I’ve never had an OCD before and thought why not? It’s one of the most popular drive pedals of all time and I think the Fulldrive 2 is the best SD-1/TS9 based circuits, so let’s give it a shot. This is a V1.4 from Reverb, great condition and a nice price.
First impressions don’t disappoint, something I really like is how usable it is from LP low gain to HP high gain. Not as spongy as the JFET based Marshall in a box pedals, but not as stiff as a Distortion+ style circuit. More touch responsive too. Of course it stacks well with the FD2 for focused leads too. I’m enjoying it so far.
The interesting thing is that many people claim the Dan side of the D&M Drive is OCD based, and while you can get them very similar it certain settings, it doesn’t seem like a clone to me. I feel like the OCD has a wider range of usable gain, especially on the low side. (D&M doesn’t need that, since the Boost side is incredible but still) Anyway, still on the long quest for the ultimate mid sized board. 69->FD2->OCD may be a winner.
