Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Mosfet Overdrive Pedal Review

Written by admin on April 3, 2009 – 2:01 pm -

In this effects pedal review, I am going to be taking a look at the Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Mosfet overdrive pedal for the guitar, which is really one of the best pedals available these days.  This is the most recent Fulldrive dual stage overdrive pedal from Fulltone. It has some great features, and produces some truly amazing tones. The  settings on this pedal allow you to really shape your sound. It provides a great Transparent tone, while also providing plenty of Boost and Overdrive. The Fulltone also has a separate Boost channel, which makes it like having two pedals in one

.

Specs for the Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Mosfet Overdrive Pedal

The Basics:

• The Fulltone offers clean boost, and Overdrive.
• It has two channels, the Overdrive Mode and the Boost Mode, which ultimately allows this one pedal to do the work of two.
• This pedal is also very durable. It is housed in an blue powder coated 16 gauge steel enclosure.
• The Fulltone Fulldrive has a wide range of very responsive settings (Volume, Tone, Overdrive and Boost)

The Sound:

• Great for adding a boost to your clean guitar sound.
• Provides non-compressed Overdrive. The Overdrive level can range from soft to medium and effectively preserves your guitar’s original tone.
• Adds violin like sustain
• Perfect for many different styles of playing like Rock, Metal, Blues and Country.

The Settings:

• Volume – Controls the output level of the pedal
• Tone – Very responsive presence control that can be used to smooth out and add harmonics to your sound. There are three different modes for Tone selection that the user can toggle through. This adds a lot of versatility to the pedal.

1. Compcut – This setting is perfect for adding clean boost to your sound. Plenty of volume comes along with this setting and it provides a wide range of tones.
2. FM (Flat Mids) - Produces a very transparent tone that allows your guitar’s original sound to stand out. A lot of overtones come through with this setting.
3. Vintage – Adds more gain, mid range and sustain.

• Overdrive – Controls amount/level of drive that is add to your sound.
• Boost – There are two different Boost modes that the user can switch between.

1. Standard – Provides your basic clean Boost

Overall, this is a really great Overdrive/Boost pedal that I highly recommend looking into. It has very responsive controls that allow for it to have a wide range of tonal capabilities. The Fulltone is  sure to fit right into your style of playing.
