Description

Overdrives are often the first pedal that a player buys, and the last one to go if a player is going minimalist with effects. They are as close as it gets to an essential pedal (aside from tuners). As a result, the market is bursting with more overdrives than you can count, each one promising to somehow be unique and special. Through all the overdrive frenzy, the Fulltone Full Drive 2 has stood like a rock of strength, rising above the fray to provide a durable, versatile single-box solution that sounds fantastic.In the beginning there was the Ibanez Tube Screamer. Both the TS-808 and the TS-9 etched themselves into guitar history in the '80s and '90s, creating a wave of demand for that Tube Screamer sound. Part of the reason the Fulltone Full Drive 2 became so popular is that it offers the ability to replicate classic screamer tone with the additional options of removing compression, shaping the mids and adding a second stage of boost (and in the case of the MOSFET, choosing clipping type). The versatile play on a classic formula, along with its reliability and sound, cemented the Full Drive 2 as a modern classic.What exactly can it do?As a dual channel overdrive, it is surprisingly simple. Channel one offers a low to mid-gain overdrive on that is less-compressed and more transparent than most screamer-type overdrives. On the other channel, you have a "Boost" mode, adding a second gain stage for soloing and sustain, which adds more a screamerish mid-boost and slight compression. Volume and Tone knobs apply to both channels, while Overdrive applies to channel one and Boost controls channel two. It is true bypass and features bullet-proof hand-built components, so you get clean operation every time.What does MOSFET mean and how does it differ from the standard Full Drive 2?Released in 2007, the Fulltone Full Drive 2 MOSFET is not just an updated casing. This version of the pedal features two additional toggle switches for five different modes, vastly increasing the unit's versatility. The MOSFET toggle switches between asymmetrical clipping for a more open, harmonic sound and tighter, more aggressive clipping sent through a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET).The other toggle switches between a Vintage mode for low to mid-gain dirt (sounds great on a Strat neck pickup), FM mode for slightly less gain and a different EQ shape and Comp Cut mode, which turns the Full Drive 2 into an entirely different beast, boosting the volume, articulation and brightness considerably.
