OCD + 2b Dual Overdrive + Boost Pedal

DIY dual pedal combo of the Fulltone 2B boost (left side) and the germanium OCD (right) with an order switcher in between the stomp switches. Goose the OCD into slightly higher gain or use it after for a clean boost and - according to Fulltone - smooth things out a bit.

The boost side is a nice clean boost, can overdrive my amp really well when cranked. The dynamics control isn't something that will noticeably change the tone, it's really subtle and supposedly controls "transient spikes." I don't know, I just leave that at noon.

With the enclosure orientation I had to wire the OCD pots off board, so it is held in place by the lid and sits over a low profile footswitch. That switch has a very short throw, and doesn't need much pressure - just a little tap is enough to activate it, which is nice. The boost side is a regular 3pdt switch and has the expected "click" when pressed. Filter switch is the OCD HP/LP control, changes the voicing up a bit.

Both circuits have two NOS 1n34a germanium diodes. Lumberg jacks, uv-printed enclosure supposed to look kind of like an ammo can. Yellow led for the boost, red for distortion.
