An open-sounding overdrive/distortion built to feel like a cranked amp rather than a typical stompbox — not trying to be a “Tube Screamer killer” or a “Klon clone,” just doing its own thing.
Key Features
- Open, amp-like overdrive/distortion character
- HP (High Peak) and LP (Low Peak) settings for genuinely different voicings
- Enhanced Bypass keeps a Class A FET buffer active even when off
- 9-18V DC operation
Two Distinct Characters, One Pedal
The HP (High Peak) and LP (Low Peak) settings give genuinely different characters: LP is the more transparent, amp-like setting; HP pushes more mid-forward and aggressive, closer to a pushed British amp. Enhanced Bypass keeps a Class A FET buffer active even when the pedal is switched off, keeping your signal in phase and guarding against tone loss on a longer chain.
Controls
- Drive: sets the amount of gain
- Tone: shapes the voicing
- Volume: sets the output level
- HP/LP switch: selects between the two clipping characters
Power
9-18V DC operation. A CIOKS DC7 v2‘s selectable voltage outputs make it easy to try both 9V and 18V.
Who Is This For
Worth a look if you want an overdrive that enhances your existing tone rather than replacing it — a genuine workhorse rather than a pedal chasing a specific circuit’s reputation.
Watch It In Action
What does the Fulltone OCD V2 do?
It’s an open-sounding overdrive/distortion built to feel like a cranked amp rather than a typical stompbox, with two distinct voicings via the HP/LP switch.
What power supply does the OCD V2 need?
9-18V DC operation. A CIOKS DC7 v2’s selectable voltage outputs make it easy to try both.
Is the OCD V2 true bypass or buffered?
We’re confirming this detail and will update this answer shortly.
What’s the difference between HP and LP settings?
LP (Low Peak) is the more transparent, amp-like setting. HP (High Peak) is more mid-forward and aggressive, closer to a pushed British amp.
What does Enhanced Bypass do?
It activates a Class A FET buffer even when the pedal is switched off, keeping your signal in phase and guarding against tone loss on a longer signal chain.
