Product Description

If you like to play it loud and proud, but don't want to worry about unwanted distortion, the FB-3 was designed just for you. If gives you 35db of gain with 11-position gain control, an additional stage of FET (over the first two versions), and true-bypass switching. The Fulltone FatBoost 3 effects pedal replaces previous versions 1 and 2, marrying everything that people liked about both versions while improving on them in a few key areas: The FB-3 brings back the v1 11-position Gain control to give the ultimate in control over the FETs The FB-3 adds one more stage of FET so that the pedal does not invert your signal The FB-3 cures v1's huge bass increase and dull high-end issues, but allows those sounds as well should you so desire The Fulltone FatBoost 3 is a discrete, Class-A, FET (Field-Effect-Transistor) guitar pedal offering up to 35dB of non-distorted gain without changing your signature sound, unless you want that. You can fatten/distort your tone, brighten or mellow up the sound, add or subtract bass, and even add harmonics. The FB-3 has true-bypass switching (via the Fulltone 3PDT) and incorporates a super-bright LED without the loud popping sound thanks to Fulltone's proprietary anti-pop circuitry. FET's can behave like tubes in a properly designed circuit. They can clip (distort) in a pleasing way instead of being buzzy or spiky-sounding (like a transistor) and can also add a subtle limiting to the signal which can even out the volume making your live and recorded tones more pleasing to the ear. If you're a recording engineer, you'll be happy to know you can use the Fulltone FatBoost 3 on everything from acoustic and electric guitar to electric bass, and even snare drums. The FatBoost 3 pedal works great in front of non-Master Volume tube amps to goose them into submission, as well as through Master Volume amps to drive them much harder than possible with just your guitar alone. It also works very well on bass, acoustic guitars (with pickups), and ...

Clean Boost Delight
I was in the market for a clean boost for my simple home recording rig. I got a few recommendations from fellow musicians and audio engineers to check this one out. It definitely delivered and did the job. It cleaned up my tone nicely. Especially with my distorted tone. I was surprised to see it even helped push the virtual tubes of my Mesa Boogie plug-in.Very satisfied customer :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes your tone even better!
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2011

I love my my tone and this pedal thickens amplifies and saturates the signal just enough to give the sound extra guts without coloring it at all (more tone is always good!) You can use the drive to give some breakup but its not really an overdrive pedal. Sounds good on overdrive channel but I love the way it makes my clean tones stand out, especially with single pups. I have the pedal at the end of the effects chain as recommended (it is better there) but sometimes when the mood hits I will run my guitar into this then straight into the amp. Sounds great either way! Read the reviews on musicians friend for more. If this is the effect you are looking for then you will be very pleased with this pedal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still trying to get a feel for how to best use it...

This will be a fairly short review since I'm still finding where best to use it - as a clean boost it can work wonderfully, but, at the same time, it seems for me at least, a clean boost isn't really what I'm after tonally...it's subtle. On paper that's what I want - just slam the first gain stage a bit harder and the rest will follow and more awesome results, but in practice it's not as much as I thought it'd be.

That said, it does sound good in front of my Orange AD32HTC...it's transparent, which is great - it allows the amp to sound like it should, but goosed a bit harder. Subtle, but notable. A lot of variation between the two knobs, and the two EQ controls help to make sure it stays pretty true...

I really like this pedal, I use it many ways sometimes as a clean boost (tone enhancer/ tone shaper) or Sometimes as a transparent overdrive. Also I use it to boost the guitar signal when ( Direct Recording ) to my audio interface, I use it in conjunction with a Cabinet simulator and with other pedals, I notice when recording when I use the FB-3 it produces a more natural sound (amp sound) and when its off I notice a more digital/ processed sound. So Its been a useful pedal for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pedal !!

I bought this pedal for a clean boost. I have found that it is very versatile. It can overdrive an amp as well as a clean boost. It adds a lot of "Sparkle and Shimmer" to your tone. I find that I leave it on most of the time. Built to last.
