OVERDRIVE- FULLTONE OCD Ge ...yes the famous OCD but with germanium transistors

$195.00 USD
 FULLTONE OCD Ge 

Well it is not really new. lol
The first generation of OCD's had germanium transistors but the manufacturer discontinued them and Fulltone redesigned the pedal.
Recently a few handful showed up so they decided to do a limited edition until they run out.

Nothing new in the overall responsiveness. The sound is fat and very chunky and it still has a very limited amount of sustain.
The price is reasonable for a real limited edition ...
(not just a change in the colour of the paint. lol)

The standard is still $130.00 USD.
CONCLUSION
Well the price is fair. The sound is much warmer but even fatter. The standard OCD is a fairly dark sounding pedal ...that dark sound came over with a lot more aggressive then this. If you get one of the 'blue meanies' it will soon become a collectors item as there has never been a bigger selling OD created in this century.
I like fat and warm but I like the better definition of the standard pedal.
