Fulltone Fulldrive 2 MOSFET

Fulltone Fulldrive 2 MOSFETChosen by Guitar Player Magazine as one of the all-time top 50 effects ever!Winner! 2007 Guitar Player Magazine's "Reader's Choice Poll "BEST STOMPBOX."Fulltone was the first company to offer a foot switchable Boost in an overdrive pedal. When first introduced the Fulltone Fulldrive 2 was a ground breaking pedal. Now featuring a Mosfet transistor, Fulltone has continued to develop and improve the Fulldrive 2. They also manufacture their own 3PDT Super-Duty switch allowing true bypass when disengaged.Vintage vs FMThe FD2 features a "Vintage" mode for a mid heavy hump as found in the mid 90's Fulldrive 2, or an "FM" or flat mids that will offer a more natural sound. This mode was actually enhanced to produce an even more transparent overdrive.Cut the CompressionYou can also cut the compression of the Fulldrive 2 Mosfet using the "CompCut" feature. This switch has been relocated from the volume pot to a 3 way mini toggle.Beauty and the BeastThe Fulltone FD2 is housed in a bulletproof and beautiful powder coated blue enclosure. Channel one is the overdrive mode and is capable of a non compressed clean boost or a light to medium overdrive. All of this while still maintaining the integrity of your guitars' original tone. The tone knob is an incredibly effective presence control that will smooth out or add some upper harmonics to your signal. The footswitchable second channel, or "Boost" mode features its own distortion control and is capable of medium to higher gain setting with a singing violin like sustain.This pedal gets its natural sound through the use of Asymmetrical Clipping and "Feedback Loop" circuit... a way of creating distortion high in even ordered harmonics like a Class A tube amp! True Bypass w/ LED is standard equipment.New for the Full-Drive 2 MOSFET:A choice of either MOSFET or Normal clipping modesNormal mode is now even more open, you will not get that blanket over your amp sound.The LED's have been moved, Fulltones' exclusive "No pop no thump" True Bypass.
