We can't believe the Fulltone Fulldrive has already been in production for around 20 years. Although there have been many different versions there are a lot of people who swear by the late 90's or early 2000's models. 

Now they are bringing back that original circuit in a new single pedal casing. A smaller, affordable version of one of the best pedals Fulltone have ever made. The Fulltone Full-Drive 1 is a serious contender for space on your pedalboard. 

What made the original Full Drive sound so good was the tonal toggle switch. These changed the overall tone of the pedal quickly and easily. Flat-Mids, Vintage and infamous comp-cut modes can all be found on this pedal.

Here's what Fulltone say about the FullDrive 1

Yes it's true, finally the sound of a late 90s to early 2000s Fulldrive with-OUT the boost channel! Simple as it comes… with Volume, Tone, Drive, and toggle bringing back the Flat-Mids (FM), Vintage, and the infamous (for assaulting the front end of tube amps) Comp-Cut (CC) modes. Also has the incredible internally switchable "Enhanced Bypass" or "True-Bypass" a Fulltone exclusive (yah roll your eyes… until you try a FD1 or OCD V2 when it's turned off in EB mode!)

Soundwise? I'm talking about the exact (full midrange) Comp-Cut that was in the earliest FD2s, not the Flatter mids CC in later models. So even though the FD-1 will have the Flat-Mids mode, the Comp-Cut is the fuller-mids version identical to the "pre FM / pre-MOSFET" versions of the FD2. This tiny pedal is the size of our Mas-Malo, with top-mounted (also called rear mounted) jacks & power port, and a JRC4558 chip for your go-to overdrive sound.

Brand

Fulltone

Fulltone is a boutique guitar effects pedal manufacturer known for its high-quality, hand-built pedals designed to replicate vintage tones while incorporating modern features and reliability. Founded by musician and engineer Michael Fuller in 1991, Fulltone initially gained recognition with its flagship product, the Full-Drive overdrive pedal, which offered players a versatile range of overdriven tones inspired by classic tube amplifiers.

Since then, Fulltone has expanded its product line to include a variety of effects pedals such as fuzz, distortion, delay, modulation, and more. Each Fulltone pedal is meticulously crafted using top-quality components and circuit designs, resulting in pedals that are celebrated for their rich sound, responsiveness, and durability. Notable offerings include the OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Drive) overdrive/distortion pedal, the ’69 fuzz, and the TTE (Tube Tape Echo) tape echo emulator.

Fulltone’s commitment to excellence and its dedication to preserving the sonic legacy of vintage gear have made it a favorite among discerning guitarists and musicians seeking premium effects pedals. With a reputation for delivering exceptional tone and craftsmanship, Fulltone continues to be a prominent player in the boutique pedal market.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
