Fulltone GT-500 Overdrive / Distortion Pedal
The Fulltone GT-500 is a discrete FET Hi-Gain Distortion and Overdrive Booster in one enclosure. It’s like having two pedals in one, which gives you endless combinations. The Hi-Gain section has Volume and Distortion knobs plus minipots for Bass, Mid and Highs.
The Booster side has Volume and Overdrive knobs plus mini-pots for Bass and Highs.
Unlike any other pedal, the GT-500 contains 5 FET’s, 2 MOSFETS’s, and 3 transistors. The sound is verry amp-like with tons of sustain, even at low volume. Turn down the guitar’s volume and listen to it clean up!
An inductor controlled EQ? The Hi-Gain side has a discrete inductor-driven midrange circuit, which has never been done in a pedal before. An inductor gives the pedal the ability to drastically increase or decrease the entire Low-Mid, Mid, and High-Mid frequencies, just like a wah can! All this is done without any op-amps, which can compress and give a very sterile sound. All pedals come with 100% discrete matched FET's!
The Series Select Switch allows you to choose which pedal comes first in the signal chain Choose:
Booster--> Distortion
or
Distortion--> Booster
Why does order matter? Clean Boost driving into a Distortion sounds way different than a Distortion followed by the Clean Boost. When you throw the respective EQ's of each pedal into play, you get tonal combinations you’ve only dreamed of!
