The Fulltone Fulldrive 3 is a versatile overdrive pedal with a footswitchable clean boost, offering players incredible flexibility. It features a JRC4558D chip and an "Order switch" to place the boost before or after the overdrive. The pedal boasts three clipping modes, including 90's, Wide Asym, and Comp-Cut, providing a range of tonal options. The independent JFET clean boost adds further tonal possibilities with its unique germanium diode limiter. This pedal is a smaller, more affordable version of the original FullDrive, known for its dynamic and natural sound, making it a serious contender for any pedalboard.
Guitarists praised the pedal's sound quality and versatility, especially the FM mode for its dynamic and natural tone. Many reviewers found the pedal to be a top-quality product, with a low noise floor and controlled drive tone. Some users found it ideal for solo boosts and appreciated its compact size, while others simply enjoyed its great sound and overall value.
