Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

Cool on the Tweak Fuzz.....I don't really need or use Fuzz,but I'm reading great reviews about it....Glad because it's a Duncan product and I Love the Duncan Pickup Booster on my pedal board.

yea, its cool to support duncan, but i wouldnt buy it unless it sounds good too :smack: and it definately sounds good

though i do think the fulltone stuff was really well made. just wasnt what i was looking for. I play through old Fender type amps, so i want a fuzz that is super compressed and smooth, since the amps arent overdriving/compressing much in the first place. I think the fulltone stuff is much more suited to "blend" in with the natural overdrive of an amp like an old marshall or somethin along those lines, i bet they can sound great in that situation. on a cleaner type amp, the fulltone fuzzes seemed to sort of "sit on top" of the sound rather than blend into it, so it wasnt a very comfortable sound to the ears, and it wasnt fun to play with. The tweak fuzz is more compressed, less boost and less bass, so its more comfortable to play with for me, cause the sound is really shape-able

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

i know exactly what you mean. When I used my Crate (hahah) MX120, i used a digitech (gasp!) hot rod pedal, just because it acted like its own amp and i was trying to get it to 'take over' the tone of the amp, rather than sit on it.

Alot has to do with breakup, too. Clean, high power fenders either need to be played really really loud to sound good with an OD, or use a good compressed fuzz to mix in with the sound. My deluxe sounds great with a TS9 since i use it with very little gain, just as a 'tighten and goose' mechanism, not a distortion/sound generator.

I'm sure you get disgustingly awesome cleans with that JBL loaded twin though!

I've used the OCD and Fulldrive 2 a lot - I think they were specifically designed to work with older FENDER and MARSHALL amps.

I like the 69 and 70 pedals for a nice fat fuzz. I have never been able to make the distortion pro sound the way I want it to. I have yet to try the Fulltone Clyde Wah and Deja Vibe which I hear are quite good. I still use the Dunlop Univibe.

I have a Fulltone 69 that I used alot, not so much now because ive just been getting a sweet overdrive from my Edana. Its an amazing pedal though, my favorite fuzz.

I also have a mini Deja Vibe that Im not using as much lately, its been a bit harder to dial in a good tone for some reason. Nonetheless its a great vibe too.

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

I own the Clyde Deluxe Wah and the '69...two great pedals!

I had the Fulltone Chorus but sold it quickly. It didn't sound as good as my Boss Chorus pedals or even as good as my Danolectro Cool Cat Stereo Chorus.

Love the Clyde Deluxe and the '69 though...the ultimate vintage Hendrix Vox Wah & Fuzz Face tone.

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

I do not now and have not ever owned a Fulltone pedal but I have a feeling that the new FDII will be the first...I have been GASsing for a FDII for a while and now seems like a damn goof time to get one!

I got the clyde deluxe. Great pedal...best wah I've ever used. Thing smokes.

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

Just ordered the 10th An. FD2

You should have talked to me first Scott...

I would have given you mine...

I have used a whole lot of pedals and still have most of them...

I like the KLON and my modified TS-808's best

:dance: Can you post a detailed comparison between that and the G2D Cream Tone you ordered? I'm contemplating picking up one of those OD's.

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

ordered it last sunday and Musictoys just shipped it today. Those guys sure take a while to do anything.

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

Did you already get the Cream Tone?

And I see what happens when one cannot play guitar for a while...they just order a bunch of gear to play when they recover.

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

creamtone is on its way from bew zealand...

I love that pedal too. The Jimi setting is sort of the standart, but never underestimate the Whacked and Shaft settings too! I can really get into the tone with the Whacked setting (the lower frequency sweep). I'd imagine one of your lower tuned guitars would sound like a big fat crying baby on the Whacked wah setting.

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

Yeah, that OCD get's great review from guys that actually use them in the real world. It get's criticized by players that can't apply it to their rig, for some reason.

Sometimes, I wish I had ALL the Fulltones, and could sell off the ones that I don't need. Mike Fuller gets a lot of criticism for his attitude, but the truth is, he has a lot of morons bothering him on a daily basis. All he wants to do is run his company, and be a musician. He has very little patience for wanna-be rockstars trying to get personal attention. I hung out for a few hours, waiting for a mod to be done, and played on his pedalboard, and one of his amps. He has a hallway full of Marshall and Fender amps. I listened to him talk on the phone for a couple hours, and he gets a lot of calls from morons, and he cuts them off quickly. That's where the shrewd reputation comes from. Then, he'll get a call from a name player, and his demeanor changes 180 degrees!! LOL The funny thing is.....he's kinda like a jerk that you like and respect!....if that makes any sense. That's why you see a lot of mixed opinions about him as a person.

That kinda makes sense. I mean... if hes gonna stay on top of his game I can see why he'd be annoyed taking extra time out to deal with people who are totally clueless and can get their information elsewhere as opposed to serious people who mean business. Obviously his time is very important to him.

I mean... if you made really cool amps would you want to be on the phone all day with blithering idiots who all wanna sound like Jimi did at Woodstock or Eddie during the VHII tour? No, you'd wanna spend as much time as possible talking to people who need little informational maintenance and had money in hand, and designing more good amps.

I have a 69.

But like gearjoneser stated the klon is :smokin:

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

I have never owned very many pedals... but I own a FD-II and I like it a lot. It doesn't get used much but I dig it. I mainly use it to drive Channel 2 (blues channel) on the Diezel to get a 80s metal tone. I want a Clyde Deluxe. I just hope it isn't hard to turn on/off. That is what I love about the Morely Bad Horsie. It is the easiest wah to use ever!

FullDrive II (Yellow)- Loved at the time, not so sure anymore.
ChoralFlange - Nice modern chorus, Flange a little sterile
DejaVibe (original version) - All kinds of vintage swirl and mojo. My fav of the 3

Tried a Distortion Pro but thought it a bit fizzy. To be fair it was a brief test run in the store. No where near enough time to dial in properly.

 

[Gearjoneser]

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

I may sell my Choralflange. It's a cool pedal, but it's not one that I rely on for any real purpose.

I wonder why Fulltone has never come out with a phase pedal? That's the only classic pedal he hasn't covered. He should make a Mutron Bi Phase clone.

Re: Which Fulltone Pedals do you/have you Owned?

Pedals are cool in that you can buy and sell a lot of them and not really have crazy money tied up in it like owning multiple amps.
