I bought a Fulltone Full Drive II for $80 ($60 USD) shortly after its founder made a comment on current events that wasn't received well and flooded the used market with Fulltone pedals for a short period. It's a great Tube screamer style OD and while I've never been fond of pedal dirt in general, I felt like it was a good opportunity to give it a chance. I used it for awhile and liked it, but didn't love it. Over time I accepted it was a good pedal but wasn't the flavour I wanted. Recently I dug up my long neglected DS-1 and plugged it in. It confirmed what I already knew, if I'm going to use a stompbox for distortion, it needs to be a JCM800 type pedal.
A few days ago I listed the Full Drive II on the online classifieds specifying I wanted to trade for an OCD in the listing. Within a couple hours I get a message from a OCD owner who was happy to trade. Tonight we made the exchange. Thanks Boss DS1, I hope you enjoyed the week you spent on the pedal board. Now back to paper weight duties!
This is a version 4 pedal, made in 2019. It sounds amazing and is super responsive to picking dynamics. Don't know why I got a Full Drive and not a OCD 2 years ago but live and learn. All's well that ends well.
