About This Pedal
The Fulltone Custom Shop OCD-Ge Gold Standard is a limited-edition take on the OCD-Ge, pairing the familiar OCD drive platform with germanium clipping and a premium Metallic Gold finish. It keeps the wide-range overdrive and distortion character that made the OCD a staple while adding a softer, smoother response from the Ge circuit.
The Ge version uses a pair of matched germanium diodes alongside the MOSFET clipping section, giving the pedal a different feel from the standard OCD V2. It has a softer attack, smoother top end, and a more vintage-leaning breakup character, especially at lower to medium gain settings.
The control layout stays simple and practical: Drive, Volume, Tone, and the HP/LP switch. Drive controls the gain range, Volume sets the output level, and Tone focuses on the high-frequency response. The HP/LP switch lets you choose between a more driven, mid-forward High Peak mode and a more open Low Peak mode that keeps more of the guitar and amp character intact.
The Custom Shop Gold Standard version adds an Ultra-Premium Metallic Gold finish with high-gloss graphics, Custom Shop build details, and a serialized, numbered Fulltone USA Certificate of Authenticity. It is hand-built in the USA with top-tier components.
The OCD-Ge can run from a 9V battery or 9–18V DC power supply. Running at 18V gives the pedal more headroom and a cleaner, wider response, while standard 9V operation keeps the setup simple for most pedalboards.
