All user reviews for the Fulltone Fat-Boost

This is an analog boost (for me the first version), made by hand, it shows the interior is ultra clean. a tone knob and a gain knob, and a tiny button master. in a jack, a jack out and roll youth!

UTILIZATION

two buttons and a half, we will not get lost! But the tone is very versatile, and can therefore make a clean as a treble boost. the reserve volume is huge, and the format is mxr model so it's easy to find it on a pedal board.

SOUND QUALITY

This is the transistor, but good! No complaints about the quality, I've never had a spitting in one year tour. I pass on the usefulness of a boost, but the signal quality is maintained. And at the same time if you want to add a dose of crunch, she also knows how to do it!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, and it never did me suprirse (which I can not say all the pedals, even those that I love). I would do this choice without hesitation it is so effective. It's expensive, but the price premium.

A real boost trs versatile, can play several RLES or as it is placed in the chaining effects, and of course, depending on how the RULES. The technology uses the vintage modern is still the Fulltone ... in this case, component cable top with onions, with knobs of musical and efficiency throughout their shopping, true bypass. A carractristique particulire this pedals is the drive button notched 11 positions, which increases the amount of gain while rebiassant transistor according to which it is SOLICIT Manir.
With a volume up to 30 db, a button your 'super hi-cut may even be disables when turned fully clockwise.

Input, output, supply of 9 volt accepting up to 18 volts ... hyper robust frame, the pedals PSE heavy inspires confidence ... and damn, was ringing!

UTILIZATION

Simple? yes because trs intuitive, yet taking head a little so there are many possibilities, but once we understood what we wanted to give this rle PDAL (lead Booster, booster boosting amplifier for low volume boost at the end of a long chain or upstream effects of long cables as buffer and finally ... ... just an overdrive of hell .... in any case it satisfies its rle brilliantly ... and there is something to have several to make it play all these DIFFERENT RLES in a few shot switch.

The manual could not be clearer, it can quickly become familiar with the trs possibility of fat boost.

SOUND QUALITY

In boost mode, the pedals work just as well before or after a distortion. Of course, if placed before the distortion, it will add more gain and volumes, with just the hair and low compression mediums giving body (rve) leads to pests that wants to pter .
I personally prfre I place two distos like this:
Guitar-> Fuzz-Soulbender> fatboost-> Overdrive OCD.
Gain and volume boost fat is 1 hour. It allows him to boost the volume when using the soulbender for leads, and boost the gain when I use the OCD for rhythm fatter, and the wonderful feedback we can hook easier.

However, a clear sound, it has added a great dynamic worthy of a class A amp, also used in arpges or interventions solos more finesse ... in fact ... the pedals gives life notes, it's pretty amazing, it seems to have the amp is back ... in short, it aporte dynamics that everyone is looking.

Note that it also applies to the bass and acoustic.

I use a les paul in a Soldano. And in any case of figures, I am delighted to engage La fatboost!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days, but I really spent time understanding and apprcier. The only small thing we can blame and then funny noise it makes when you turn the gain knob, noise while normal because it is the recalibration of the transistor is being done ... but having said that, a Once you found the SETTING THE gain that you want, you touch more.

I tried treblebooster I possd long the MXR micro amp ... but Fulltone rahlala ... ... it's really another world: o)
A quality of manufacture, easy rglages chopper with a bunch of possible interactions, we first make every afternoon and was already sound, then is refined according to what we want to get in depending on the hardware being used.
Although there ... sr ​​price lev enough ... of course, but sometimes I wonder if bought a bunch of pedals to change Chres least every six months ended becaufe reproached him either a default is not more expensive in the end.

Fulltone is the exellence, tradition and evolution in the service of the Musical ...

I'm not really into this pedal so my review will dictate that unpleasant feeling towards it. This is a subtle pedal in that the effect it gives while very transparent is extremely low. You will hear a difference when you engage this pedal from your normal rig tone but it doesn't do a whole lot.

However, the way I believe it was designed was to use at the end of your signal chain and a line booster if anything. In this application it achieves the tone when loosing signal with long effects chains or long instrument cables. The Fulltone Fat Boost 3 is slightly different then is previous examples.

UTILIZATION

Pretty simple to use...it has two control knobs and two mini knobs that dial in the bass and treble as desired. When it comes to these types of pedals I am really looking for something that doesn't alter the tone. So when I see knobs to dial EQ I pass my interest very quickly. Especially it is something that is used as a buffer which ideally would have no EQ operation. Just a box and maybe one control knob like the Flying Dragon from Lizard Leg Effects.

SOUND QUALITY

Like I mentioned previously the sound is very good but not too much of a difference. I like using boost for amps on occasion but this doesn't do it for me. I think I would much rather get an OCD from Fulltone and run it as a clean boost. But if this thing is designed for the end of your chain than I would pass on it.

If I need an EQ boost than I would get an MXR EQ and be done with it. The EQing for me just kills this idea for a pedal. If I need a buffer than I'd buy one from Wampler.

OVERALL OPINION

I would pass on this pedal. They original pedals are harder to find now, but I think you can pass on it if you don't have long effects chains or long cables. Fulltone products are made to high quality standards so this pedal is very good quality but not a real need for it in my opinion.

I probably would only recommend this pedal to someone in need of an inexpensive and subtle boost. It is pretty cheap and will boost your amp a little. If you need a pedal to stack on top of your existing overdrive pedal than this is a good pedal for that. It does give a solid boost to other OD pedals.

This is a boost pedal made by Fulltone. It's called the Fat Boost because in addition to simple volume boost, it fattens up your tone a lot. It has two 1/4" connections as well as an input for an AC adapter which will prevent you from losing tone. There are no MIDI connections, nor is there any computer options. This pedal is not rackable.

UTILIZATION

The editing on this pedal is pretty easy. There is a knob for volume and a knob for tone, as well as a smaller knob for input gain. It might be strange to have what appears to be two volume knobs on the pedal, but you'll soon notice that one is more of the clean boost while the other fattens, even drives, the tone a little bit. This pedal, like most pedals, eats batteries so I recommend using the adapter, it'll save you money in the long run. I don't have a manual as I got mine used but I don't think anyone would really need one.

SOUND QUALITY

I like this pedal a lot, but I don't know if it's my favorite boost pedal. While it is cool that it fattens up the sound, and sometimes gives it a light overdrive, I don't know if that is always what I am looking for. This is great if you play blues or R&B, or really anything with a clean tube sound, but if you play rock that is heavier, you will find that using this in combination with a fuzz or heavier distortion will make that signal muddier, which is the last thing you want, unless you're going for some type of lo-fi, mangled sound. The pedal colors the tone a little too much for my taste, as well. It's a cool pedal in its own right but I think I'd prefer a cleaner boost with my existing pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

While the pedal is cool, the coloring of the sound and the mild overdrive aren't exactly my cup of tea, especially since you'll get similar but better sounds from an overdrive pedal (not to mention more variety in tone). I would try the pedal if it sounds like something you'd be interested in but just make sure you know what you're doing if you're going to go ahead and buy it.
