The Fulltone Full-Drive2 has always been a Tube-Screamer killer, plain and simple. The original Full-Drive2’s
footswitchable Boost Mode was smart, but simply a way to switch between two different distoron sengs
on the fly. Although it worked nicely, it did not allow you a separate Volume level for each mode, making it a
challenge to balance the two modes.

Not only does V2 have a separate volume control for Drive 2 channel, it has a ton of clipping Modes including:
Comp-Cut (CC) , the warmer 90s version, which is anything-but transparent, and pummels your amp’s input.
Vintage Mode (VIN) with its slightly asymmetrical, fat, warm sound.
Flat-Mids (FM), the warmer, faer FM from the late 90s/early 2000s.
WIDE mode, more open, more boom-end, more clarity.
Half-Clipped (HC) mode, where the bass notes are less distorted and the higher notes sing for days.
Features include a JRC4558 opamp, full-size audiophile-grade capacitors, internal baery cradle, 9-18VDC
operaon, a ny bullet-proof steel enclosure, top-mounted jacks, and True-Bypass using our own Fulltone
3PDT footswitch.
This is the one pedal you could take to any session or gig and have every sound you’d need at your disposal.
enjoy it!
