Robin Trower is known for TONE. While working with Robin during his latest Tour, I developed an Overdrive truly worthy of the Trower namesake.

Touch responsive, huge sounding, sustain for days... and crystal clear when the guitar's volume knob is reduced for great live dynamics. Being that Robin uses Fenders as well as Marshalls, it had to work well with both types...it does. And Robin hits so hard that the front end of the pedal had to be tuned for those .012-.048 tuned-down strings...the RTO holds tight and smooth for Strat and Les Paul players alike.

Robin's quite happy with the way it turned out, and I think you will be too.

AMPS....if you've ever owned a GREAT amp, like a Marshall 18 watt, a VOX AC15, a Marshall JTM45 and if you have a place where you can crank them up loud, then you know what I'm talking about...

Smack a power chord and you (not only) hear the fundamental notes...but you get (count 'em) 4, 5, even 6 additional overtones ringing into a feedback... notes that you can whistle if your ear is good enough! Think; Zep's "Ocean," "Custard Pie," Classic tones including James Gang, the Beatles, AC/DC, FREE., etc.

Back off the guitar's volume and there are a dozen great other sounds at your fingertips... Clean, spanky sounds, with all the highs and lows still intact. And a Tele still sounds like a Tele, a Les Paul like a Les Paul.
PEDALS (until now) just can't hold a candle to what a good amp can do if you are really picky. You not only lose all the touch sensitivity, but forget about those complex Harmonics. (For me) It's always been somewhat of a compromise using Overdrive pedals... until now. Ladies and Gentleman, I am proud to introduce the Fulltone OCD. I made this pedal for me, but I think you might like it too ;)
I could go on with my goofy Hype-blabber, but instead I ask that you come back and check in for some Hi-fi sound sample/MP3's.... should be up within the week. You'll hear what I'm talking about.

Version 4 now in stock.

2007!......The Fulldrive 2 becomes the FD2-MOSFET ...and the retail price is $179. In stores now! I know you're seeing a lot of Rave reviews about the new FD2-MOS and some are thinking "I had a FD or a FD2 10th Ann..No thanks!" Sorry, you owe it to yourself to put down that (insert flavor of the month) for an hour and take the new FD2 for a little testdrive....let's just say the blanket has been lifted in both "Normal" and "Mosfet" modes.

Just in 5/07 Winner! Guitar Player Magazine's Reader's Choice Poll "BEST STOMPBOX of 2006" click on icon below

chosen by Guitar Player Magazine as one of the all-time top 50 effects ever! We are the first to offer a switchable "Boost" Channel in an overdrive and manufacture our own Super-Duty 3PDT footswitch allowing True-Bypass plus LED.

Housed in a beautiful powder coated Blue 16ga.steel enclosure, the first channel is the "Overdrive Mode" capable of Clean Boost or non-compressed overdrive or choose light to medium softer Overdrives all while retaining your guitar's original tone. The Tone knob is a very effective Presence control that can smooth out or add upper harmonics.. There's also a footswitchable second channel "Boost Mode" with its own separate Distortion control for medium to higher gains with a more singing violin-like sustain!

The old Gray FatBoost is out to pasture. This is a total ground-up re-design.

• Class-A , 100% JFET powered, no op amps!
• the most headroom (before clipping) of any pedal you've tried.
• pre-clipping Bass Control (keeps things from getting flabby when using neck pickup.
• perfect Treble control, allows lots of sparkle, yet can brown up nicely.
• one of the byproducts of this well-designed multi-stage FET device is that it is probably the best compressor you'll ever feel, You Nashville Tele and strat players are going to LOVE what this feels like and what it does to the Recording Levels.
• offers a little bit of Tweed-style crunch tone with Drive control turned up, but excels as clean Booster.
• a better output section (non-inverting, and extremely Low-Z output to drive other pedals and long cables)
• our proprietary '"you can't kill it with any power supply, it'll run off anything!" power section.
• True Bypass, Super Bright LED, and our exclusive anti-pop switching circuitry.

Clyde McCoy was a big-band Trumpet Player in the '60s... not a great musician, but one famous for getting a muted "wah wah" sound. This led to Vox trying to approximate this muted trumpet sound in a pedal... hence the Vox "Clyde McCoy" wah wah circa 1967.

Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton used a Vox "Clyde McCoy" model wah wah. Photos taken during the recording of "Electric Ladyland" document Jimi's as being the "signature" model, featuring Clyde McCoy's name written out script style on the bottomplate. The other type of Clyde McCoy was the "picture" version, which had Clyde's photo on the bottomplate. The "signature" model, with it's great sounding "halo" inductor, is what the Fulltone CLYDE is modelled after.

The Fulltone"CLYDE" was born from taking the best of the best of my more than 25 pc. vintage Vox wah collection, and analyzing every aspect... going so far as sacrificing a few of the vintage inductors to get it right.

Our Inductor is a tuned core hand-made unit using EXACTLY the same type wire and inductance as the '60's era Vox, except VERY consistent from one unit to the next. A tuned core inductor is much more expensive to make, but the end result is worth it, drop this into your wah and Experience the difference!

All Fulltone wah inductors have a custom MuMetal Cover which virtually eliminates all Hum!
