Fulltone Custom Shop OCD-Ge Germanium Overdrive Pedal

We all know the Fulltone OCD is a legend in the world of guitar tone, considered by many to be the best sounding overdrive pedal of all time. We've proudly carried the OCD here at Motor City Guitar consistently since it's introduction in 2005, and although we stock over 250 different models of overdrive pedals alone, in 14 years the OCD has never left the list of the most popular pedals of any kind in our store.

There are entire websites dedicated to the OCD and it's versions over the years, and everybody has their favorite. We're now extremely proud to offer what Fulltone's Mike Fuller has called "The Ultimate OCD" - the new, Limited Edition Custom Shop OCD Ge...featuring two MOSFETs and for the first time ever, TWO germanium diodes!

The OCD is the only pedal that uses 2 x Mosfets configured as "hard clipping to Vref." The earliest OCDs used 2 x Mosfets plus 1 x Germanium diode, but very quickly these diodes became harder and harder to find, and they became expensive.

Recently Mike Fuller stumbled across a reasonably large stash of the right kind of Germanium diodes so he ponied-up and bought all of them. Fulltone then decided to do a small run of the ultimate OCD: a Custom Shop offering with a few circuit tweaks, 2 x Mosfets plus 2 x Germanium diodes, and one heck of a beautiful paint job... Metallic Teal with a chrome undercoat! This beauty morphs between blues and greens depending on the light and angle. And what would the ultimate OCD be without a Blue LED?

The sound? Great definition, more tube-like feel, a bit wider dynamic range, more sustain, and a more focused single-note tone. And as with all Fulltone pedals... 100% Built in the USA.
