FD1 Features:
ON/OFF Triple-Pole-Double-Throw (3PDT) footswitch: we use the best parts available anywhere, including the best switch in
the world, the Fulltone-designed & manufactured 3PDT. This pedal has True-Bypass switching so that your sound is not
degraded whether the pedal is turned on or off!
VOLUME Knob: determines the level of the pedal when it’s turned ON only.
TONE knob: This is an acve treble Boost or Cut circuit. You’ll find that the 12 to 1 o’clock posion to be prey neutral, turn
it CCW (counter clockwise) to 10 o’clock or so for smoother high-gain lead sounds (with Drive knob higher than 12 o’clock)
or turn it clockwise for more cut, and a less compressed feel.
OVERDRIVE knob: Turn this Clockwise (CW) for more distoron, keep below 10 0‘clock (with higher Volume knob sengs)
for cleaner sounds and for boosng your amp’s input without adding much distoron.
CLIPPING switch:
CC = Comp-Cut mode:
V = Vintage mode: Normal diode clipping with strong midrange presentaon.
FM = Flat-Mids mode: uses a proprietary feedback circuit that returns signal to the clipping secon cancelling out some of
the midrange content, creang a very open, natural sounding overdrive.
SAMPLE SETTINGS:
Texas Blues: (single coil, Neck PU on clean amp) Vol= 12 o’clock OD= 2 o’clock Tone= 2 o’clock Clipping= V
Rock crunch: (bridge PU distorted tube amp) Vol= 10 o’clock OD= 11 o’clock Tone= 1 o’clock Clipping= CC
Jazz Blues: (neck PU on clean amp) Vol= 12 o’clock OD= 11 o’clock Tone= 3 o’clock Clipping= FM
SPECIFICATIONS:
Input Impedance = @ 370K ohms
Output Impedance = 10k ohms
Current draw= approximately 8 mA
POWER: You may run this pedal on the 9 volt baery (included) or on any voltage
between 9 and 18 Volts DC as long as the adapter is (standard) 2.1mm x 5.5mm
barrel plug with “Negave to Center Pin” configuraon.
Unplug guitar cable from INPUT when not using pedal to prolong baery life.
If you have an adapter plugged in to the DC outlet there is no need to unplug
the guitar cable from the INPUT because our DC outlet is true-bypass and
disconnects the baery supply line, keeping the baery fresh.
You'll be amazed at the sonic differences using 18VDC, it’s cleaner, louder, with
more dynamic. For standard 9 volt operaon, the Fulltone IPS-9 is a great 9VDC
regulated wall wart adapter (for all countries) For 18VDC, make sure that you buy a
regulated adapter like the Fulltone IPS-18. (for use in all countries)
BATTERY REPLACEMENT: remove the 2 thumbscrews from the sides of the pedal
and pull the housing apart. Pull up on the end of the baery and then pull baery
away from the cradle. (see photo)
