The v1.4 is scooped, with more low‑end, more top‑end and a slightly fuzz‑like top gain. Many players say the V2 cuts through a busy mix better; the v1.4 sounds bigger on its own. Both are current Fulltone products, sold as different SKUs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference vs the Custom Shop OCD‑Ge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The OCD‑Ge is a limited Custom Shop build that adds two vintage‑style germanium diodes alongside the MOSFETs. Expect a bit more dynamic range, more sustain and a rounder, more tube‑amp‑like feel on single notes. It's a different SKU and typically priced higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich switch position — HP or LP — should I start with?\u003c\/strong\u003e Start in LP if you want the OCD to sit on top of your amp's natural sound (clean boost, Fender\/Blackface‑style crunch, transparent overdrive). Switch to HP for more gain, more output and a Vox\/Marshall mid push for lead work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I have to use True‑Bypass or Enhanced Bypass?\u003c\/strong\u003e The OCD V2 ships with an internal switch so you can pick either. Enhanced Bypass keeps the signal buffered even when the pedal is off, which helps at the end of long cable runs and long pedalboard chains. True‑Bypass takes the circuit fully out of the signal path when the pedal is off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I run it at 18 V?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Any regulated 9–18 V DC supply with a 2.1 × 5.5 mm center‑negative barrel plug works. Running at 18 V opens up more headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery or adapter?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 9 V battery is included. Most players use a regulated 9 V or 18 V DC pedal power supply on a pedalboard; the OCD draws only about 8 mA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it really made in the USA?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the OCD V2 is hand‑built at Fulltone's California facility, with the fabric‑insulated wiring, film capacitors and Fulltone 3PDT footswitch Fulltone is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Fulltone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46354366234877,"sku":"676891000322","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/7100\/7485\/files\/fulltone-ocd-v2-overdrive-pedal-top-view.jpg?v=1785431350","url":"https:\/\/pedalzoo.com\/products\/fulltone-ocd-v2-overdrive-pedal","provider":"Pedalzoo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
