The Fulltone Fulldrive 3 Overdrive is a pedal that expands on the highly popular FD2 pedal offers increased versatility and tonal shaping possibilities. It utilises a JFET input and op-amp to provide an organic and very tube-like response from a solid-state pedal. Its two channels act completely independently and can be cascaded into one and other in whichever order you choose changeable via a mini-toggle switch. This pedal holds more than enough versatility and power to be used in whichever way you see fit whether that is as a boost to a lower-gain overdrive or as a roaring independent distortion. A buffered bypass delivers a clean signal and fattens up your tone through even the longest of cables as well as providing isolation from other pedals. This pedal is also equipped with a dynamics control providing subtle compression helping to limit those harsh transients and providing a more full-bodied tone. The Fulltone Fulldrive 3 is a highly refined pedal adding many potential overdrive flavours to your existing setup in a compact and road-ready format.

Overdrive Pedals
Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Buffered Bypass
Keeps an active buffer in the signal path when the effect is bypassed. The buffer converts a high-impedance input to a lower-impedance output, helping long cables and multiple pedals retain level and high frequencies, although its headroom and noise remain part of the path.
