Fulltone
Fulltone pedals in Canada, from Ottawa. Fulltone has built pedals since 1991, now hand-built in the USA by Fulltone USA. We keep OCDs, Full-Drives, fuzzes and wahs in stock, and test every one on our bench before it ships.

Fulltone pedals at Lauzon Music
What Fulltone is known for
The OCD. Fulltone has built pedals since 1991, and the OCD is the one most players know: it hard-clips through a pair of MOSFETs tied to half the supply voltage rather than to ground, which gives it the give of an amp's tube rectifier when you dig in. Much of the range chases that amp-like response, from the JFET-based Full-Drive3 and Hi-Mu to the germanium '69 fuzz. Since 2024 the pedals have been designed and hand-built in the USA by Fulltone USA.
The models we carry
What's in the shop changes week to week. See the Fulltone overdrives, fuzzes and wahs in stock.
- OCD-Germanium. The OCD with two germanium diodes alongside the MOSFETs, for more sustain and a more tube-like feel
- Full-Drive2 v2. The 1990s Full-Drive circuit around a JRC4558 chip, with two footswitchable overdrives, each with its own Volume and Drive
- Full-Drive3. JFET input and JFET op-amp, separate Overdrive and Boost channels, and a three-way clipping switch
- Hi-Mu. A Custom Shop lead drive built on four new old stock JFETs, with no op-amps or diodes
- '69 Pedal mkII. Two hand-picked germanium transistors, Contour and Input Bias knobs, and it cleans up as you roll back your guitar's volume
- Clyde Deluxe. Fulltone's wah, with three selectable wah modes and a variable input level control

Questions
Fulltone questions, answered
Is Fulltone still making pedals?
Yes. In 2023 Brad Jackson, of Jackson Audio and Jackson Ampworks, licensed Fulltone Musical Products, and since Winter NAMM 2024 Fulltone USA has carried on the design, manufacturing, support and distribution of Fulltone pedals. They're still hand-built in the USA.
Where are Fulltone pedals made?
In the USA. Fulltone says each pedal is designed and hand-built there, as it has been since the company started in 1991.
What's the difference between the Full-Drive1, Full-Drive2 and Full-Drive3?
The Full-Drive1 is a single-channel version of the late 1990s Full-Drive, with a JRC4558 chip and a toggle for Flat-Mids, Vintage and Comp-Cut modes. The Full-Drive2 v2 keeps that 1990s circuit but gives you two footswitchable overdrives, each with its own Volume and Drive. The Full-Drive3 moves to a JFET input and JFET op-amp, with separate Overdrive and Boost channels, an order switch and a three-way clipping switch.
What makes the OCD different from other overdrives?
Most overdrives clip through diodes to ground. The OCD uses two MOSFETs clipping to a reference at half the supply voltage, which Fulltone says gives a more natural distortion that feels like the sag of a tube rectifier. The OCD-Germanium adds two germanium diodes to that pair for more sustain and a slightly wider dynamic range.
Do you ship Fulltone pedals to the US?
Yes. Every Fulltone pedal is tested on our bench and ships insured, free over $200 across Canada and the US, with no duty on US orders.
