About the Fulltone Fulldrive 3

The Fulltone Fulldrive 3 is a transparent, tube-style overdrive with a separate boost, and it can run at 18V for extra headroom. Owners find it very amp-dependent: it comes alive into an already-driven or crunchy tube amp, but into a pristine clean amp it can sound flat and too transparent.

Owner verdicts on the Fulldrive 3 are very amp-dependent, and worth reading with your own rig in mind. Into an already-driven or crunchy tube amp it is a fantastic-sounding overdrive that owners genuinely miss when it is gone. Into a pristine clean amp, though, several find it too transparent, flat, even a bit cardboardy, and more than one nearly moved it on for that reason. The way owners rescue it is to lean on the boost side: even when the drive channel did not suit a clean amp, they found the boost magnificent for pushing their other drive pedals, and some feed it into a tube preamp or crank it as an extreme booster. It also runs at 18V for extra headroom, which is how one owner gigs with it. The bottom line owners land on: pair it with a driven tube amp or use its boost to push other pedals and it delivers, but expect less magic straight into a clean amp.
