Fulltone Fulldrive 2 (Part 1)

[mixermantim]

Why do people always try to make a negative statement?Does anyone have anything good to say?

[pcollenYT]

Well, we never got to the BOOST mode did we ? So we know half of what that pedal can do.

[robrippen]

I wish I could find a demo of the old fultone 2 next to the mosfet fulltone 2 to hear the difference between the two. 

[gazzaboy2531977]

will this pedal improve the sound of a solid state amp (Fender 210r 100w). Use a boss bd2 at the moment .Ethier that or save up an buy a tube amp!!

[CarvinTone]

This is probably the most misunderstood pedal ever reviewed. This is not a stand alone OD distortion pedal, it is an enhancement pedal to push your tubes on clean or the highest gain. On clean it will push to the breakup point on the highest gain tube dist it adds clarity and articulation. Just using as a typical OD pedal is missing the real purpose of this pedal. Versitle in options. Use it for a really clean boost or to push a dirtier drive. I like the Vintage and MOS Fet on. Mid to 3/4 drive

@CarvinTone i do find that it does well by itself..of course, it blends very well with an overdriven tube amp or close to the 'limit' .

i do find that it's pretty dark sounding..i get a good tone out of ti with the tone over '8'.. otherwise, it's dull..

[CarvinTone]

That is what is designed to do, it makes tubes sing. I love it myself, not a real coloring OD but an enhancement. I have no trouble with the tonal range, I like really rich bass without mud and not to much brittle high end. It's probably a difference in amps or tubes. I use the VIntage and MOD FET as well, I have used it as a clean boost as well but you have to be careful with the level boost. I think if your amp is good and you have a good sound this box makes it better.

Theres a certain punchy sound some pedals have I dont like. I'm not sure what it is. It's almost like a delayed compression, like you hit the note, then he gain squashes it in an unpleasant way. Sort of a transistor-ish punchiness.

[angrygoldfish]

I'm genuinely interested in what you're saying here, but isn't Fulltone supposed to be about never compressing and letting the guitar do the talking?

[coronet67]

It's hard to tell on a Youtube video.

Lately I'm more into amp gain than pedals I think. I just cant find one I'm consistently happy with.

I need to try some of the tube pedals like Semour Duncan Twin Tube

[angrygoldfish]

You can't find a pedal you're consistently happy with, or an amps distortion you are not happy with?

Wouldn't a tube distortion pedal take away from the characteristics of the amps valves? I would prefer a transparent pedal, personally.

[coronet67]

I've got a Carvin Belair that has a good clean channel, but the lead channel is not so good.

The lead channel on my Peavey Classic 50 is good but the clean channel is not so good. Mainly live I've been using the Belair with a Boss Super Overdrive and that does prety good, It's fairly transparent.

[ilovemyfender1]

WARNING: Twin Tube is for humbuckers. Kills midrange with single coils. Check out the EHX English Muff'n. Huge in size and sound, most versatile distortion i've ever seen.

[chriswibbs]

youtube compresses video audio really badly, it could be that which you're noticing

[xpacev2]

Not so long ago i tried a Mexican fender strat through a Hughes and Kettner Edition blue 30 W, no pedals. And i managed to get a very rich blues sound with fantastic boost when i got up to the higher notes, the scream effect you know. i dont think its necessary to buy lots of worthless pedals

[bobuncle123]

It is the compression that unfortunately naturally happens when you upload to youtube. In real life, the pedal is very open sounding and not compressed, like it is here.

[Thehorny]

Isn't it the old model? Fulldrive 1?

It isn't the fulldrive 2 mosfet? is it?

[masbeni]

this is the old model fulldrive 2 (not the mosfet)

[ryanjames2007]

@masbeni

what is considered the better one older model or mosfet? I am looking at an older one on craigslist and wondering which is the better on to go with

[guns1rose]

this is nothing like a tube screamer!! tube screamer doesnt even have a boost switch

[cariboufudge]

I wish my tube screamer sounded like that

[skaterdeclan]

you've forgotten what guitar it was, and you've forgotten how you recorded it? that sounds a tad dodgy. thanks for putting this vid up, anyways.

[masbeni]

unfortunately yes

coz ive sold the guitar, and gears were in and out ever since

still remember all the guitars ive ever had tho, but the exact time i used them, totally forgot.

thanks for watching

[Bearwolfmusic]

I tried one of these at a recent gig, check it out in my videos =)

Fulltone fulldrive 2 through a fender twinreverb =)

[Bskijr]

What kind of guitar are you playing? What amp? Thanks!

[masbeni]

it's stratocaster

but i kinda forgot how did i record this haha

maybe i used vox pathfinder amp, or i used sansamp GT2 as an amp simulator, or i used software amp simulator.

maybe the third one is the right one, haha sorry!

[alfonsovai]

im thinking of buying this pedal, can you actually get a nice lead tone (violin kind of sustain)??

[masbeni]

i've sold it, so i cannot try it again, sorry

[alfonsovai]

Thank you bro

[MizZoo]

What guitar did you use?

[masbeni]

stratocaster, maybe, i forgot...

[etabone1]

[hafstrat]
