Fulltone Full-Drive 2 Mosfet Edition
By Tested by Art Thompson | Guitar Player Magazine October 2006

The Full-Drive 2 is an extremely versatile unit that features Overdrive and Boost channels, which can be tweaked to create everything from sparkling clean tones to heavily overdriven sounds. The mini toggle on the left accesses three sub modes for the Overdrive channel: Comp-Cut (bypasses all signal-clipping circuitry for clean boosting), and the more distorted FM (flat mids) and Vintage (asymmetrical clipping) settings. Activating the Boost footswitch puts the Full-Drive 2 into high-gain configuration for sustaining lead tones, and you can further voice the distortion for more low-end emphasis and midrange growl in any mode (except Comp-Cut) by engaging the Mosfet circuitry via the right-hand mini toggle. The range of distortion this pedal offers is breathtaking, and if you’ve been searching for something that can enhance your clean guitar sound as well, here it is. The Full-Drive 2 is easily one of the most sophisticated distortion/overdrive units available.
