“ Lucky for me, I actually own a Fulltone OCD…. to compare Warm Audio’s ODD…. Starting with the ODD, it’s astonishing how much the ODD actually feels like an OCD in your hand, having nearly the same substantial weight. But what’s more important is tone, and the ODD, again, in its impressiveness, sounds almost indistinguishable from the OCD. The ODD delivers that unmistakable dynamic overdrive that approaches distortion – just like the OCD – in a lively and forthright manner, poking and cutting through with what feels like a natural tube-like response.
It’s staggering to hear how well the ODD is able to match the OCD’s distinct overdriven character in the same sweetly saturated way. I’ll also point out I spent more time with the UK setting rather than the US simply because the UK setting provided a much warmer tone, whereas the US setting had more treble bite and cleaner boost, which I found complementary when I stacked the ODD with other drive pedals.”
The Texan effects and audio specialist takes on the Fulltone OCD and the Mu-Tron Phasor II, and reinvents them for today's players. But do they hold up to the originals that inspired them?
