Fulltone · pedal

The Fulltone Custom Shop OCD Gold Standard LTD is a limited-edition Custom Shop variant of Fulltone's celebrated OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Drive) overdrive/distortion pedal, built around the same MOSFET-based gain stage and dual-clipping-mode design that made the OCD a staple on countless pedalboards. It offers the OCD's signature amp-like, dynamically responsive drive spanning crunchy overdrive to more aggressive distortion, now in a distinctive Gold Standard limited-run finish for collectors.
