Sound: Just good distortion and OD in one solid pedal. The distortion is esentially modern but I mean that in a good way. A litte fuzzy but its a good fuzz. Not harsh at all. The overdrive is to die for. The best of vintage and modern OD sounds rolled into one. Responds extreemly well to the touch of your guitar, tone and volume controls. Very expressive pedal. Feature: This is really why I bought the thing. Not becuase I want to stand on stage, stoop down and tweak it all the time but because I can tweak it to my sound with great ease then set it and forget it. Every single nob and switch on this thing does what it supposed to. The center freq and Q choice on the tone control is perfection. Ease of Use: I mean this is a fairle complex pedal but yet hard to screw up because there are very few places that you can turn a knob that does something ugly. Quality: Nice box, nice build, nice paint. Top quality switches and pots. Value: Are you kidding. Boutique level quality for way less than $200? Very few pedals are in this class and American made at that Manufacturer Support: Have not delt with so I think it is only fair to give it a 10 so as not to bring down the overall rating. The Wow Factor: Hell Yes! Overall: Just buy it! Do yourself a favor and stop trying to get that tone with $40 - $70 pedals. Not gonna happen. But this thing will get you were you want to go for not too much dough

Sound: This pedal sounds great, just like so many people say. You can't go wrong with any of the Fulltone overdrives. The ocd is really good, the plimsoul is too, but this one does more, it is like 2 pedals in 1. Great harmonics and cleans up nice when you back down the vol on yer guitar. Feature: You can run them together, put od before dist. or dist. before od. All the knobs do something. Top quality components. Built like a tank. Ease of Use: Sounded good the first day, a week later I really can get so many great sounds by setting it different. Quality: They have earned a good reputation with their quality. This seems to be top quality to me. Value: This is both a great short term and long term investment. I thought about a Nova System multi effects from TC, but realized in a few years, I will be glad I spent a little extra on quality pedals that will last longer and hold their value better. Manufacturer Support: never needed support yet Overall: Love this pedal! 90% of people who don't like this pedal probably can't play very well or don't know how to properly use a quality overdrive/distortion pedal.

Sound: The booster side of this pedal is similar to the Fulldrive II with more gain and better tone control. The distortion side is way over the top. High gain and so loud. It's awesome. It sounds so good it makes you want to play loud. I am running it at 18 volts and the difference in clarity in like night and day. It seems good for a nice subtle clip or an insane gain monster. Running them together makes this one of the most dynamic and useful pedals I have ever owned. This thing should be twice the money. Feature: This is the kitchen sink pedal. It has everything you could ask for in an overdrive / distortion pedal. Ease of Use: The mid-range control on the overdrive side takes a little getting use to other than that it is pretty straight forward. Quality: This thing is a work of art. I believe it could take a bullet and keep working. Value: I have paid more for a lot less. I would expect to pay this much for a single function distortion pedal and with this you get the bonus of a very good overdrive. It is killer. Manufacturer Support: I have never needed them before but even the website has a ton of information to help you out. The Wow Factor: From the sexy knobs and killer paint job it is an eye catching effect. The unique shape will gather all of the other pedal snobs to your board in droves. Overall: It is a very desirable pedal with a high quality build and exceptional tone. Flexible and a very small foot print so it will fit on most pedalboards with ease. This pedal should be $300.
