OCD Germanium
OCD Germanium
The OCD Germanium keeps that classic OCD character—open, uncompressed, and super dynamic—but the germanium diodes make it feel even more amp-like. It covers a huge range from clean/low gain boost to higher gain saturation without getting muddy, and it cleans up great off the guitar volume.
Pros
- +Open, uncompressed drive with a wide gain range
- +Stays clear when gain is cranked (doesn’t flub out)
- +Cleans up really well with guitar volume
- +HP/LP switch adds Marshall-like push or more transparent boosting
Cons
- -If you want heavily compressed drive, this is more open and dynamic by design
