fulltone OCD - best version?

No idea which version mine is, but I like it more than the DLS

 

I have both, and I like both a great deal. They're both Marshall flavored overdrives, but IMO, they're going for different Marshall flavors. If you're looking for a heavier, more modern Marshall (JCM800) then the DLS is probably the better choice. If you are after more of a JTM45 type of vibe, then I'd recommend going with the OCD.

 

YMMV. :)

I've never played a V4, but based on this video, I'd say it's no contest - V3 is the winner. And that's the one I happen to have. Great pedal.

i agree--I have the v4, but I have no complaints. great pedal.

That's if you use it with a clean amp setting. In a dirty amp, I preferred the OCD to the DLS because the bass remained tight.

From that vid, I'd say about the only thing v1.7 has going for it is that it's got more output (based on the positions of the Level knob). I find it harsher and lacking in the low-end. The 1.4 version just has a more rounded and versatile sound. That said, in the 1.1-1.4 shootout, I like v1.3 the best, but would take a 1.4 if I couldn't get the 1.3.
