Derrire Fulltone is one man: Michael Fuller. Fuller pedals offer high-end, hand mills in the United States and whose inspiration is rsolument vintage (almost like all the pedals "shop" elsewhere. Guitarists are conservative. ..).

- Hand manufactured in the United States
- Fully analog
- Rocking crmaillre
- Switch mcanique
- True, true-bypass (in French, a real true bypass, that we should prciser incredible!)
- Tmoin light activation
- Volume / boost notched 10 not
- 3 modes: wacked, shaft and Jimi
- Internal trim pot controls the Q-factor (intensity of effect)
- Powered by 9V battery or mains

The center of the BTE, a self-inductance Fulltone trs sign near the Vox Clyde McCoy's original 1967.

The quality of construction and finish is irrprochable. A strong smelling PDAL crafts (each is numrote pedals by hand).
Mine is black finish, but outside of the color, the picture is exactly the top.

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple.
2 slecteurs external:
- The volume / boost in notches 10, thereby "mmoriser" his favorite position.
- The three modes which are in fact the beach sweeps frequency drives: low mdiums for "wacked" mdiums for "Jimi" and high-mdiums for "shaft".
The scale is sensitive prcise and progressive.
The switch is calibrated.

Lowlight: the internal trim pot controls the Q-factor, yet convenient to qualify the wah. Must disassemble the plate in order to infrieure accder. This is a bad habit trsrpandue Wahs in high-end. It is practical and anti-agaant.
Personally, I drilled an opening in order to Dremel accder without disassemble the pedals. Note that here the plate is particulirement Paisse!

SOUND QUALITY

It is here that the pedals shine. We suspected.
Mode "Jimi" Hendrix REFERENCE Obviously made and the sound of the Vox Clyde McCoy, a true-bypass and more. Well rounded, nice heat. The sweep is sweet and sounds were always of the body and DEFINITIONS.
Mode "wacked" is more centered on low mdiums. Ideal for 7-string or bass. The bass are still good and never Dfine deafening.
Mode "shaft" is REFERENCE ... Shaft, HROS SERIES and movies of the 70s'. Made for the funk, so. Here are slammin acute but never garish.

The boost is transparent.
Q-factor module provides a nice overall versatility, NUANS an effect that can sometimes be too spectacular. Too bad it's so difficult to access.

OVERALL OPINION

No doubt, a high-wah range. Quality manufacturing, solid versatility, beauty of sound.

Personally I have no concern for reliability until now, but I take care of my pedals trs, especially with the dusts.
A CHRE pedals, but at the cost justification.
