pengenalan
The Fulltone OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Drive) is a legendary overdrive pedal designed to deliver rich, dynamic, amp-like tone. Built with a MOSFET clipping circuit and Class-A input stage, it responds naturally to picking intensity and guitar volume changes, producing expressive overdrive that feels warm, open, and highly responsive. It features a High-Peak / Low-Peak toggle switch for versatile voicing, offering enhanced upper-mid presence for an aggressive British-style bite or a smoother, more transparent American-style response. The intuitive 3-knob control layout (Volume, Drive, Tone) allows for fast and precise sound shaping. Designed with a high-quality output buffer and enhanced bypass circuitry, it preserves signal strength and clarity, preventing tone loss or high-frequency degradation. Housed in a rugged metal enclosure, the Fulltone OCD is built for reliability in both live and studio environments, ensuring dependable performance and long-term durability.
Persediaan
The Fulltone OCD pedal can be powered by a standard 9V battery or a 9V DC power adapter. Ensure the power supply provides at least 43mA of current. To connect the pedal, plug your guitar into the 'INPUT' jack and connect the 'OUTPUT' jack to your amplifier's input. For optimal performance, use high-quality instrument cables.

Gain Switch (Internal)
The pedal features an internal gain switch that acts as a boost. This can be accessed internally or, on some versions, controlled via an external expression pedal. This switch provides additional gain for more saturated tones.
High Cut (Internal)
An internal high-cut switch is available to reduce excessive treble, particularly useful when using higher drive settings or brighter amplifiers. This switch can be adjusted using a small tool like a toothpick or Q-tip.
Kawalan Pedal Ekspresi
The Fulltone OCD includes a jack for an expression pedal, allowing external control over the gain switch. This enables seamless transitions between different gain stages during performance.
Penyelenggaraan
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fulltone OCD pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Pembersihan: Gunakan kain lembut dan kering untuk membersihkan bahagian luar pedal. Elakkan pembersih atau pelarut yang kasar.
- Storan: Store the pedal in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
- Penggantian Bateri: If using a 9V battery, replace it when the indicator LED dims or the sound quality degrades. To replace, unscrew the bottom plate of the pedal.

Menyelesaikan masalah
If you encounter issues with your Fulltone OCD pedal, consider the following:
- Tiada Bunyi: Periksa semua sambungan kabel (gitar ke input, output ke amp). Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and functioning, or replace the 9V battery.
- Weak/Distorted Sound: Verify the power supply is providing sufficient current (at least 43mA). Check the battery level if applicable. Ensure all knobs are set appropriately and not at extreme settings that might cause unwanted artifacts.
- Excessive Treble: Adjust the Tone knob to a warmer setting. If the issue persists, consider engaging the internal High Cut switch.
- Bunyi yang tidak diingini: Ensure you are using a regulated power supply. Check for faulty cables or interference from other electronic devices.
