Fulltone Fulldrive 2 MOSFET

Fulltone · pedal

The Fulltone Fulldrive 2 MOSFET is a long-standing industry-standard overdrive and boost that became a best-selling stompbox, voiced to sit between a TS9 and an SD-1 with more clarity and gain range. A MOSFET switch adds a smoother, more tube-like response with extra low end and roundness, while a three-mode toggle offers Comp Cut, FM, and Vintage voicings ranging from clean boost to medium overdrive. FM mode delivers more gain with a natural, punchy, tight breakup, while Vintage mode is warmer and heavier on the mids. A separate boost section can push the drive or an amp harder. The tone control works well across its range, adding usable brilliance or softening the edges. Versatile and dynamic, it suits blues, classic rock, and country players who want a flexible, amp-like drive with several distinct flavors in one box.

What stands out

  • “The MOSFET switch smooths the response and rounds out the low end, and the three modes meaningfully shift the character from a clean comp-cut boost to a punchy, tight FM overdrive and a warmer, mid-rich Vintage tone, with a separate boost f…”
