Description
Overdrive your guitar with a modern classic. The limited-edition Fulltone 20th Anniversary CS FD3 celebrates the original Fulldrive overdrive pedal that put Fulltone on the map as a premier boutique pedal maker. Driven by a genuine NOS JRC4558D chip, the Fulldrive 3 serves up juicy crunch with all the trimmings. Fulltone's exclusive Order switch places the Boost either before or after the Overdrive section, giving you tons of tone-shaping control. Two different voicings let you choose between thick, colorful vintage dirt or contemporary chimey transparency.
Two voicings give you control over your sonic universe
With its new old stock JRC4558D chip and the very best of the original circuitry, Fulltone's 20th Anniversary CS FD3 nails the sound of the classic 1990s FD2 Fulldrive - and it's awesome overdrive, take it from us. But technology marches on, so in addition to the original '90s FD2 voicing, you also get the choice of a second "Wide Asymmetrical" voicing that delivers a sleek, contemporary overdrive sound that's delightfully transparent and open-sounding. This amazing versatility makes the CS FD3 a valuable component of your guitar rig.
JFET Clean Boost - your secret weapon for stage and studio domination
Fulltone gave the 20th Anniversary CS FD3 an independent, discrete JFET Clean Boost with its own volume control. Why put a clean boost on an overdrive pedal? Well, we think this is a brilliant move. Long a cherished secret weapon of tone-savvy pro guitarists, clean boost lets you always be at the right volume, and it also lets you hit the front end of your tube amp just so. Put that in the same pedal with a killer overdrive circuit, and you've the versatility for stage and studio domination.
Germanium-diode "Limiting" function eliminates nasty spikes
You'll notice a little black knob on the 20th Anniversary CS FD3 - it's labelled "Dynamics." As you spin it clockwise, you're dialing in a germanium-diode "Limiting" circuit that dials out the irritating, grating spikes many clean boosts produce when you dig into your strings. Believe us - the results sound completely gorgeous. It's all in keeping with the care and design savvy that goes into every Fulltone pedal. If you're in the market for a guitar overdrive pedal, we think the 20th Anniversary CS FD3 should be at the top of your list.
