Warm Audio ODD Box V1

Warm Audio · pedal

The Warm Audio ODD Box V1 is a hard-clipping overdrive pedal built as a faithful, affordable recreation of the Fulltone OCD, with ODD standing for Over Drive Disorder. It reproduces the OCDs dynamic overdrive-into-distortion character with a lively, forthright, tube-like response, and includes a UK and US voicing switch for two distinct dirt tones. Reviewers describe it as sounding almost indistinguishable from the original OCD at a fraction of the price, with a throaty gain character at lower tone settings that opens up into more scream as the tone control is raised. It is versatile enough to serve as a self-contained high-gain channel into a clean amp or to push an already-driven amp into heavier saturation. Suited to players who want OCD-style dynamic overdrive without the originals cost.
