[fasionroadkill]

guess what santas bringing me this saturday ^.^ thats right. cant wait!

[ThebSharpsBAND]

i want yer job

[ConYayPuffDaddy]

Anyone know what the song at the very beginning of the video is??

[cheesedude5050]

You just freaking sold this to me

[PengkritikSound]

this pedal 9volt? same boss pedal adaptor?

[reginalaslo]

I have one.Great pedal!

[rOnmanStrat]

OCD or FD2?

[JBaileyism]

@rOnmanStrat I had this dilema yesterday...a used ocd and a used fd2....the fd2 won in my book personally. the ocd is a great pedal no doubt but imo there's more versatility in this one.

[The60LP]

I love the gear reviews you guys do. It's so helpful when looking to buy gear, keep up the good work!!!

[tralfamadorian42]

this pedal + use tele + hot rod deluxe = so much bliss. so . much. bliss.

[themodularmodular]

I'm on this pedal with my fender jaguar to the vox ac15, and I'm in a total love without paying a boutique price tag

[TomPark1986]

I have this pedal. It sounds amazing through a Fender Bassman, which is the amp I tried it out on in the store. Nice shimmering highs, and tight bottom end....I buy the pedal, bring it home and realize how shit my amp is. That's where 99 percent of your sound comes from.....I play it through a Randall G3...and it sounds NOTHING like it did in the store...particularly because of the amp differences. It still sounds good nonetheless.

[sixstrinngmunky]

I have the oldschool Full-Drive 2 and for some reason, no matter what guitar, or what amp I'm using, you cant crank the drive cause it bleeds too much of the dry signal through. Can anybody tell me why?

[RyLay]

I just got one of these yesterday and it is so killer. It isn't an extremely hot overdrive, even though it does have plenty of gain, but instead it keeps your guitar's tone totally pure while being very tweak-able. The boost feature can be used as a solo boost or with your volume knob or a volume pedal to give you a totally different kind of OD.

[FOOFTR]

@RyLay Thanks for that little bit of clarity - oft missed. So the boost can be used independently to the drive? I.e. with the o/drive off the boost still works to push your amp in a clean and linear fashion? Thanks

[MadmanAcrossTheWater]

will clicking the ON/OFF switch turn off both the boost and overdrive at the same time? that'd be my selling point.

[akhsavar]

How do you rec your signal ? from cab to your camera mic? or..?

[dtongay]

Bought one of these 2 years ago. Drives the absolute crap outta my Blues Junior. Running an ash Tele with Duncan 1/4 pounders. For that extra special sauce I added a Weber Attenuator. The combo produces some of the sweetest sounds this side of Chicago. BTW, I ditched the Fender speaker that came with the Junior and swapped it for a Celestion S30. Maximum thump with some serious twang. Thanks, guys!

[sabbath994]

can it do john mayer tones?

[Brennansdad]

Great video. I think the fulldrive Is an OCD circuit with added boost feature. I have both and they are great for low to mid gain drive

[boogiehead100]

sooooooooooooooooo rude adoptme ...............

[selongs10]

fulltone OCD or this one. which is better?

[Fbregy]

They always tell you what they are playing through.

[SaberBE]

you didn't happen to do a review on the fulltone ultimate octave?

[aleksandersucharski]

you can't go wrong with Fulltone. was there any product made by them that failed? it's just amazing, every single tone he sets rocks. the same with OCD. and their Wah pedal. and so on. ..

[MCEnchilada]

1:27 it sounds so mean!!! love it



[micomf]

What's better? OCD or Fulldrive 2?

[orkuncolakk]

Since PGS does not ship fulltones to outside of the US, what do you recommend for me? I have a stratocaster. Thanks.

[Ilovemyfender2]

@orkuncolakk Look at a Homebrew Electronics Paradrive.

[rbutt88]

@orkuncolakk depends where you are. If you're in the UK check out hotoxuk they have a great selection of pedals along with the fulldrive 2 mosfet

[ichi612]

hi can u demo the toadworks texas flood thanks

[clintmiller23]

can someone explain exactly what the boost feature does? is there a pedal that offers only this feature to use with other pedals (tubescreamber or bd-2)

[guitarryan826]

What other effects (comp, eq, etc) are you using if any and how is your amp set? Just trying to get an idea of how you set it up cus it sounds great!

[ryanintopeka]

Finally, a pedal demo with someone who can actually PLAY the guitar. Very nice.

[PF1964]

is it true bypass?

[pzqlak]

@PF1964 why don't you watch the video and find out.

[MrBern20]

you can use onley the boost?

[tybanez555]

This is my favorite overdrive of all time! I run my original 1960 Fender Tele through it into a Vox AC30C2X. Sounds like heaven!! :D

[tomiclav]

is the boost section of the pedal independet?

[ragingstorm33]

they must use a so ho lol

[aquarian444]

can you guys please give me your opinions on comparing the fulldrive mosfet, to the roger mayer spitfire?

[butterscotchtele]

Doesn't matter which you get, you'll want the other...

[gamergeek3000]

@butterscotchtele best reply I have ever read.

[MrUnseenBucket]

for blues/rock whats best, full drive 2 or a OCD?

[wlt2196]

@MrUnseenBucket if u have the money get both... the ocd is mor of a dirtier overdriven marshall jcm800 and the fulldrive 2 is mor of a transparent overdriven fender deluxe reverb sound

[Martinijos]

Hi

I'm hesting between this pedal and the Vox Ice 9. I'm playing with Strat trough a Fender Blues Deluxe. Can someone give some advice?

[kiloch]

@Martinijos but both, send me the one you dont prefer

[kowy88]

Hi, tell me, I have active pick-ups, in bridge EMG89, SV in mid, and SLV in neck position. I was wondering, you played this with passive pick-ups, yes? If yes, tell me, did you try it on active as well, I need to know how it would sound. I also have VOX AD50VT amp.

Thank you :) you are still my favorite net shop :D

[DaleWest6661]

is this pedal worth it? Im looking for a good od/distortion pedal for hard rock like guns n roses and led zep?

[schmalolz]

@DaleWest6661 Well I would look at something like the OCD or the GT-500. Just my opinion this is more boosty, but it depends on your rig too

[peaboy2009]

hey andy when you gonna have a video on the super lead by lovepedal?

[DjNorbax]

Could you tell me the difference between this and the Fulltone OCD apart from the boost feature? Thanks =)

[serve4life]

@DjNorbax the ocd is more of an overdrive/distortion pedal and has a more aggresive tone but the fd2 is more versatile

[Brennansdad]

Excellent work. Good job clearly explaining the signal path and the clean sound demo prior to rocking the thing out. Especially like the time you spent on the broad range of sounds, rather than just putting it all on 10.

[MultiScoffer]

Thanks, Andy for this video. I have a KeeleyTS9 Mod Plus. Will this pedal match well with the Keeley or am I just fine with the Keeley TS9 alone? I was thinking of pairing the Keeley TS808 or the Maxon OD08 with my TS9. Any suggestions?

[Nel9266]

Can you demonstrate some lead playing.

[mandobanjoguitar]

great sounding pedal.

[giampaolocavalieri]

Niente a che vedere con i vecchi!!!

[baylissd]

Medication time!

[ADOPTmeBITCH]

when doing a review ALWAYS state what u use in yr signal path LIKE WHAT FUCKING AMP

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@ADOPTmeBITCH I hope you're not yelling at us because it is stated in the video.

[skurtix]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Don't you youngsters tell us what is in the video! When we were young tubes were what the water came through, not this hipster electricity barnacle!

[IrvingCNC]

@ProGuitarShopDemos what can you expect from someone who has "ADOPTmeBITCH" as user name... hahaha

[digitrixster]

@IrvingCNC Now we know why his parents gave him up. :)

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@ADOPTmeBITCH - Rewind your internet to 1:07 in the video and listen carefully..."I'm playing on a G&L Legacy into a 65Amps Soho". Thanks for the advice : )

-PGS

[ADOPTmeBITCH]

@ProGuitarShopDemos my bad

[Maggie5456933]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Thank You.

Don't which is more entertaining - the clips or the comments!

[sebuzero]

@ProGuitarShopDemos no worries, single coils anyway

[insightdelight]

@ProGuitarShopDemos I love that no one pays attention! You guys ALWAYS tell us what you're using in every demo. Andy and PGS, you cats rule. I wish people would learn to read instead of just lashing out due to their inadequacies.

I've spent days watching your demos. I bought the beautiful GNI Multi-Fuzz/Vintage Distortion based on your demo for it. Keep up the good work. All Love, Always!

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@insightdelight - Thank you! We appreciate your love and support.

- PGS Crew

[davidriggs1955]

@ProGuitarShopDemos well handled with the irate comment. I probably wouldn't have done as well.

[mike31jmb]

@ADOPTmeBITCH were you high when you watched it the first time?

[Fender074]

@ADOPTmeBITCH Listen more you fucking retard, thanks for the demo helped alot

[rmejiaborja]

@ADOPTmeBITCH Dude...Andy ALWAYS says WTF he is playing into, first pay attention to the videos. Don't try to correct the master of reviews and show respect to the ones who upload videos on youtube, everyone makes mistakes but as you can see PGS videos are flawless...I dare you to make a better review...I rest my case.

[CCmidwest]

@ADOPTmeBITCH man show some class will ya..I subscribe to PGS because of the highend quality of there reviews..It is obvious you are a newbie other wise you would know it is always a G&l Legacy into a 65 amp SOHO ..Pro guitar shop thanks for your demos they have been invaluable in help me make decisions on my pedal acquisitions.

[djtrouserfunk]

@ADOPTmeBITCH Ur a dickhead

[girotube]

@ADOPTmeBITCH The user name says it all..... brain fart..

[QuamCelerrime]

@ADOPTmeBITCH I don't think anyone would want to adopt you with that sassy mouth of yours.

[Martinijos]

I am considering bying a new overdrive pedal and it stands between this one and the new Vox Ice 9, how would you compare the two?

[Davyx93]

Can I use the boost only, too? Or can i just boos the pedal

[jbmannon]

I found that if you replace the 4.7k gain resistor with a 10k resistor, It makes all three toggle position more useable. It is like you have three different amps:

clean comp cut boost

clean flat mid boost

clean vintage boost

To me the pedal was to much, what i mean is it is kind of brittle and harsh where the boost sounded horrible.

Now the pedal you can play amp clean , overdrive mild and boost to max overdrive and it actually sounds amazing.

I now choose it over the ocd pedal

[gekaraki]

Hello, great demo! I just want to know if the boost can be used by itself.

[IrishGuitarist70]

this pedal is just pure beast. i love the vintage feature. deff going to be my first pedal.

[philotze]

I'm getting this and i can't wait!

[philotze]

I got it and its AWESOME!!!

[djmixer7]

Nothing. MOSFET is the technology that was used to devolop this pedal. they are exactly the same.

[TrebleFiend]

6:22 - 6:52 = pure sex

[marvelboy04]

i love this pedal, but i hate the boost! it doesnt do enough. i cant wait for my tim, so i can have a discernible boost

[MidasHert3]

Its great for the money but there is better stuff out there. The Pedal really likes Les Pauls and Other guitars with humbuckers in them.

I think the Keeley TS808mod and the wampler pedals blow this thing out of the water

[urheadonastick]

I'm in the market for another fuzz what do you think of the Keeley fuzzhead?

[mlweidl]

@urheadonastick wrong place to be asking what kind of fuzz pedal you want

[spiderdustinman]

@MidasHert3 I think it really liked that strat alot actually, but I agree about TS808

[p1ayn]

Used full drive last night for time live with a fulltone OCD and other Full tones pedals.... AMAZING! Had a line 6 floor podplus and the full tones blow it out of the water. Have a strat with a fender reissue hot rod deville 4x10.

[getvicky13]

is the boost feature on this pedal independent? or does it HAVE to be used along with the drive engaged?

[mikeoxlong11]

it has to be engaged for the boost to work.... diamond j-drive has an independent boost switch on it... both pedals sound great

[dasparks2004]

Second "channel" is only an extra gain stage. It must be used with the left side engaged first.

If you're looking for two independent overdrives in one you should check out the T-Rex Moller or the Double Hot Cake by Crowther Audio. Both killer pedals but quite a bit more than the FD.

[p1ayn]

Would you use an OCD AND the full drive 2 either together or separate? Whats the difference and some examples, if you can? Thanks

[hotfudgemoney]

Yes this would be great with an OCD.

I have a Keeley fuzz head, which is like an OD/Fuzz... I use it with my friends Bass Drive and it's an amazzzingg combo. I'm thinking of getting one of these or a bassdrive.

[Hugoow16]

Jazzmaster + Deville 2x12 + this pedal would be great or not?

[OddIvar95]

I think its a good choice. I am going to buy a custom built stratocaster thing, fender frontman 212r and this pedal.

[yoghurtfeen]

Oh yes it will!

[frenzexperiment]

no...it would be a reason to live ahah

[OddIvar95]

What amplifier are you plaing on here?

[Hugoow16]

@OddIvar95 what do you think? i'ts pro guitar shop...

[AlexinCrick]

65amps - Soho

[pieman419]

thoughts between one of these and a Keeley modded Ibanez TS9DX?

[johnh5304]

I'm in the same boat. Should I get my TS9 modded with the Keeley mod plus or just get this? I'm not really satisfied with my TS9 at all but maybe the mod would change my mind. The Full-Drive 2 seems way more versatile though.

[telemaestro268]

This.

[no1000]

I'm selling a fulltone full-drive 2 mosfet for $130 shipped to the lower 48 USA message me

[guitarman430]

do you still have it?

[HalfBillion]

does anyone know (who owns this) if it blankets your amp with a slightly different tone than how your clean channel responds? ex. will my vibro king still sound as touch sensitive with this pedal on?

[sega62s]

I think it does, I own it, and i'm using it trough my Deluve reverb reissue and find it to be not as transparent as I would like.

I got a better clean trought my ''brownie'' CMATMODS wich is amazing, really.

But i'm thinking about the MJM overdrive....migh be just what I want.

I'm using a Les Paul traditional, a Fender and a G&L.

What guitars are U using?

[Gino2891]

Can be the bost ON without the overdrive channel ON too ?

[peterg8681]

No, you need to have the OD on first. But this is the best overdrive pedal I've played. I would really hate to be without it now.

Pete

[popomczowzow]

What's the difference between the fulldrive 2 and the fulldrive 2 mosfet?

[stewie9793]

yeah theyre independent circuits.

[EdMardell]

The boost only works with the drive on, they aren't independent.

[punkclash05]

I just got one of these last night! It's incredible!

[samhealy93]

I damn hate those patronising fingers.

[Zevonfan524]

Im looking to get a pedal that can give me a sound like pre-American Idiot Green Day. Don't get me wrong, I love AI & I don't care who knows it or what they think, I just like his tone alot more on the previous albums. Anyone have any suggestions?

[BrownGuitar11]

i just got this pedal and OMG! Its amazing

[sebahQMT]

I have a fender deluxe 2008 model with the SCN pickups. I dont really like the sound of them. Do you think this pedal will help improve the tone or should i exchange the pickups aswell?

[crazyfreak1919]

switch pickups first. i've heard good things about dimarzios area 61 and 58 models.

[screamingsymphony]

got the same guitar and I have the FD2 mosfet. I changed my pickups for some suhr v60's... killer... it sounded nice with the SCN but I wasn't a strat....

[BijhanS]

TS808 or Fulltone Fulldrive 2?

[Ilovemyfender2]

this

[OneTimer1127]

The Fulltone has more you can adjust for different tones. However, if you were going to buy a TS808 and have it modded, then it becomes even better. I would say that if you don't want to mess with mods, get this.

[aaaah909]

id say fulldrive. more versatile

[peterg8681]

Definately get this. TS808 not true bypass unless you get a Keely one. Also I find the two step system very useful and it's great to have the othe option like comp cut, flat mids etc. Get one now!!!

[ArtVandaleit]

what would fit my needs better, this or the OCD? i play on a Traynor YCV50 with a strat (neck pickup) i use the Traynor's OD channel all the time to have a nice light overdrive sound and then i step on my boss OD/Dist pedal to add more gain, the boss doesnt get the job done at all.

[ArtVandaleit]

[BrownGuitar11]

This With A . Fender Deluxe hot rod. .......i bet it sounds amazing

[ilovemyfender1]

Probably better with a NOS blues junior, now THAT would be BLUESY.

[WhiteMenJumping5]

I'm really debating if I should get this or a tube screamer,

Anyone have any advice?

[OneTimer1127]

Completely different. A Tubescreamer is a light overdrive with some of the best blues tone I have yet to hear. The Fulldrive is more of a distortion pedal.

[tommart123]

Wrong. This is not a distortion pedal...it's overdrive, just like a tubescreamer. The clue is in the name ffs!

[amarr1]

it IS a tubescreamer.

[slipperyrob]

I had a Maxon OD808, which is pretty much closer to a "true vintage" Ibanez Ts808 due to circuitry, but i returned it to get the Fulltone FD2 Mos after hearing someone play through one. You can get GREAT blues tones out of this pedal, it is also super responsive to the volume knob on your guitar, so cleaning up your tone a bit with just a touch of OD is very easy. I recommend this hands down! then after awhile go get an 808, but this offers soo much more

[waitin4winter]

I would definitely go with the FD2. i've got one and i love it. it has an excellent reputation. and it's more versatile than a tube screamer.

[ilovemyfender1]

I say this, a keeley ts9, or a keeley bd-2.

[Mrblues23]

I don't have this, but I do have the TS-9, and I can't stop using it... this sounds great too, though... so if this is cheaper, then maybe this is better?

[xdivinebladex]

anyone know what amp hes plugged into?

[kebekoi66]

65 Soho (He said it)

[oiseauxdughetto]

65 amp - Soho

[oneg0daboveall]

lol he plays with my guitar... always helps.

[kjh6926]

sold!!!!

[promenadebcn]

Great pedal! but how I can jump it to get a more distorted sound? any booster or other od like boss SD1? tell me please!!!!

[Ombrenuit]

ugh...I hate the boss SD1. Takes away all your bass!

[Ombrenuit]

Yeah I completely agree. I regret buying one.

[tommart123]

same! anyone want to buy a second hand SD1? haha

I think i'm going to get this, i like the raw drive it gives, sounds less synthetic that a lot of other pedals.

[grumpymike]

gt-500

[Br3yd3n]

Does this pedal have a power jack on it? I hate running my pedals on batteries and I would hate to buy this thing to find I can't power it through an outlet xD

[Arttuonline]

Yes it does. Don't you see that power cable behind the pedal between the input and output cables? ;)

[jordanmuse06]

After watching this demo, I had my mind set on a fulldrive!

Therefore I went to the guitar shop to purchase it. I tried a Fulldrive mosfet and an OCD through a bogner amp and the OCD kicked its ass!

I was really disappointed with the fulldrive because it had a lot of mid range, which I like but it just didn't sound like nice mid range.

If you are considering buying this pedal, please consider the fulltone ocd because it gives of a lot more twang and just sounds miles better thanks!

[bopplayer]

You liked the OCD better? which version do you know?

[worshipgtr]

I just got one of these and really like it. At first, I did not notice as much of a boost with the boost side. However, I then realized that if the OD is past 2pm, you don't notice as much of a boost with the boost engaged (especially in the vintage mode). The last part of the video shows two distinct sounds when rolling of the OD to about 9 and putting the boost at about 1 or 2. Anyone else agree with me on the boost mode?

[filerocktheworld]

I got a blues driver from boss for the tone boost in blues. Would this be worth for the gain boost?

[GuitarJC13]

The blues driver is nothing compared to the Fulldrive 2

[triggersfordreams]

I sold my Boss BD-2 for a FullDrive 2, honestly I regret this !! The Bd-2 (even un-modified) is a great pedal.

Just compare them next to each other and you'll see what i mean.

[amateurlife]

hm. that's interesting to hear. I mean i believe you... it's just funny cause this pedal is talked up so much.

[DovoodooMiracleman]

BD-2 without a mod is great on its own, check out my channel stacked with the fulldrive-2. I'd love to get an OCD though...

[guns1rose]

Ive got my OCD and really want one of these!!! Does this one clean up with your guitar volume?

[mattpowers2]

I think it cleans up okay - not as good as my barber ODs but better than most others. The real difference between this and other tube screamer type ODs is this has more compression (so the volume control has less of an effect).

[yoyoyo17941113]

Does anyone know how well this pedal responds to the volume control on your guitar?

[GuitarJC13]

Watch part one where he uses his Gibson. At one point he turns guitar volume down and it cleans up quite nicely.

[tsubasa1988]

i need one of this!!!!!!

[waffen2]

albert king never used a pedel

[Laroosco]

Albert King was able to crank 100 watt amps without club owners bitching at thim too.

[Mojomanmadness1971]

Club owners only bitch about volume when the band sucks...

[fzzbbl961]

This or the zvex box of rock??? please help!!!!

[merunfar89]

box of rock is more distortion. this is more overdrive.

[boredmanaic]

whats the sustain like on this thing?

[merunfar89]

amazing man! i love it!

[OhYeah729]

idk what to get im getting a Marshall 1959slp and just got a fender '62 strat relic with cs 69 pup, i want a good OD for like Hendrix SRV and clapton tones with that bright bite so should i get this or a ocd, any other option any one?

[weirdotis]

Fuzzface.

[ilovemyfender1]

I would check out a fuzzface, an mxr fuzz (which is about the same thing but smaller and more versatile), or any of the MGM london fuzz series.
