@@CorbCorbin Hate to be that metal elitist, but Planet B is thrash and not death. Compare Slayer's Angel of Death (thrash) and Gorguts' With Their Flesh, He'll Create (old school death) However, one thing I agree on: King Gizzard rules!
Of Montreal. He has been going since the 90's changing his sound so profoundly every three records, that they become incomparable. Always pushing new and great.
For my dollar, it’s the Full-Drive 2 MOSFET overdrive. Great sounding pedal. The Supa-Trem is another great pedal. I especially like the v2 model with the clean boost.
Some of my friends use the Deja-Vibe and it's great, my only Fulltone pedal is a OCD V2 but that's great aswell. That Coralflange was my favorite pedal of this episode!
Thrice “Beggars” though in line with their more recent stuff was quite a departure from their older stuff. An incredible record and an even more incredible band!!
I like your #1 pick. The Mas Malo fuzz. It sounded thick and meaty like a pork burrito your ears could chew. My favorite Fulltone pedal is the Plimsoul I just got. (Rev 1) The soul food into that pedal is lead tone city. Love your vids bro. Keep it up. We need you. - j
My top 5 Fulltone pedals... 1. OCD 2. Deja Vibe 3. Clyde DeLuxe 4. Fulldrive 2 5. 69 Fuzz Honorable Mention: Mas Malo Mike builds 'em to my tastes! As you often do Josh! Cheers!!
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots seemed like a big change for the band at the time, and I found it to be a very well-crafted and moving album.
The Choralflange was my fave! As far as a change in music styling I would say the most pleasant surprise was to find out that City and Colour was Dallas Green from Alexisonfire. Love the channel, keep the videos coming. I hope to get the pulp and peel as my next pedal, love how you name and style the pedals.
Josh, I know that you are a busy guy and we all appreciate the time you take to share with us. I really dig the way you listen to the pedals and allow them to write a riff for you to showcase their skills. Thanks.
Because it’s the only fulltone pedal I own, the GT-500 is my #1 fav’. It’s a drive/distortion combo, switchable order. 2-band drive eq. 3-band distortion eq. Harmonically rich distortion, articulate. Very affective eq on both sides. It’s a great pedal. (Runs on 9-18 volts)
She's so good and so versatile! Maybe she herself isn't the world's greatest guitar player, but I don't think I've ever heard a Norah Jones vibe I couldn't get with :)
I feel like your tone was subdued on this episode, and your playing was in line with that mood, whatever it was for you. I appreciate that you made this, and that you showed us something when you're in that space. How's that for projecting a possible reality onto you? I don't know anything, but thanks for sharing. You're doing a good thing here.
Great vinyl selection Josh! I dig that album. The OCD is my fav Fulltone...one of the first pedals I REALLY wanted when I first started playing. I'm definitely going to try the More Bad though!
Cool. The Catalyst is a sleeper... I’ve turned some people on to it. Very versatile. Clean boost to fuzzy destruction. Plim Soul is also a very, very special drive. Of the five you showed I’d have to go with the Deja Vibe. Thanks-
Totally agree.The Catalyst is better than the Molo,-( I actually really didn't like the Molo.) Plimsoul IS cool, and the Deja one of THE ONLY good vibes.
Beck, Sea Change. I wasn't a huge fan of his before that, but it's one of my all-time favorite albums. I don't own any Fulltone pedals (almost bought an OCD once), but my wishlist is pretty close to your top 5. In no particular order: The 70, Octafuzz, Deja Vibe, Supa Trem, and Soul Bender.
Jeffrey Weber I picked up a big box Soulbender a few months ago. It is ridiculously good, that upper octave thing that peeks its head out at times on notes with vibrato is a guitarists heaven
I'm on board with the Mas Malo. It's my main drive pedal and I love it. Between this and my Angry Charlie I can cover most sounds I want a guitar to make.
Kathleen Edwards - Voyageur A stellar record, incredible Breakup album as well. Her records fit into a country rock sorta sound. She made this record with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. The album is lush and has some incredible vocal, guitar work and textures. Some beautiful and devastating songs on this album.
I have a Dejavibe that I bought new from Fulltone in 1994 which I love. It was the second one sold to the general public. Now also have two mini sized versions like you showed which are great too. With all the "vibe" units available today you might not remember when finding a relatively rare expensive original Univibe was practically the only possibility until Fulltone basically put them back on the map. Now we can get a new version of virtually any vintage pedal ever made along with the modern stuff too.
Is it a type of electric mistress? No? Now is discontinued only you can find in the 2nd hand market great pedal. I have OCD v1.4 and Fulltone '69 mkII very good pedals I like all pedals of that manufacturer.
@@kanino0666 I've never owned an Electric Mistress. I would be surprised if the FTCF is based on the EHEM. EM's I've heard on the youtube sound different and the layout just looks like they are meant to do different things.
@@loulasher I bought a Deluxe Electric Mistress, but wasn't so happy with it, plus the hardwired plug was a pain. I replaced it with the Hartman Analog Flanger, based on the original green logo EHX EM. Would like an MXR Flanger too for different sounds.
I used to own a Mini Deja-vibe. My favorite FT pedal. It's a lush monster. Thank you again for your work. Educating the world with truth and you've made me a future customer. I first heard of your stuff watching a rig rundown episode with Andy Timmons. Through that I discovered you. I find the best stuff through osmosis. Can't wait to get a pedal from you. Having built my own tweeked screamer OD pedals and rebuilding my rig from scratch after loosing everything in a divorce I'll be looking for a OD in the screamer or Klon fasion to push an already overdriven tube amp into heaven when I can afford it. Bless you for what you do for the world. Sincerely Eric Denton
Thanks for this great intro to fulltone stuff. I have the octafuzz that I love, even switched on the non-octive mode. The one I appreciated the most on your vid is the ChoralFlanger. Cool playing as usual.👍
I love my full drive 2 MOSFET! I’ve used it live and on recordings for years. For my record time nomination I would nominate Dan Auerbach’s Waiting on a Song”. It was a pleasant departure from the blues rock that he is known for. I would also nominate just about every Radiohead record ever.
Top transitional record: Joni Mitchell, "Both Sides Now." A collection of standards and originals performed in a Big Band context that is effectively a concept album about the life cycle of a love relationship. Incredible performances all around and it's not something you'd ever have expected from Joni.
@@Stratomacaster I doesn't clean up when I roll back my guitar volume... but it really goes great with a tube screamer before and a muff afterwards... I can get all sort of amazing sound textures, although the best is the bender alone! Cheers
One of my favorite pedal builders, I like their cables too. I needed a new toggle switch for a Fulldrive and it took a lot to get one from him, many pics, gut shots etc to prove I needed one lol. Very careful company, don't want people using their parts on clones I suppose, nothing wrong with that but I did get a cool sticker with the switch ! Now do Way Huge top 5 !
The Choralflange is my favorite modulation pedal ever, also the source of an interaction that made it so I'll never support Fulltone again. haha. I bought it used, and the flanger portion wasn't working. So, I called Fulltone to see if I could send it to them, on my own dime, and pay them to fix it. I was specifically not asking for warranty work) I essentially got berated by Mike Fuller for even asking, he told me I broke the pedal, and its my fault it's not working so he's not going to fix it. Even after I explained to him the situation, he kept repeating "you broke my pedal, I'm not fixing it for you." It was a sad day actually, this was way before his pedals were in GC, and they were actually pretty hard to find. There wasn't a dealer for one here in Seattle, and I had been looking for months for a Choralflange. A friend of mine had a Deja-Vibe and Mike's pedals were starting to become these legendary pieces of gear to me and my friends. I have never completely turned my back on a company because of a bad experience like this, but this was the OWNER of the company, freaking out on someone who wanted to give him money for the piece of mind that the designer of the pedal would be the person fixing it. Screw that guy, and his company.
I own an original Choralflange, and it's one of my favorite chorus pedals to this day. Mike Fuller was working on a v2 a few years ago, but he wasn't happy with some components and seems to have abandoned the idea for now. Hopefully it will be released once he is satisfied with the final product.
Gotta be the mini deja vibe. The rocker pedal to adjust the the rate just makes the vibe so much more dynamic than just the static effect. If it were up to me every effect would be in a wah housing so you can adjust on the fly.
I'd say Blur by Blur. When I started playing I unintentionally wrote songs that sounded like early Blur that used the effects used on later Blur records. Though obviously they were no where near as good. I realised later i'm probably more a fan of Graham Coxon than I am Blur. Anyway I think this probably in my top 3 favourite records of all time. It highlights GC's guitar and defines the mix of the record. I think you'd probably like Blur by Blur, Mr. Scott as its influenced very heavily by the slacker rock bands you frequently mention. I just realised I typed Blur about 14 times... Blur.
I would have to say the SupaTrem2 is one of my favourite Fulltone pedals , and the Deja Vibe was my favourite one you had the this episode. Awesome video!!
Never heard the Choral/Flange before. Loved that first setting! The Mas Malo caught my attention, too. I have the Full Drive 2, the edition before it says mosfet on it. I don't know if that means anything, but it's pretty cool. I'll check out that Norah album, as well. I like when an artist surprises me. In a good way. Of course, Bowie was known for his versatility, but his last album, Blackstar, was a departure into a new sonic palette with a whole different set of musicians: Donny McCaslin's trio. The drumming by Mark Guiliana is transcendent to my little ears. Brilliant.
I have the Plimsoul and love it! Based on your suggestion, and how it sounded, I may have to look at the Mas Malo when I get a few extra bucks. He is local for me, so I always try to support local businesses' . Thanks for reviewing and love you channel.
Is there any pedal you don't have 🤔 great episode, I'd love to see one on the old Rocktron pedals, I'm currently collecting them from the 90s as well as the slightly later ones.
Great vid Josh, my choice of Band change of direction surely has to be Talk Talk. From previous Albums to ‘Spirit of Eden’ is just a wondrous sonic pleasure, give it a listen and immerse yourself . Enjoy.
#1 Clyde Deluxe Wah, #2 OCD (version 1.7), #3 Custom Shop Mini Deja Vibe Mark 2, #4 That 80's Rack Chorus, #5 Tube Tape Echo. Lots of Great Pedals from Fulltone.
I love all my Fulltone pedals (Ultimate Octave, big box ‘70 and a black MDV-1 Déjà Vibe), but if I have to choose I’ll go with the Ultimate Octave. Loud, aggressive, but still very musical. Cuts through any mix. Only ever tried the Octafuzz once on another guitarist’s board, and didn’t quite get it to work, but it was definitely my favorite of your favorites. Best transitional album ever: “Spirit of Eden” by Talk Talk. Highly recommended!
I love my fulltone OF1...it makes me wonder about serious questions of this reality...for example...wich fuzz circuit is it? The tycobrahe didnt have a fuzz/octave switch like this one does...when it is in fuzz only, wich fuzz is that? What sort of circuit? Is it fuzz face, Tone bender, superfuzz, roger mayers design? This has been keeping from getting a good night of sleep for a decade now. This is the 3rd comment i make asking this question. Great video as always. Keep up the good work
Fairly new subscriber to this channel and I love it. Could you if you haven't yet done a run down on Donner pedals? The Berhinger video you did recently is what got me to this channel doing some audio research and would love more lesser known pedals by people that aren't in guitar center
I more or less threw an OCD on the board because I had an 18v supply spot on the brick that I didn't want to waste. This is my only Fulltone, but I probably have 30 OD/distortion pedals, and I was impressed enough to keep it on my board since I bought it. Few pedals have lived on my board that long. Sounds great with a TS style pedal in front.
I've followed Soulwax since the 90's when they were a bluesy alternative rock band. Their move towards electronic in the 2000's, especially reworking their own "Any Minute Now" album, blew my mind. Every one of their albums is brilliant but moving through their catalogue is like switching between radio stations, you wouldn't think they were the same guys. Of special note is the "Belgica" soundtrack, where they perform each song as a different fictional band - there's reggae, punk, synth-pop, indie, turkish pop...They're frikkin' geniuses!
that mas malo is sick! love the sound it never gets too muddy! I had a bad experience with a fulltone ocd that died after a few months may be tempted to try with them again
The 70 is the pedal I almost always use - wide variety especially playing with volume knob - my vibe is never off - can’t wait for the new chorus/flange he’s said is out summer ‘24
Hey Josh, thanks for one more really cool overview of equipments !! Greetings from Manaus - Brazil Question for you, and also should be a subject for a next video... record time, like equipments (speakers),rare records based in the 10 rare pedals or something like in this way. I think that should be really helpful and enjoyable for your fans !! Huge fan from the middle of the jungle !! Marlon 🖖🏻
Couldn't agree more about the Mas Malo. I walked into a Guitar Center one day about a year ago just killing some time. I saw that pedal in the used case and tried it out not even really thinking about it. I was shocked at how awesome it sounded! It was the best fuzz I ever played. Bought it on the spot. It was my first impulse pedal purchase. I have been playing it ever since and love it!
My favorite Fulltone Pedal from the video was the Deja Vibe and my favorite overall Fulltone is my "project box with lables" Soul Bender (#97)--FANTASTIC!! A cool album different from previous ones by the artist: Revolver by the Beatles. Thanks for the great videos and terrific pedals. :)
These Videos are the Perfect, middle ground, entertainment, perfect for today's attention span. Not too long. No Fake. Just Gear opinion from a Tone chasing Dude.
I gave away 2 FullDrives and a Soul Bender. Those germanium transistor are unruley to manage, and now love my MJM Brit Bender. I like that the new Soul Benders are smaller. Those Octavias are cool.
Never was a big fan of fulltone, but supatrem is... oh god. The sweetest tremolo effect ever made. The curve is such good for guitar and for synth that I cant imagine better. Forever in my board.
Think you are right about the mas Malo...thanks for being so cool and making another awesome video. Love watching them, and gonna check out the Norah Jones album!
"Kinda want it on my board, don't have enough room". In the words of Chief Brody, "You're gonna need a bigger board". Well, you left off my favorites in the Distortion Pro and the Plimsoul but since you mentioned the Octafuzz, you're forgiven. You got me hooked on the Octafuzz and it was a great purchase. I may be buried with it. We won't mention the OCD since all boards come with them pre installed. Ha, Ministry went from new wave pop to industrial dance to metal. It all worked!
Stone Temple Pilots: Purple was a WAAAYY different concept and sound compared to their debut and to this day remains a vibrant and ground breaking album in alternative rock. My favorite Fulltone pedal is actually my tried and true old Supa trem... hand signed by Mike, so a very early model! Bear in mind, I do own an OCD v4 and '70 BC108 fuzz, and I use them EVERY GIG...but the Supa Trem has this volume boost built in that I use even more often. It simply LIFTS my sound and makes it crystal clear. Having a classic photo cell tremolo is never a bad thing to have as well, but that pedal has become a hardcore foundation of my live tone.
I'm a big Mike Fuller booster/supporter. I bought from the first run of powder blue FULLDRIVEs... very early. I'm mad that I traded it in when I bought the one I still have today, the 10th anniversary Custom Shop model in Ferrari red. There are a lot of the newer bluer ones around, being that I'm making my living in L.A. People hear my red one and kind of get jealous. I love the OCD. When kids (students/clients) get all into high gain on their Line 5 Spiders... I plug an OCD into a standard Fender Tube amp and the kid goes nuts. They get it right away. The OCD helps newbies identify what complexity means in higher gain. I had and sold a "Distortion Pro" and traded it in on a Plimsoul, which always rules... always. I can't imagine living without it. I recorded some psychedelic songs for release in Germany. My big freakout solo was done with an SG into a Vox AC30... but between them, a Clyde Wah in "whacked" mode. I use it a lot. It lives at the studio. Also at the studio that I can borrow anytime, an ULTIMATE OCTAVE fuzz and a DeJaVibe with treadle. But my secret sauce, a pedal I never go without, is called "Fat Boost" and they don't make it anymore. It's just shy of being a treble boost... but damn close. I love how no one gets them... but I always make stuff sound better and people keep wondering how. Mike Fuller is a great player, a great bandleader, a fair and reliable employer and to those who tell me about their actual friendships with Mike he sounds like one of the true and loyal types. He's also opinionated AF and will speechify to sellers and clients and I hope he gave money to the Amp Crazy Jerry Blaha funeral expenses. Jerry taught him a lot at the beginning. Hey! That MAS MALO sounds very KoT/Panthon the way you had it set. yes. Fulltone forever.
My favorite Fulltone pedal is the Supa Trem (ST-1). It's an always-on pedal for me. I turn the mix all the way down and the volume up as a boost that sounds great through either an old fender super or vibrolux at home or even the Boss Katana at my church. Then when I want great sounding trem, I just move the mix up. I also really like the OCD I recently got (in candy-apple red!), which I've been using in conjunction with a Superbolt for overdrive. But my second favorite Fulltone thing is the True Path ABY-ST, which allowed me to do a wet-dry rig. Getting that a few months ago and plugging in to the Super (dry) and Vibrolux (wet) absolutely blew my mind.
You’re my favorite fulltone pedal

This episode: Deja-vibe
That Choralflange is one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. I am going to get one.
I never regretted buying a Fulltone pedal. They're just amazing sounding perfect little tanks. My favourite so far is the 70s fuzz.
A Blake Mills / JHS mashup video blog would be amazing.
Bowie is the king of CH-CH-CH-Changes!
Love the Soul Bender! Sounds vintage as hell!

Honorable mention:
Soul Bender
OCD V2 (Sorry haters; Fuller finally perfected the OCD)
Bob Conklin Love the SoulBender...
Have you actually played thru the original OCDs?
+1 on the Soulbender, I finally got my hands on an early ‘big box’ version on a trade for a speaker cabinet this year and it’s totally killer.
Bowie was constantly reinventing himself, but the first Tin Machine record was absolutely amazing!

OCD v1.2 is amazing;)
Yes, that’s how I use my Octafuzz, and it cleans up beautifully with guitar volume knob rolled off some, like the best fuzzface!
Agreed. My OCD 1.2 RICO never leaves the board and has been the foundation of my town for over 12 years.
The Choralflange is my favorite modulation pedal ever, also the source of an interaction that made it so I'll never support Fulltone again. haha. I bought it used, and the flanger portion wasn't working. So, I called Fulltone to see if I could send it to them, on my own dime, and pay them to fix it. I was specifically not asking for warranty work) I essentially got berated by Mike Fuller for even asking, he told me I broke the pedal, and its my fault it's not working so he's not going to fix it. Even after I explained to him the situation, he kept repeating "you broke my pedal, I'm not fixing it for you." It was a sad day actually, this was way before his pedals were in GC, and they were actually pretty hard to find. There wasn't a dealer for one here in Seattle, and I had been looking for months for a Choralflange. A friend of mine had a Deja-Vibe and Mike's pedals were starting to become these legendary pieces of gear to me and my friends. I have never completely turned my back on a company because of a bad experience like this, but this was the OWNER of the company, freaking out on someone who wanted to give him money for the piece of mind that the designer of the pedal would be the person fixing it. Screw that guy, and his company.
I own an original Choralflange, and it's one of my favorite chorus pedals to this day. Mike Fuller was working on a v2 a few years ago, but he wasn't happy with some components and seems to have abandoned the idea for now. Hopefully it will be released once he is satisfied with the final product.
When the Misfits reformed in 97.
Totally different sound with that new drummer and vocalist, and a new era of punk all together
I actually somewhat prefer the Graves era, it's just a fantastic rock sound
@@davidjameschamberlain same.
Doyle's guitar tone reached its pinnacle at that point, and Dr. Chud is the best drummer they've ever had imo.
Can’t get enough of these episodes!!!
Like the videos. Also enjoy the album recommendations. Nice touch.
Gotta be the mini deja vibe. The rocker pedal to adjust the the rate just makes the vibe so much more dynamic than just the static effect. If it were up to me every effect would be in a wah housing so you can adjust on the fly.
I'd say Blur by Blur. When I started playing I unintentionally wrote songs that sounded like early Blur that used the effects used on later Blur records. Though obviously they were no where near as good. I realised later i'm probably more a fan of Graham Coxon than I am Blur.
Anyway I think this probably in my top 3 favourite records of all time. It highlights GC's guitar and defines the mix of the record. I think you'd probably like Blur by Blur, Mr. Scott as its influenced very heavily by the slacker rock bands you frequently mention.
I just realised I typed Blur about 14 times...
Blur.
Gary Dobson it was all one big blur
Mine is the OCD 1.2 Rico. It will never leave my board. I want to try a mini deja vibe.
You make the whole pedal market to grow. Brilliant!
I would have to say the SupaTrem2 is one of my favourite Fulltone pedals , and the Deja Vibe was my favourite one you had the this episode. Awesome video!!
Never heard the Choral/Flange before. Loved that first setting! The Mas Malo caught my attention, too. I have the Full Drive 2, the edition before it says mosfet on it. I don't know if that means anything, but it's pretty cool. I'll check out that Norah album, as well. I like when an artist surprises me. In a good way. Of course, Bowie was known for his versatility, but his last album, Blackstar, was a departure into a new sonic palette with a whole different set of musicians: Donny McCaslin's trio. The drumming by Mark Guiliana is transcendent to my little ears. Brilliant.
I think I can afford just one more flanger...
Fulltone Ranger is one of the best pedals I’ve ever owned - super quality & versatility. Does the RM thing as good as it’s been done IMO
I have the Plimsoul and love it! Based on your suggestion, and how it sounded, I may have to look at the Mas Malo when I get a few extra bucks. He is local for me, so I always try to support local businesses' . Thanks for reviewing and love you channel.
God, that Deja Vibe is lush. So much so that it puts you into a different world.
Is there any pedal you don't have 🤔 great episode, I'd love to see one on the old Rocktron pedals, I'm currently collecting them from the 90s as well as the slightly later ones.
Pantera that went from glam/hair rock, to hardcore southern metal. Personally I like the metal way better.
Great vid Josh, my choice of Band change of direction surely has to be Talk Talk. From previous Albums to ‘Spirit of Eden’ is just a wondrous sonic pleasure, give it a listen and immerse yourself . Enjoy.
#1 Clyde Deluxe Wah, #2 OCD (version 1.7), #3 Custom Shop Mini Deja Vibe Mark 2, #4 That 80's Rack Chorus, #5 Tube Tape Echo. Lots of Great Pedals from Fulltone.
Watched this and then got myself a Fulltone '70 - so glad I did, its one awesome fuzz!
In my head I'm.Eddie Hazel every time I stomp on it 🥳
I love all my Fulltone pedals (Ultimate Octave, big box ‘70 and a black MDV-1 Déjà Vibe), but if I have to choose I’ll go with the Ultimate Octave. Loud, aggressive, but still very musical. Cuts through any mix. Only ever tried the Octafuzz once on another guitarist’s board, and didn’t quite get it to work, but it was definitely my favorite of your favorites. Best transitional album ever: “Spirit of Eden” by Talk Talk. Highly recommended!
I love my fulltone OF1...it makes me wonder about serious questions of this reality...for example...wich fuzz circuit is it? The tycobrahe didnt have a fuzz/octave switch like this one does...when it is in fuzz only, wich fuzz is that? What sort of circuit? Is it fuzz face, Tone bender, superfuzz, roger mayers design?
This has been keeping from getting a good night of sleep for a decade now. This is the 3rd comment i make asking this question. Great video as always. Keep up the good work
You made me a Uni-Vibe addict so my favorite is the Deja-Vibe.
Jonathan Wapner try the jhs unicorn it’s freaking amazing
I have played and I own a Fulltone Fulldrive, it's a 2004 pre mosfet. When this came out, it was the drive sound I had been looking for.
Fairly new subscriber to this channel and I love it. Could you if you haven't yet done a run down on Donner pedals? The Berhinger video you did recently is what got me to this channel doing some audio research and would love more lesser known pedals by people that aren't in guitar center
I more or less threw an OCD on the board because I had an 18v supply spot on the brick that I didn't want to waste. This is my only Fulltone, but I probably have 30 OD/distortion pedals, and I was impressed enough to keep it on my board since I bought it. Few pedals have lived on my board that long. Sounds great with a TS style pedal in front.
I've followed Soulwax since the 90's when they were a bluesy alternative rock band. Their move towards electronic in the 2000's, especially reworking their own "Any Minute Now" album, blew my mind. Every one of their albums is brilliant but moving through their catalogue is like switching between radio stations, you wouldn't think they were the same guys. Of special note is the "Belgica" soundtrack, where they perform each song as a different fictional band - there's reggae, punk, synth-pop, indie, turkish pop...They're frikkin' geniuses!
that mas malo is sick! love the sound it never gets too muddy! I had a bad experience with a fulltone ocd that died after a few months may be tempted to try with them again
The 70 is the pedal I almost always use - wide variety especially playing with volume knob - my vibe is never off - can’t wait for the new chorus/flange he’s said is out summer ‘24
The Más Malo is amazing but you make 2 many Amazing od/distortion the sweet tea is one of my favorite. You really Rock 🙌🙌🤗🤗🎸🎸
Hey Josh, thanks for one more really cool overview of equipments !! Greetings from Manaus - Brazil
Question for you, and also should be a subject for a next video... record time, like equipments (speakers),rare records based in the 10 rare pedals or something like in this way. I think that should be really helpful and enjoyable for your fans !!
Huge fan from the middle of the jungle !!
Marlon 🖖🏻
Couldn't agree more about the Mas Malo. I walked into a Guitar Center one day about a year ago just killing some time. I saw that pedal in the used case and tried it out not even really thinking about it. I was shocked at how awesome it sounded! It was the best fuzz I ever played. Bought it on the spot. It was my first impulse pedal purchase. I have been playing it ever since and love it!
My favorite Fulltone Pedal from the video was the Deja Vibe and my favorite overall Fulltone is my "project box with lables" Soul Bender (#97)--FANTASTIC!! A cool album different from previous ones by the artist: Revolver by the Beatles.
Thanks for the great videos and terrific pedals. :)
These Videos are the Perfect, middle ground, entertainment, perfect for today's attention span. Not too long. No Fake. Just Gear opinion from a Tone chasing Dude.
I gave away 2 FullDrives and a Soul Bender. Those germanium transistor are unruley to manage, and now love my MJM Brit Bender. I like that the new Soul Benders are smaller. Those Octavias are cool.
Never was a big fan of fulltone, but supatrem is... oh god. The sweetest tremolo effect ever made. The curve is such good for guitar and for synth that I cant imagine better. Forever in my board.
Great vid, hombre. Keep ‘em flyin’, Josh!
Wow... I thought my big box purple '70 was the first model. I learned something today! Thanks for another great video!
Think you are right about the mas Malo...thanks for being so cool and making another awesome video. Love watching them, and gonna check out the Norah Jones album!
"Kinda want it on my board, don't have enough room". In the words of Chief Brody, "You're gonna need a bigger board". Well, you left off my favorites in the Distortion Pro and the Plimsoul but since you mentioned the Octafuzz, you're forgiven. You got me hooked on the Octafuzz and it was a great purchase. I may be buried with it. We won't mention the OCD since all boards come with them pre installed. Ha, Ministry went from new wave pop to industrial dance to metal. It all worked!
Stone Temple Pilots: Purple was a WAAAYY different concept and sound compared to their debut and to this day remains a vibrant and ground breaking album in alternative rock. My favorite Fulltone pedal is actually my tried and true old Supa trem... hand signed by Mike, so a very early model! Bear in mind, I do own an OCD v4 and '70 BC108 fuzz, and I use them EVERY GIG...but the Supa Trem has this volume boost built in that I use even more often. It simply LIFTS my sound and makes it crystal clear. Having a classic photo cell tremolo is never a bad thing to have as well, but that pedal has become a hardcore foundation of my live tone.
I'm a big Mike Fuller booster/supporter. I bought from the first run of powder blue FULLDRIVEs... very early. I'm mad that I traded it in when I bought the one I still have today, the 10th anniversary Custom Shop model in Ferrari red. There are a lot of the newer bluer ones around, being that I'm making my living in L.A. People hear my red one and kind of get jealous. I love the OCD. When kids (students/clients) get all into high gain on their Line 5 Spiders... I plug an OCD into a standard Fender Tube amp and the kid goes nuts. They get it right away. The OCD helps newbies identify what complexity means in higher gain. I had and sold a "Distortion Pro" and traded it in on a Plimsoul, which always rules... always. I can't imagine living without it. I recorded some psychedelic songs for release in Germany. My big freakout solo was done with an SG into a Vox AC30... but between them, a Clyde Wah in "whacked" mode. I use it a lot. It lives at the studio. Also at the studio that I can borrow anytime, an ULTIMATE OCTAVE fuzz and a DeJaVibe with treadle. But my secret sauce, a pedal I never go without, is called "Fat Boost" and they don't make it anymore. It's just shy of being a treble boost... but damn close. I love how no one gets them... but I always make stuff sound better and people keep wondering how. Mike Fuller is a great player, a great bandleader, a fair and reliable employer and to those who tell me about their actual friendships with Mike he sounds like one of the true and loyal types. He's also opinionated AF and will speechify to sellers and clients and I hope he gave money to the Amp Crazy Jerry Blaha funeral expenses. Jerry taught him a lot at the beginning. Hey! That MAS MALO sounds very KoT/Panthon the way you had it set. yes. Fulltone forever.
Here's the fulltone Clyde solo... start at 2:50 - ua-cam.com/video/0LI2TYu4m8Y/v-deo.html
Just bought a deja vibe and I’ve totally fallen in love with it! Perfectly timed vid
Fulltone are to this day my favorite pedals. I really enjoy JHS pedals as well.
Great video Josh! Thanks for making these.
I think these are now my favorite videos.
I have the gold deja vibe, what an amazing pedal! Very elegant in sound!
My favorite Fulltone pedal is the Supa Trem (ST-1). It's an always-on pedal for me. I turn the mix all the way down and the volume up as a boost that sounds great through either an old fender super or vibrolux at home or even the Boss Katana at my church. Then when I want great sounding trem, I just move the mix up. I also really like the OCD I recently got (in candy-apple red!), which I've been using in conjunction with a Superbolt for overdrive. But my second favorite Fulltone thing is the True Path ABY-ST, which allowed me to do a wet-dry rig. Getting that a few months ago and plugging in to the Super (dry) and Vibrolux (wet) absolutely blew my mind.
My 3 favourite Fulltones would be the Clyde, the ‘69 and the Deja-Vibe. I sort of collect Fulltone pedals.😁
My grandpa was named Clyde. He wore the name well and built big wooden boats in his driveway. RIP Clyde, ya old salt
