You have version 1.4 of the legendary Fulltone OCD!
The OCD is an extremely open sounding Overdrive/Distortion circuit is quite different from any overdrive you've
tried being that it uses Mosfets for clipping, and that clipping is tied to the circuit's Voltage Reference (vref) instead
of to ground. The end-result is that picking soft or picking hard will actually yield a more interactive experience
compared to a traditional "diode-to-ground" clipped overdrive. The OCD offers touch-sensitivity, more nuance, and
creates complex overtones while keeping the inherent tone of whatever amp and guitar you're playing through!
It's like lifting off the blanket that traditional diode-clipped pedals put on your sound.
Because of its huge amount of available output, the OCD works great as an Overdrive in front of amps to goose
them into submission, as well as through Master-Volume amps to drive them much harder than most OD's, but it
also excels at creating its own distortion with all the chime of a Class A amp and its complex array of overtones.
The OCD gives you the feeling that your amp is Cranked at even living room volumes so Clean playing is more
dynamic and dirty sounds still have the ringing overtones. And the greatest thing is that you can access a slew of
other in-between sounds by simply turning down your guitar's volume control.
