differenct fulltone bassdrives?

Sign in to disble this ad
just wondering about the fulltone bassdrive..

in one of the bands ive recently joined, playing keys instead of bass, the bassist uses a fulltone bassdrive and its dawned on me that i effing love the sound of that pedal.. way more than the overdrive i use when playing bass.

from reading a few posts about the bassdrive, its obvious im not the only one, but whats not so obvious to me are that there seem to have been a few different versions of the pedal before it was discontinued, with different characteristics.. that seems to be reflected in prices i've seen too, like seen a couple recently go for $100-150, but then ebay shows several going for $250-350?

could someone school me on the history and general consensus on the versions of this pedal? what are the diffs pre-mosfet and mosfet, what sounds better and are there other differences to look for? am i right in assuming that the earlier ones which were hand made fetch much more and sound a lil better than the latter 'mosfet' versions that were not handmade?

I'm kind of curious to know this as well. I have one of the first ones he made out of the fulldrive 2. I was under the impression that all the Fulltone pedals were still hand made but I could be wrong...
