This authentic Fulltone Full-Drive 3 was handmade by Mike Fuller and/or his crew at the Fulltone CA Shop in Culver City, CA in April, 2018, before Jackson Audio took over moving manufacturing to Nashville. Inside, you can see their handwritten serial number and date. It has the side thumbscrews that some of the current models lack. This pedal is a work of art and is in perfect working order. Used gently in a smoke-free environment; only hints of exceedingly minor imperfections can be seen. See photos. If you are interested in what it sounds like: listen to guitarist Zac Sokolow of LA LOM as it is the only overdrive he uses between his guitar and his Fender Twin Reverb. It uses both a JFET input and a JFET op-amp, giving it the most tube-like sound you can get out of a tubeless pedal. Along with great sound, these JFET’s give the pedal an ultra-high Input impedance which allows the pedal to mate with any type/gain of pickup and react well to changes in your guitar’s volume control. Additionally, it contains a Germanium diode Limiter circuit that can make even a stiff amp feel responsive and juicy, and sweeten the treble frequencies. A three-way switch allows selection of symmetrical clipping, asymmetrical, clipping, and pure op amp overdrive with no diode clipping. The Full-Drive 3 has completely independent overdrive and boost channels, and the toggle switch allows placing the boost  before or after the overdrive. The boost channel is also an extremely transparent, high-headroom 100% JFET-powered circuit. Do not confuse the hi-quality JFET op-amp buffer found in this pedal with the simple single transistor buffers in other pedals. The Full-Drive 3 buffer sounds rich and fat, not thin.
