The Fulltone Bass-Drive MOSFET gives bassists their day in the sun, providing tones that are nice and dirty, but with the rich bottom-end they crave. The Bass-Drive can be considered a close cousin to the Full-Drive 2 overdrive, but voiced with an extra octave of expanded bass coverage - perfect for purveyors of the low-end. For bassists looking to add some grit and color to their sound the Bass-Drive MOSFET is just the ticket; tone-conscious guitarists have also found the the Bass-Drive to be a useful tool, too!

Bass-Drive

The Fulltone CLYDE Standard Wah 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 their vintage inductors in the process. The problem with inductors is that they are generally just generic industrial-grade cheapos that vary as much as +/- 30% in tolerance. Some of my mediocre sounding Vox's measured at p360 mH when they are actually supposed to be around 500mh, with the best sounding Vox Clyde McCoy wahs measuring in at around 560mH. My inductors have been custom-made ever since 1996, as are my Wah potentiometers, all other pots, and all switches used in Fulltone products!

Clyde Standard Wah with Buffer

The OCD was the first pedal to use Mosfets as clipping devices. Another first was their configuration as "hard clippers connected to v-ref" instead of to ground, as was the norm. These things contribute greatly as to why the OCD has such touch-sensitivity...why they react so well when the strings are hit hard or soft, and why they sound & feel different than all other pedals out there, 90% of which are just slight tweaks of the Tube Screamer.

The Story of Fulltone OCD

Full-Drive3
Unlike its cousin the FD2, the FD3 uses both a JFET input and a JFET op-amp, giving it the most tube-like sound you can get out of a tubeless pedal. Along with great sound, these JFET’s give the FD3 an ultra-high Input impedance which allows the pedal to mate with any type/gain of pickup and react well to changes in your guitar’s volume control.

3-way CLIPPING toggle switch:
set to 90’s and you’ll get symmetrical clipping with ample midrange.
Set the switch to WIDE ASYM (wide asymmetrical) and more sweet highs and lows come through, along with chimey, Class-A style even harmonic overtones.
set to COMP-CUT mode, pure opamp-overdrive, with no diode clipping assistance. Aggressive, cutting, and capable of a huge volume boost to slam the input of your amp.

Discrete Channels:
Unlike the FD2, the FD3 has completely independent OVERDRIVE and BOOST channels, and the ORDER toggle switch allows placing the BOOST channel* before* or after the OVERDRIVE channel. The BOOST channel is also an extremely transparent, high-headroom 100% JFET-powered circuit.

Buffered Bypass:
Serial# 2548 and higher FD3 pedals are now Buffered-Bypass instead of True-Bypass, so the FD3 will always drive long cables, be isolated from other effects, and always retain the highs and “feel” of your amplifier whether the pedal is turned ON or OFF. Do not confuse the hi-quality JFET op-amp buffer in the FD3 with the simple single transistor buffers on other pedals. The FD3's buffer sounds rich and fat, not thin.

DYNAMICS knob:
A Fulltone-exclusive Germanium diode Limiter circuit circuit that alters the feel of the notes being played as well as subdues transient spikes which can overload your amp’s input. This feature can make even a stiff amp feel responsive and juicy, and sweeten the treble frequencies.
The Icing on the cake? 
The housing is about 20% smaller than the traditional FD2
