FULLTONE FD1 FULL-DRIVE 

The Fulltone Full-Drive2 has always been a Tube-Screamer killer, plain and simple. The original Full-Drive2 shined with the addition of its vicious Comp-Cut (CC) mode which pummels the input of even the most stubborn tube amp. Add to that Flat-Mids (FM) mode for another choice offering slightly more open, natural sound. The only drawback to the Full-Drive2 is the size and the fact that many people just don’t use the “Boost” channel that much, so for 20 years people have been screaming at me for a small, single channel version that sounds like the early 90s Full-Drive2s. Well, it’s here...better late than never, I always say.

Enter the Full-Drive1 (FD1) with its JRC4558 opamp, full-size audiophile grade capacitors, internal battery cradle, 9-18VDC operation, tiny bullet proof steel enclosure, top-mounted jacks, True-Bypass, a warmer early-90s Comp-Cut mode than any FD2, and an even more natural sounding Flat-Mids mode. Vintage (V) mode has gorgeous, cut-though-the-mix, MIDRANGE but with more harmonic content and a ton of sustain

SPECIFICATIONS:

Controls:

- ON/OFF : Triple-Pole-Double-Throw (3PDT) footswitch: we use the best parts available anywhere, including the best switch in the world, the Fulltone designed & manufactured 3PDT. This pedal has True-Bypass switching so that your sound is not degraded whether the pedal is turned on or off!

- VOLUME Knob : determines the level of the pedal when it’s turned ON only.

- TONE knob : This is an active treble Boost or Cut circuit. You’ll find that the 12 to 1 o’clock position to be pretty neutral, turn it CCW (counter clockwise) to 10 o’clock or so for smoother high-gain lead sounds (with Drive knob higher than 12 o’clock) or turn it clockwise for more cut, and a less compressed feel.

- OVERDRIVE knob : Turn this Clockwise (CW) for more distortion, keep below 10 0‘clock (with higher Volume knob settings) for cleaner sounds and for boosting your amp’s input without adding much distortion.

CLIPPING switch:

- CC : Comp-Cut mode

- V : Vintage mode: Normal diode clipping with strong midrange presentation.

- FM : Flat-Mids mode: uses a proprietary feedback circuit that returns signal to the clipping section cancelling out some of the midrange content, creating a very open, natural sounding overdrive.

Input Impedance : 370K ohms

Output Impedance : 10k ohms

Current draw : approximately 8 mA

Power : You may run this pedal on the 9 volt battery or on any voltage between 9 and 18 Volts DC as long as the adapter is (standard) 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel plug with “Negative to Center Pin” configuration.
