Guitar Player Magazine calls the Fulltone Effects GT-500 Pedals " ...the most musical 2 in 1 distortion box..." With a F.E.T Hi-Gain Distortion and Overdrive Booster that can be set to go in either order via the "series switch" in the middle, this box is more than a simple 2-in-1. Played by Chris Boerner on a Stevenson Pop Classic Custom Future, through a Mojave Coyote Head into a Mojave 2x12 Cabinet. For more info check out www.soundpure.com ...
What we think:
This two-in-one hi-gain distortion and boost pedal is sure to please the hard rock crowd! Talk about flexability! Get your hands on this true-bypass monster and hear where it takes your tone!
Description:
Discrete F.E.T. Hi-Gain Distortion and Overdrive Booster IN ONE BOX. You could think of them as 2 separate pedals. or think of them as stages to be linked together for endless combinations. Hi-Gain side has Volume, Distortion knobs, Bass, Mid, and Highs mini pots. Booster Side has Volume, Overdrive knobs, Bass and Highs mini pots. (these new hi-Q sealed mini pots don't break BTW)
Hard clipped distortion (the way most pedals achieve distortion) at one point in a circuit can be cool, but stage after stage of FET (GT-500) is very real, very amplike, has ridiculous amounts of sustain even at low volume, does the great chunky low string rhythm stuff and cleans up incredibly well when you turn down the guitar's volume. The GT500 contains 9 x FET's, 2 Mosfets and 1 x Transistor with no opamps or clipping diodes used.
What's special about the EQ?
The Hi-Gain side has a discrete Inductor-Driven Midrange circuit....never been done in a pedal before. Yes there's a wah wah inductor inside the pedal that gives the Midrange control its ability to drastically increase or decrease the entire Low Mid, Mid, and Hi-Mid frequencies, to comical proportions. All this is done without any opamps because all of the active 3 Band EQ's I've tried are horrible, killing all harmonics, all excitement, and sounding as sterile as the "EQ" in a Digital Recording Program. Nope, this has 100% discrete matched FET's ;)
This Mid control mixed with a strong Bass and Treble control help give the GT-500 the ability to dial in more variations than a simple tone control, which can only roll off the Highs.
What's the "Series switch" in the middle do?
The Series Select Switch allows you to choose which pedal comes first (allowing you to instantly change the order of the 2 circuits)
Booster ------> Distortion
or
Distortion-------> Booster
