Still do.  Wala akong gear na sinasanto, any time pwede ko pakawalan if I need GAS funds or grow tired of them.  Pero this MOSFET FD2 and my Tim have been my main OD pedals for almost a year na... and I'm still discovering and learning how to make the best use of them in different situations w/ different gtrs and amps.

It is based on a TS but also expands on the TS concept, design- and tone-wise.  There is an OD setting that is TS-ish but there is another that's more transparent.  Comp cut is very good and can give the Klon Centaur a run for its money.  I understand Mike Fuller incorporated all the little 'updates' he made to the Fulldrive and put it all in this box. 

Vic - check mo na lang full review ko sa HC.  Or try mine when we see each other again.  I do have soundclick clips.  Some of my gigs on youtube are with that FD2, incl these recent two:


All in my IMHO of course, as a blueser fond of vintage tones for reference.

hehe... inducted member na namin yan.  but he can't always be in all the gigs.  i wish nga nakahabol siya sa Blueskrieg cd, for some tasty guitar and harp work.  it's dangerous fun to jam with him!   :wink:

speaking of which, nood kayo ng "Blue Christmas" party/concert tonight at Conspiracy, Visayas Ave 9pm up if you wanna see us (and Blue Rats, Soul Benders, and Snakecharmer) have 'dangerous fun'.   ;-)

i've sampled delta's and i'd give an arm and a leg for one of these souped up tubescreamers. :-D :-D

ay mali. useless na pala pag arm and leg. 2 little toes na lang. or all the pedals i have. minus the keeleys. and the gt8. and the sobbat.

so that leaves just the ultra fuzz :-D :-D

kidding. i've never really liked tubescreamers. i've always been into more "open" sounding ods. nung jam/practice where i was able to sample it, everytime i thought i'd found my favorite setting on it, i'd discover something i like too. tas eventually i ended up with a tubescreamer sound that i really liked and i told delta about it. tas when he looked down at my settings sabi nya "tubescreamer setting na yan e" :-D :-D

ok. so gusto ko pala ng tubescreamers. basta tubescreamer na ganyan ang itsura and tunog.

hehe... over my dead body... and cold fingers...

lahat naman ng TS type pedals may binabagayn. in my experience, strats and teles (or LPs w/ P90s) pair best with it.  sa FD2, best if you're on comp cut if you use an LP and an already dirty amp.

but the Tim.... now that's a pedal perfect for LP w/ HBs.  i heard someone else (messyhands) play through it and it was proof of my initial impression w/ my own gtrs.

all IMHO!  YMMV.
