Fulltone Fat Boost 3:
The new Fulltone Fat Boost 3 replaces previous versions 1 and 2, marrying everything that players like about both versions while improving on them in a few key areas:

It brings back the v1 11-position Gain control, giving the ultimate in control over the FETs.
It adds one more stage of FET so that the pedal does not invert your signal.
It cures v1's huge bass increase and dull high-end issues, but allows those sounds as well, should you so desire.

The Fulltone Fat-Boost 3 is a Discrete, Class-A, FET (Field-Effect-Transistor) pedal offering up to 35dB of non-distorted Gain without changing your signature sound, unless you so desire. You can fatten/distort your tone, brighten or mellow up the sound, add or subtract bass, and add even-order harmonics! The FB-3 has True-Bypass switching (using the finest switch made, 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 effect to the signal which can even-out the volume making your live and recorded tones more pleasing to the ear. That's why you'll see recording engineers using the Fulltone Fat-Boost on everything including acoustic & electric guitar, electric bass, and even snare drums.

The Fat-Boost 3 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 and acoustic guitars (with pickups), and is the best thing you could put at the end of a pedalboard effects chain to completely eliminate the tone loss caused by long guitar cable runs back to your amp. Doing so will allow the use of 50' (or longer) cable lengths with no signal degradation whatsoever.

This final version of the Fat-Boost (Model FB-3) incorporates all of the things that players have loved about previous versions of the Fulltone Fat-Boosts without any of the shortcomings, and brings back the 11 step FET Bias "Drive" Knob that was missing from the FB-2. You'll notice that the "Drive" knob makes a slight scraping noise when you turn it. Not to worry, that is totally normal, and is simply the sound of the Bias changing and settling on the FET MuAmp. The Fat-Boost 3 gives you the feeling that your amp is Cranked at living room volumes so your playing is more dynamic and notes hold on longer without being distorted. It makes up for all the tone loss that (even True-Bypass) pedals impart to your sound. If you have a lot of pedals on your pedalboard, you may find that you rarely turn the FB-3 off!

HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEW 4/30/2009:
"I use silver face Fender Princetons and Champs This pedal is dead quiet. Seems to simply boost and fatten a tone that is already good through these amps. I use the pedal as a boost on top of the Fulldrive 2 which is a great pedal in its own right. This gives me a "three channelish" solution when used in conjunction with the FD2."
