«  Three in one! »

Published on 09/20/12 at 12:38
This pedal has three effects: A drive very inspired Tubescreamer, compressor and use a boost on the drive and comp.

To activate the comp must lift the volume knob of the pedal, so impossible to drive in the comp kicked in, it may bother some.

Handmade in United state.

This version is no longer made, I got mine by exchanging Fulltone Fulldrive Mosfet against one, the store with whom I am sharing the 120 was selling opportunity.

I much prefer the side roots than it has!

UTILIZATION

It quickly finds the desired sound: A volume, tone and gain for the part and Comp Drive and a gain boost for party.

I had're not with the manual but I wonder what he would have served.

SOUND QUALITY

Drive part:

Tubescreamer copy, the only one I could have compared and Maxon Od-9. I love the texture of the Fulldrive I find quite hot, not too transistor. I used mostly a slight boost on crunch, almost never clear sound. It very well boost the sound for rhythm and we can have a big lead thanks to the boost, very typical vintage for my part, that's what I love, this bump in the midrange.
Part Drive clean boost just be interesting to bring color, especially since you can continue to use the pedal as a boost thanks to overdrive.

Party Comp:

The, my advice is to be taken lightly, I did not use compressor before (and still now) because I do es not need.
I explored the possibility any time offered by this curiosity.
I found the compressor without the boost pretty good, I especially are used to set the tone for 14h brought brilliance to the sound with the gain almost to the bottom to add a touch of crunch sound. I found it interesting setting to boost the crunch of my Ac-15 (More interesting than using the drive in clean boost I think).
When we switched the boost you end up with a pretty big gain but not typed but Tubescreamer Marshall (At least it sounds like that to my ears), I found that sound really good, comes in very many punch, perfect for playing the Hard Rock so 70's!

I used a lot to boost my other drive.
Swollen Pickle for the mix out and add to the devastating fuzz bass and my Ds2 him to add a little heat.
I would say if well boost booster Rat because I preferred my Fulldrive with the rat than the reverse.

OVERALL OPINION

It'll make more than 4 years that I use a Fulldrive and I do not intend to be replaced!

I've served in three different formations: A group of psychedelic blues-rock, alternative rock band and a pair of pop-rock and ambient each, I managed to get a good sound for each of its training no worries!

The pedal can be chére nine, but used it well worth it!
The boost is not really a gadget and comp can do his job to troubleshoot.

A really great pedal, solid construction and go anywhere!
I just want to try to compare a Maxon od820 that makes me the eye but the possibility is not at all the same.
