company announced it would cease manufacturing, marking an end to its run as a prominent name in the guitar effects world. Despite this, Fulltone’s pedals remain highly sought-after, especially in the used market. Together with Jackson Audio, production has now resumed and the effects are available again
