I've been curious about this one for a while. I tried one when I got my Xotic BB Preamp and like the BB a bit better so I didn't get an OCD then but I'm kind of wondering about them now...

AMPS...if you've ever owned a GREAT amp, like a Marshall 18 watt, a VOX AC15, a Marshall JTM45 and if you have a place where you can crank them up loud, then you know what I'm talking about... Smack a power chord and you (not only) hear the fundamental notes...but you get (count 'em) 4, 5, even 6 additional overtones ringing into a feedback... notes that you can whistle if your ear is good enough! Think; Zep's "Ocean," "Custard Pie," Classic tones including James Gang, the Beatles, AC/DC, FREE., etc.
Back off the guitar's volume and there are a dozen great other sounds at your fingertips... Clean, spanky sounds, with all the highs and lows still intact. And a Tele still sounds like a Tele, a Les Paul like a Les Paul.
PEDALS (until now) just can't hold a candle to what a good amp can do if you are really picky. You not only lose all the touch sensitivity, but forget about those complex Harmonics. (For me) It's always been somewhat of a compromise using Overdrive pedals... until now. Ladies and Gentleman, Fulltone is proud to introduce the Fulltone OCD. Mike Fuller made this pedal for himself, but he thinks you might like it too.
This video is kind of a cool comparison of the 4 "incarnations" of the pedal and its neat to hear how a pedal evolves over time...

Here is a comparison of the Zvex "Box of Rock" that was so popular in Denver Daves shootout video yesterday and the OCD
