----
The Fulltone Fulldrive 2 (non-MOSFET) is an overdrive pedal known for its versatility and classic overdrive tones, often compared to a blend of a Tube Screamer and an SD-1. It features a three-way clipping switch (Vintage, Flat Mids, and Comp-Cut) and a boost circuit, allowing for a wide range of overdrive textures from subtle to more saturated. The non-MOSFET version is characterized by its use of the JRC4558 chip and a sound that some describe as having more low-end and a slightly "scratchier" gain than the MOSFET version.
Key Features of the Fulltone Fulldrive 2 (Non-MOSFET):
JRC4558 Chip:
Employs the legendary JRC4558 chip, known for its warm, tube-like overdrive characteristics.
Dual Overdrive Stages:
Features two switchable gain stages, allowing for both subtle and more intense overdrive sounds.
Three-Way Clipping Switch:
Offers three distinct clipping modes:
Vintage: Features asymmetrical clipping, similar to a Tube Screamer but with a bit more low-end and a unique character according to a Reddit thread.
Flat Mids: Provides a sound closer to an SD-1, with less pronounced mid-hump.
Comp-Cut: A clean boost mode that can be used to push an amp or other pedals.
Boost Circuit:
Includes a boost function that can be activated independently, adding up to 20dB of gain.
True Bypass Switching:
Utilizes Fulltone's custom-made 3DPT switch for true bypass, ensuring no signal degradation when the pedal is disengaged according to Legendary Tones.
Volume Control with Comp-Cut Function:
The volume knob is a push/pull pot that activates a compression cut when pulled, allowing for more clean headroom according to Legendary Tones.
Durable Construction:
Housed in a robust 16-gauge cold-rolled steel enclosure.
Differences from the MOSFET Version:
Clipping Characteristics:
The non-MOSFET version generally has a more "vintage" tone with more low-end and a slightly different clipping characteristic than the MOSFET version.
Overall Tone:
Some players find the non-MOSFET version to be smoother and more organic sounding, while others prefer the more aggressive and brighter tone of the MOSFET version.
The Fulltone Fulldrive 2 (non-MOSFET) is a versatile overdrive pedal appreciated for its blend of Tube Screamer and SD-1 characteristics, its flexible clipping options, and its robust construction.
