A Deluxe Version of the Esteemed OCD
For over 20 years, the Fulltone OCD has been a pedalboard staple, and the Obsessive Compulsive D-Lux is the evolution of that storied stompbox and the most capable version yet. Refined over years of tone tweaking and player feedback, the OCD-Lux features two stackable drive sections, each with two modes and individual controls, giving you a versatile range of overdrive and distortion tones. You get the classic OCD voicings, including V1, V2, and Custom Shop Germanium, plus the new Raw mode, which delivers even louder, more aggressive tones than the pedal’s previous voicings. In addition to individual Volume, Drive, and Tone controls, each side includes an HP/LP switch that toggles between British-leaning (High Peak) and American-style (Low Peak) tones. Additionally, the Class A discrete 2N5457 JFET input stage bumps up the pedal’s impedance for increased dynamics and musical interaction with your guitar’s pickups, and a premium output buffer provides consistent tone regardless of the pedal’s position in your signal chain. Four top-mounted jacks enable flexible routing, such as placing effects between the two circuits or reversing their order via external switching. Like its forebears, this classic dirt box uses the same MOSFET transistors and unique voltage-controlled clipping to deliver the sounds you love, while adding updated features for unprecedented versatility. The Fulltone OCD-Lux is a serious tone machine and a solid foundation for your pedalboard.

Every era of OCD at your feet
Featuring V1, V2, and germanium voices, along with the new Raw mode, the OCD-Lux offers a wide range of boost, overdrive, and distortion tones to pummel your amp. On the left side, you can switch between the original OCD voice (VTG) and Raw mode, which has higher volume, less compression, and a more aggressive overall sound; on the right side, you can choose between V2 and Custom Shop Germanium voices. Each side has its own tone-shaping controls and input and output jacks, providing maximum flexibility. What's more, the ability to stack the circuits lets you craft signature dirt tones that always match the music at hand. Whatever overdrive or distortion tone you're looking for, it's inside the OCD-Lux.
Enhanced Bypass preserves every nuance of your playing
Fulltone’s obsession with tone drove the company to scrap conventional buffered-bypass designs and, after years of R&D, invent Enhanced Bypass — a Class A FET arrangement that preserves every subtle nuance of your playing. Rather than the unity-gain FET buffers found in most pedals, the OCD-Lux’s Class A FET stage, in the words of Fulltone founder Mike Fuller, “returns all the dynamics,” delivering an expressiveness and touch sensitivity you simply can’t get from traditional circuits. And when you crave absolute transparency, an internal switch flips the OCD-Lux into true bypass mode, giving you the choice between cutting-edge buffering and pedal-to-amp purity.
Built to inspire: Fulltone’s legacy of sonic excellence
Fueled by a lifelong passion for music and an uncompromising pursuit of world-class tone, Mike Fuller founded Fulltone in 1993, setting a new standard in the world of guitar effects. From iconic overdrives to studio-grade modulation, Fulltone pedals have earned their place among the most respected tools in modern music. Crafted with precision for both live performance and studio recording, each Fulltone product is a testament to reliability, innovation, and sonic excellence. Sweetwater stands proudly behind these American-built pedals. They’re not just built to inspire; they’re built to last a lifetime.
