Fulltone OCD V2 Demo (Strat and Peavey Classic 30)

[cm0220ster]

CLean channel sounds sweet also, what more do you need outside time based effects.

[cm0220ster]

I agree that the reason you buy a two channel amp is to not drag pedals around, otherwise spend the extra on a great sound clean amp and add pedals to taste. The channel switching, the good sounding lead channel and the reduction in weight ( with the options to leave pedals at home ) is the reason I'm looking at this video. And I own an OCD and RC booster.

[Marathonmarch]

Man I thought that sounded bad on the clean channel of that classic 30, that being said I have had a hard time finding an overdrive or distortion that sounded natural for the clean channel. I thought the way huge green overdrive II sounded fantastic on the dirty channel gave it that extra umph sounded like a modified JCM 900 I use to have

[Guitar4blues]

@BZ nice job. Big advantage of pedals is that you can get the tones you're looking for without cranking your amp; a huge advantage when playing in smaller venues or trying to keep stage volume levels tolerable. Your OCD seems a bit noisy though

[sthugh]

I don't care for the OCD myself. It sounded better before you switched it on, and overdriving the Peavey harder would give a much better sound altogether.

[BluesZep]

@sthugh

It's your taste

[sthugh]

@BluesZep I'm just not much of a pedal guy Fernando. I feel like, if you have to put a pedal in front of an amp, then you've got the wrong amp. Or the amp needs beefing up. Or you've got the wrong guitar. Or the wrong pickps. I'd rather work on those things and keep my signal chain as pure as possible. But I also understand that a pedal is a quick fix and often cheaper than customizing an amp etc. So that's cool with me. Carry on guitar man.

[Fishies125]

@sthugh Just shows how opinions differ. I love the sound of a good pedal driving a good amp; more so than just amp distortion most of the time. It just has a smoother, cleaner sound to me. Even SRV preferred clean headroom on the amp with pedals for overdrive.

[levinjapan]

Cara teus vídeos são irados!! Já teve a chance de ouvir o som das outras versões do OCD? Se já teve, o que acha delas?

Abração!!

[BluPup8]

Hi BluesZep, nice demo. At times it's almost like there is no pedal except there is because it's adding the dirt to the sound. Is your Classic 30 one of the ones with the curved top part (newer one)? It sounds quite brite is it a stock speaker?

[dicemansr77]

Excellent demo! I just ordered one a few minute ago. I haven't talked to you in a while - I hope you've been well!

[SingleCoilVoodoo]

Great demo Zep. I happened to stumble across this as I was looking at OCD demos. I am currently running 2 Ibanez TS9 pedals for cascading od stages, but am considering going with the OCD. Great sounds brother.

[diegoxis007]

how big is the peavey classic 30?

thinkin of getting one

[iamyourecho]

i can hear some blue skills!!! ;-)

btw did you use the ocd on 9 or 18 volts?

[BluesZep]

Thanks!

I use it on 9 volts

[fulltonefan]

Hey great demo! I have a couple questions.

How is the clean channel?

How does it react to overdrive pedals?

I would be using a TS Clone, a Fulldrive 2 Mosfet, and a Blackstar HT-Dual.

[kwyt]

Sometimes i use OCD (version 3) boosted with TS-808. They sound great together.

[ealove21]

which version of the ocd is this?

[BluesZep]

hmm, did you read the title?

[ktmdean2006]

your playing has direct roots to god

[fjlorente]

dude awesome tone!

[jorace1]

Thanks for this demo - I love the sound of it with the drive up full!

[BluesZep]

Thank you for watching!

[BluesZep]

Sorry, I don't know any other. Do you?

[actorcool]

your tone is killer man. nice

[aryanstallyan]

dude that "ocd" pedal makes no difference

[ChanceCooper125]

You are completely deaf then.

[rjetpereira]

Also. How is this thing one the bass notes> Does it fart out? That's my main problem with the Cube-60. Plus I just want a damn TUBE AMP! I purchased the Laney LCR15 thinking it would be enough but the poor thing was too small and not enough cleans at high volumes for me.

[BluesZep]

I have never notice it. The bass are tight, but keep in mind that I play blues, classic rock, and MPB. I don't know if bass notes keep tight with extreme distortion (and I don't know if it's your case).

[rjetpereira]

Really thinking of buying this amp.

What number does it break up at?

How loud can it get before it breaks up?

I have a Roland Cube-60 and I'm really in for an upgrade. No stacks for me because I play only medium to small gigs. If anything I'll mike up this bad boy.

[BluesZep]

This amp is pretty loud, it breaks up around 5. It's volume enough for medium and small gigs, louder than the heaviest drummer you can play with.

[rhcpmd]

did you change the tubes? because a friend that has it told me that it breaks up at 8.

[SingleCoilVoodoo]

I own both the classic 50 and classic 30. They both have a ton of headroom. If you are driving them to the point they break up, your neighbors have already called the police. I have never had either of mine over 5-6.

[Danklin24]

This is some of the best tone ive heard on youtube. Wow.

[Demboskt]

lol im naked! v

[sharpant]

Hey mate, I'm stuck between a fender blues deluxe and a peavey classic, opinions? Is your amp modified in any way or is it 100% stock?

[BluesZep]

Both are great amps, but C30 is more suitable for the tones I use to play. My amp is stock, except power tubes, that are JJ.

[Danklin24]

fender blues definitely although this has some really nice tone.

[SLASH4LIFE111]

does the OCD realy worth it?

i don't know if to buy it or a booster for my DS1...

[guitarnlax36]

Dude i just got the OCD today and holy shit man its amazing. I put my blues junior on 1 with the master volume on 2 and i put on the OCD with full everything on the HP selector and it made it go from nothing to FULL GAIN BOOST CRANKED! i can go on and on but this thing is amazing! SO WORTH IT

[matrixman609]

lol. its true. boss is way overrated. there are way more brands that are better. fulltone, elctro-harmonix, t-rex, and just about everyone else too!

[mindphlux]

zvex is the best man

[geeterman98]

if you used a guitar with high output pups you can get the high gain of EVH or even metal.you really have to drive the tubes on a classic 30 to get that serious break up you're looking for with metal...but its not a metal amp by no means

[Arvio]

The boost function really helps to nail some of those high gain marshall style tones. Of course the sound isn`t going to be exactly Van Halen but what I meant is that it`s closer to hard rock than thrash metal :)

[Arvio]

Classic 30`s overdrive channel is much more aggressive than the classic 50`s, in my opinion. I could imagine someone playing metal with it but the sound is more Van Halen than Slayer. There`s still much more gain compared to classic 50 and the quality of the overdrive sounds better to my ears. But with classic 50`s clean channel...man, you`re in country heaven!

[BluesZep]

Agreed!

[costaricangeneral]

i think its because the classic 30(combo, obviously) is running through one 12" and the two versions of the classic 50 run through a 2x12 and a 4x10... Some people forget that the speaker breaks up and distort just the same way the tubes do... any ways great amp and demo playing.

[udaz14]

Could this amp play along with drums without sounding shit? if i had a good Metal distortion pedal, could i pull it off with this amp? and mix the distortion in on the drive channel?

[mojo292]

I doubt you would get metal sounds out of this amp, I had Peavey Classic 50 and it was suited best for blues/classic rock. Good amp, but not the best choice for metal, try an Orange amp(tiny terror if a big one is out of your budget.)

[BluesZep]

I think this amp is not good for metal sounds. There are more suitable amps for this kind of music.

[rokr432]

For metal, get the Valveking and a Tubescreamer. Check out some of the vids by Jamie Oldfield. His metal tone is sick.

[playutot]

yahh tell us the setting of your amp

[EPILPROCKER]

get your own sound! He worked hard for his, and you should do the same.

[TechnicolorTypeA]

yo can you tell me your settings on the amp???!?!

[davidarlette]

That's not a real OCD pedal. You only pressed it once to turn it on. If it was a real OCD pedal you'd have to keep clicking it on lots and lots of times to make SURE it was on :-P

Thanks for your vids, I'm auditioning a Classic 30.

[raiderslax22]

lol i dont think many people got your joke since you have 2 thumbs down

[davidarlette]

Naw, that was the same guy twice. He had to press it the second time just to make sure. It'll be -6 by the end of the week :-P Apparently it really does stand for "Obsessive Compulsive Drive."

[grammar911]

now that you explained it, that actually is pretty funny lol

[ACDCfanatic234]

That actually was pretty funny dude.

[orlyorlywtf]

@davidarlette wat this means?

[kirksART]

Why is it called ocd? sounds awsome

[jin12345678]

it stands for obessive compulsive drive I think??Hehe

[ThankGodForCountry]

obsessive compulsive distortion

[ElPalucho]

Nice video, i love that sound! :) I've got a Classic 30, too. Can you tell me, how you set up the EQ for this demo?

[redlightklondike]

great demo! thanks for showing us the basics of what the pedal and amp can do. what's with all the arguing anyway?

[BluesZep]

Sorry?

[Lazyboy5298]

this or a valveking?

[martinlutherkingIII]

valveking has the marshall sound, and the classic 30 is more like a fender amp.

[Manu9078]

Depends on what your style is. Classic rock? Then go for the Classic 30 (lol)

If you want more versatility, go for the valveking

[Diisafatslag]

i have a valveking. the valveking can do metal better than the classic 30.

[voltaspeeder17]

Really nice jamming ;) I just love the sound!

[TUBEMAN192]

this or fulldrive2 ?

[BluesZep]

OCD

[bwolz1]

Do you find that the OCD compresses at medium to high overdrive setings? I am asking this because I also have a OCD (V3) and a Peavey Classic 30 and was wondering if the amp was the problem or if I should change my pickups in my guitar, a Gibson LP Studio.

[blanikyt]

what version of the OCD is this? (i believe there's 4 or 5 versions)

[BluesZep]

Version #2

[blahman178]

Hi, nice demo! Does this pedal layer well with other pedals (could I boost it with a tubescreamer type pedal?)

[darkarbiter7]

Sounds good.

I'm at a crossroads whether or not I should buy an OCD. I will have the budget, but I already have a modded tubescreamer, a grey DOD 250, and a soon to be attenuator.

I'm not sure if spending another 150 bucks on an OD when it's already similar to my 250 (tranparent, crunchy)

[blahman178]

How heavy does this pedal get with a strat?

[blahman178]

I love this pedal, the MI Audio Crunch Box is awesome too. The Crunch Box has heavier gain, but is slightly less transparent.

[Priole2000]

The OCD is definitely better suited to a Peavey Classic 30 though. You'll never get that Van Halen-eque type distortion out of this amp anyway.

[Vandatta1]

i have the same amp and i am thinking about buying this pedal. Can you use this pedal while on the gain channel of the classic 30 at the same time? Like, can you have the pre at 12, so max gain, and the volume wherever you want. Can you then turn on the pedal and give a gain boost but not cover up the amps original tone?

[BluesZep]

Yes, OCD is also an excelent booster. But I think there are many good boosters out there, and OCD is a great overdrive. I prefer to use it like an overdrive.

[james0033]

whats the fuzz for dude?

[moraltf4]

parabens...tambem tenho um C30 e um tube sound igual ao seu...estou seriamente pensando num OCD, justamente pela caracteristica transparencia dele...o que não sinto muito no Tube, que enche de medios...vc é de BH ? se for , é seu o C30 que fica no Beggiato ? se for, hehehe sera que eu te conheço ?? Um abraço Claudio Moraleida

[BluesZep]

Valeu Claudio. Eu não moro em BH, mas já fui muito no Beggiato. Meu C30 eu comprei na Soulshine.

Quanto ao OCD, o que mais aprecio nele é a transparencia. Ele não modifica o timbre mesmo, é muito natural.

Acho que te conheço dos foruns (GuitarCorner, Electric-Jam). Meu user lá é Fernando.

Abraço!

[acdcshow]

Great sound misses more than a concert lol

[rg2027x]

nice work..sounds like it does a good job of keeping the original tone intact without muddying out the signal

[guitarheroez]

Could we see some more demos with the C30 and a few of your other pedals? Many people would appreciate and enjoy them!

[BluesZep]

Thanks, this is #2 version

[laxrappa11]

this is how every demo of any pedal should be done, thanks a lot

[kunfumidjet]

im confused... is that amp next to you a carvin nomad..

lol i have that amp and i swear it looks exactly the same from what i can see..

[BluesZep]

No, it's a Peavey Classic 30

[Yousef2519]

that is such beautifully disgusting tone. I love it. 5*

[gantman]

great stuff man!

[metal71]

I just got the version 3 OCD and I love it. It's super touch sensitive; play light, and it cleans up. Play hard, and it rocks out. It's really more like another instrument than just a pedal.

[gixxerloverletsgo21]

AWESOME playing and dito tone!!!!

[chrasywolf]

Nice playing!

[hafstrat]

Cool. Love that Peavey.. sounds almost Hiwatt.

[usr0]

muy bien, muchas gracias por la demo!!!!!!!

[chuck1016]

thanks for the demo. I play a Highway 1 Strat through a Classic 30, so this was exactly what I was looking for. I'm still not sold on distortion pedals. I get some really great sounds out of the amp without them, but this gives me something else to think about :]

[rowlands4ever]

wow great pedal!!!

[mroutlaw38]

running on 9 or 18 volts?

[BluesZep]

9 volts

[TroppoFunky]

The OCD can run at 18 volts as well as 9v. You should try it, it reaches new frequencies, maybe a little bit more sharper than the 9 volts sound....but is worth a try...you might love it!!! Thanks for your video btw, is great!!!

[1076rj]

awesome dude , i want it

[12242342423]

very nice demo!

thx

[blindado70]

opa! tou querendo adquirir um c30 tb e um fulldrive 2 mosfet e talvez um ocd tenbho uma strato american standard vc sabe se o ocd tem mais distorção q o fulldrive 2?

[BluesZep]

Opa, blz? O OCD tem mais ganho que o Fulldrive 2 sim.

[marcelcruzeiro]

Vendo esse video, meu bolso começou a se contorcer de dor. Agora, preciso de um OCD da Fulltone. gamei na regulagem mais baixa. Tranparencia incrivel, adicionando mais "mordida", sem roubar o low end do timbre. Esse led azul é dele mesmo ou é um mod? Entre esse e um Sparkle Drive, qual seria a melhor aposta?

[BluesZep]

Sinceramente, na minha opinião o OCD é imbatível quando se quer um drive mais transparente possível. Você pode notar que o timbre do amp permanece o mesmo, porém com o overdrive. É um pedal excelente, e se sua necessidade é um drive transparente, pode ir nele tranquilo. Quanto ao led, ele é azul mesmo, não modifiquei nada. Abraço!

[jumpmarine]

Nice tone and playing! Is that a stock C30? What pups in your strat?

[BluesZep]

Hi, the C30 is stock, except the tubes. It has JJ power tubes, miniwatt and EH preamp tubes. This strat has some ceramic korean pickups.

[varkunus]

is that a fulltone clyde in the background there> If so demo please

[BluesZep]

Sorry, I don't have a fulltone clyde.

[thoschi]

hmmmmm i like the beginning without OCD the most..... :/

[kkooss16]

man thats some serious tone you got, loved the AC/DC cover too, play some more rock!

[wolfje91]

What is the difference between Version 1,2 or 3 OCD?

[BluesZep]

The tone control has been altered a little, adding more midrange. More informations you can read on the fulltone's site. There is a pdf file explaining all the changes and the serial number that tells what version OCD is.

[JoyGuru]

sweet playing dude.....that's a pretty cool pedal too......!!!!

[yeptwasme]

nice demo... thank you

[sifender56]

Hi, nice vid...is this a Version 1,2 or 3 OCD?

[BluesZep]

Hi, thanks! This is the #2 version

[SickCanary]

Awesome Demo - thanks a lot!

[wolfje91]
