OCD V2 verses prev version?
I hadn’t realized they’d officially released a version 2, so haven’t had chance to try it! My 1.4 is standard on my board, and I don’t feel like the enhanced buffering/tweaks will make me try it - interested to hear from others though,

Re: OCD V2 verses prev version?
According to Fuller there were 7 small revisions mostly changing a few resistor or capacitor values, and clipping diodes from 1.1 to 1.7, then this is a decent change to v2.
Edit - no more YouTube embedding?

As of 2009, yes.

Wow, the OCD doesn't sound 'transparent' at all. It has more gain than I'd thought. But I think the term 'transparent' is a little misleading. I think most people tend to think that it just sounds like you aren't getting the sound from an overdrive pedal, as opposed to the amp.

It’s the specific YouTube tags that aren’t working. The generic video tags (the filmstrip icon) are still working.

Hi,
First, I have a friend who has played in serious recording and touring bands his whole life, is semi retired, and his OCD, although not new, sounds great, terrific with a Strat, and an 18 watt Marshall combo. Hendrix studio tone great, think VooDoo Chile' (Slight Return) great!
So, I have a zillion pedals, not the OCD V2, BUT-I CAN speak to the new way of buffering he speaks of. I was grappling for a new chorus, and TC Electonics has one with "true bypass" or a much hyped "Super Buffer" switch inside the unit I could use to try either manually. Trim pot I think he called it.
So I tried the unit on true bypass and this new Super buffer, and the new buffer was just like plugging right into the amp, no other pedals around. In an 8 pedal pedalboard!!! Wow. So I tried a 1 year old in place Boss delay with a standard buffer in place of the chorus, no true bypass option, standard buffer, and it was dull in my pedal chain in comparison. I will bet you a dollar to a doughnut, that both of these "New Buffers" are almost the same. So my small piece of advice is to give this new buffer a serious seat at the table when deciding.
