FULLTONE 70

Have you ever played a FuzzFace box made around 1970? If not, the Fulltone 70 pedal fuzz effect can give you that experience - a wild unbridled fuzz distortion that will create all sorts of oscillations at higher volumes, but that's how rock music should finally be. If you're looking for a well-mannered, decent and quiet fuzz effect, then you should certainly look elsewhere.

A box with two plan-mismatched silicon transistors will work great with vintage machines like older Marshalls with four inputs. It offers considerably more fuzz draw than the Fulltone '69, shares the sonic secrets of Eric Johnson's Blue Fuzzface pedal effect that Mike Fuller had a chance to review, and lets you stand out in the mix thanks to the Mids controller.

The pedal effect is wired as a true bypass. A 9V battery or 9V adapter is required for power.

The American brand Fulltone was one of the leading manufacturers of boutique pedal effects from the 1990s until the year of discontinuation (2022). Boxes such as the Full Drive or OCD are sure to be found in many pedalboards of well-known and respected musicians. But nothing lasts forever, and so the Fulltone brand returns in an exclusive partnership with pedal effects manufacturer Jackson Audio. The brand's founder, Mike Fuller, continues as production supervisor and designer of the new pedal effects.
